How obsessed are you with the NFL?

Posted via email from Ben Hanten - Ben Hanten

I have spent about $8,000 in preparation for the NFL season. I might be a little obsessed, but... - Ben Hanten

Very. - Kevin (aka ThreadKilla)

Kevin, I hope you're not one of those Seahawks fans who are still upset about that Super Bowl.... - Ben Hanten

very very - chaz2b

at the end of the season they always leave you wanting a little more, you can call it a obsession, sinfully so. - Tate

I dont have any plans on watching the NFL, between the felons and the stupid content rules the NFL has installed, I have no reason to watch... - MikeDeal / ZoneDancer

The most popular sport in America and no one has love for it on FF? - Ben Hanten

I work near the Panthers stadium. We have to leave our parking garage early Thursday because of a pre season game. I have been twice. I grew up a NY Giants fan. strange when they play each other. - Mike Nencetti

$8K? What the hell did you buy? - Derrick

@BEN Damn!!!! $8K? I hope that includes Superbowl tickets or something - Shevonne

I hope you bought season tickets with some of that money. - Eric - Final Countdown

There are ALOT of Pittsburgh Steeler fans in Charlotte, NC. - Mike Nencetti

I love football and I have season tickets as of two years ago after being on the waiting list about 10 years. Now, my team's prowess is in serious question. Figures. - Eric - Final Countdown

I grew up in Canada, so I have some excuse. I watch a fair amount of football if it's on...but no team allegiances (especially since Ottawa lost its CFL team for the second time), and the only football games I HAVE to watch are the Grey Cup and the Super Bowl. - Kristin of Two Everything

Nobody follow the link? :) The $8000 went to a couple new HDTVs, high def receivers, endzone season tickets to the Chiefs, 14 tickets to a Steelers game, the NFL Sunday Ticket, apparel, and more prize money for the bar. - Ben Hanten

I followed it too, but by my calculation, you only spent like thirteen bucks. ;) - Derrick

No tats on this canvas. Direct TV alone will cost about $1500. - Ben Hanten

But Pea, this obviously means you have a tattoo of your favorite team? - Ben Hanten

Battle of the fans. In one corner, Pea with a team tattoo. In the other, BEN with $8K of NFL memorabilia . Who will reign supreme?! - Shevonne

the what? - ‘-.-’ Tutivillus Grift

Pics or it didn't happen. :) What team and where? - Ben Hanten

Oh no.... The Cowboys.... - Ben Hanten

You're welcome for that SuperBowl win. Neil O'Donnell was just a little confused about which team he was playing for. - Ben Hanten

You did get the memo that the boys aren't "America's Team" and more, right? That belongs to the Sixburgh Steelers. We're a little unsure about winning again because Sixburgh sounds better than Sevenburgh; but I guess it's necessary to get to Sixteenburgh. - Ben Hanten

Wow. You are very disarming. What bad can I say after that? - Ben Hanten

B E N, actually I'm a transplanted Patriots fan who still thinks we should have beaten the Giants for the perfect season and considers all members of the Manning family to be my personal enemies. - Kevin (aka ThreadKilla)

Kevin, I think you guys are going to bounce back nicely this year. Hope we can meet you guys in the AFC Championship again. - Ben Hanten

Me too, B E N. BTW, thanks for ginning up some good old American-style sports talk on FF. Sports get almost no love here, except soccer and Formula 1. - Kevin (aka ThreadKilla)

Oh, and one more thing: ESPN just called the Pats "the NFL's premier franchise." If it's on ESPN, it must be true. - Kevin (aka ThreadKilla)

Pea, they just didn't take into account the effect of Yoko Romo. - Ben Hanten

I see that! I can't bait you into an argument at all. I give up. :) - Ben Hanten

Pea, I lived in DC for 8 years. I think Redskin fans and the local media are quite possibly the worst in all of sports. They manage to be ridiculously fanatical and completely uninformed about the sport at the same time. - Kevin (aka ThreadKilla)

...apparently not as obsessed as I thought: I held my fantasy league dues firm, only $55, the recession special. .LOLz - .LAG liked that
