As the NFL regular season draws to a close, it’s time for the playoffs and fantasy football punishments.
Former NFL defensive tackle Spice Adams spoke to PK Press Club Digital in a recent interview about certain forms of punishment.
“The most complex one I’ve heard of is someone has to go to a bar as soon as it opens and then can’t leave until it closes,” Adams said.

“Meanwhile, they’re drinking beer every hour. Like that, right there, it would destroy me. It would destroy my soul to sit there and waste all this time, to be in there since… 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 all this, and it’s just a few of these bars, like you could really hurt yourself.”
Adams said Red Baron’s Humble Pie is a good alternative to opening and closing a bar. The pizza pie is covered in Carolina Reaper sauce, made with spicy mozzarella cheese with ghost pepper flakes, pepperoni sprinkled with cayenne pepper, fiery habanero slices and jalapeños.
The 45-year-old said the Humble Pie lives up to its name. Adams wore goggles and gloves to deal with the spice and heat.

“It’s definitely going to humble you. It’s got all the spices in the world. You know what I mean? And when you eat it, you know, you gotta come prepared, man. Like you gotta put these glasses on. You got gloves on, right? You can’t rub Carolina Reaper sauce on your fingers in your eyes. Like you can’t do that,” Adams warned.
“I have trouble putting gloves on because my fingers are swollen from playing football, but you get the gist. It’s a game, but it’s not a game.”

Adams said his fantasy football team has been “putrid” this season, but that San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey helped him avoid finishing last, meaning someone else in his league would eat the spicy “Humble Pie.”
Adams played in the NFL for nine seasons. He was drafted by the 49ers in the second round of the 2003 NFL Draft out of Penn State and spent the first four seasons of his career there. The last five seasons of his career were spent with the Chicago Bears.
In 121 career games, Adams recorded 214 solo tackles, 10½ sacks and three forced fumbles.
