Football Withdrawals

Do you ever start to have withdrawals from football? I know I do.. but i always thought it was something made up.
Loyola University did research on the feeling that fans get when the season is done and there is no football for months ... and they compared it to when someone is trying to quit smoking.

"t’s similar to what a smoker feels when deprived of a cigarette — except there’s no quick fix like a cigarette for the football fan."


I just found this article really interesting because i know people that get that way and I get that way sometimes as well. You get so used to watching something and it becomes part of your routine and then it's suddenly gone. It's why the first game is so exciting... the first game is always the start of another season and it's finally back.
Does that mean it's an addiction because you go through withdrawals ? Some would say yes ... some would say no. But even if it is .. i'd have to say thats one okay addiction ! (could be worse)

So if you're girlfriend or boyfriend or your friends start talking about how upset they are the seasons done.. just toss on some videos. Better yet NFL Network solves this problem, they've got everything you need to stop the withdrawals. I've always got NFL network on to get my football fix during the off season.


What do you do to get your football fix in the off season?
