Fantasy Football 2012: Are You a Fantasy Football Addict?

I woke up in a big sweat this morning, hands clammy and pulse racing. Every fiber of my being felt like it was being attacked. I hadn’t had this feeling in a quite a while, but then I started remembering. It was simple; even though I thought I had conquered my addiction, it had come roaring back.

Have you ever been addicted to something and just couldn’t seem to think of anything else? No matter how much you try to push it away, it always comes flying right back. This monkey just won’t seem to get off my back.

No I’m not talking about drugs, alcohol or even sex. My addiction is strictly for Fantasy Football. I just can't ever seem to get enough of it...ever! It seems to permeate every pore in my body. I know some of you might be going through this same thing, but don’t even realize it. So I decided to put together a list of 25 things that can help you identify whether or not you have the same problem.
