Spice Adams Says This Brutal Fantasy Football Punishment Would 'Destroy My Soul'

During Anthony "Spice" Adams' sports career, he competed San Francisco 49ers and the Chicago Bears between 2003 and 2011. After that, Adams proved that he was far from a one-trick pony by launching a new chapter that kept him in the spotlight in a new way. Adams remained successful by transitioning from the gridiron to becoming a TV co-host and comedian.

Between his years in the NFL and the time he has spent entertaining people, Adams seems perfectly positioned to speak about sports compellingly. Even still, the way that he recently described the harshest fantasy football punishment that he has heard of was even more compelling than expected.

In December 2025, Spice Adams spoke to Fox News Digital about something that happens around the world at the end of every NFL season: fantasy football punishments. While talking to the outlet, Adams explained the details of the most elaborate fantasy football punishment that he'd heard of.

"The most intricate I've heard of has been someone has to go to a bar when it opens, and then they can't leave until it closes. In between that time, they have beer every hour on the hour. "

After briefly describing a punishment that would take up hours of the sufferer's life and force them to consume excessive alcohol, Adams didn't hold back when he discussed how awful he would find that punishment. On top of describing why that punishment would cross the line for him, Adams expressed his opinion that it would be unsafe for anyone to be put through that.

"That would destroy my soul to sit there and waste all of that time, to be in there from — some of these bars open at 6 a.m. And they're there from 6 a.m. to sometimes 2 a.m. And they're recording the whole thing, and it's just some of these, like you can really hurt yourself."

As Spice Adams continued speaking with Fox News Digital, he joked that instead of spending hours stuck in a bar as punishment, eating Red Baron’s ultra-spicy Humble Pie might be an even more fitting consequence for fantasy football losers. The 7-inch pizza — loaded with Carolina Reaper sauce, spicy mozzarella, Ghost Pepper flakes, cayenne-dusted pepperoni, habanero slices, and jalapeño — is intentionally over-the-top, and Adams leaned into the bit while describing it.

“This will definitely humble you,” he told the outlet. “It has all the spices in the world in it. And when you eat it, you gotta come prepared… goggles, gloves — you can’t rub your eyes with Carolina Reaper sauce on your fingers.”

As part of a promotional partnership around the stunt, Red Baron created a limited batch of the Humble Pie pizzas specifically for fantasy football leagues looking for a dramatic punishment. Either way, it’s a punishment designed to burn — literally.
