We’ve seen some funny fantasy football punishments over the years, but nothing might be as wild as what Luke Combs made his buddies do recently.
During a show at Paycor Stadium, where the Cincinnati Bengals play, Luke Combs took fan engagement to a whole new level. He asked the crowd, “Who knows what fantasy football is in here?” Unsurprisingly, nearly everyone raised their hands.
Luke then shared a story about his long-standing fantasy football league with friends from high school. “I’ve been in a fantasy football league with some of my best friends from high school for 12 years now, and last year we decided whoever lost was going to have to come on stage and sing with me tonight,” he announced.
As if that wasn’t nerve-wracking enough, he added a twist: due to a scoring issue in the last game, there were actually TWO losers, so both had to come out and sing. Luke couldn’t hide his excitement, telling the crowd, “I am so excited . . . and these guys have been nervous about this for a long time.”
Some people online speculated that it might not be so bad to sing in front of a crowd of 60,000 people, imagining it could be a thrilling experience. However, for Luke Combs’ two friends, this definitely felt like a punishment, especially since they were not exactly blessed with vocal talents.
The duo struggled their way through a rendition of “Walking in Memphis.” Despite their less-than-stellar performance, the crowd loved every moment.
(WARNING: There’s profanity in the video. You can watch it, here.)
