When do you know you are hooked on EF?

[GrandMasterKC]

I just thought of another sign of being hooked....When you tweak a base until the last hour then go to sleep ...awaken before work to check the base for consistancy....before 7AM

...after spending waaaaay more time on this site then I should. When I'm out with friends and I can't wait to get back home to play EF. When I go to Home Depot/Lowes/Michaels often to see if I can purchase items to improve my EF experience. When I go to FF.com every few days to drool over items that I know I should not be buying right now. Did I mention that I spend waaaaay to much time on this site? When I'm constantly tweaking bases to get players to perform better. When reading the Tweak is more interesting then reading the daily newspaper. When I rather watch this hobby's supreme customizers create a better product then what we Detroiters see on the real gridiron every Sunday. When I day dream of some day building my own field from scratch and make it with as many bells and whistles that I can think of. When watching the ever important Presidential debates I get figety and want to go scrimmage a couple of my solitaire teams.

I did say that I spend way to much time on this site....right?

When you lie to your Wife about how much money you have invested in your team, board, bases , etc.......

I was hooked at the age of 4...but I am reminded today everytime I go into the grocery store and go down the utensil isle looking to see if I can use anything for my football stadium!

It is amazing what can be used for this hobby with just a little imagination...

yea!!! what jeff said

[GreenBayGlenn]

Yep, I can vouch for all this. I've gone so far as to spend 10 years building a company and taking it public just to support my outrageous MF spending habit! LOL! Yes, it really is what drives my business! I'm even so bold now as to show investors my EF websites and I'm even getting one into this hobby! How's that for going bananas for MF?!?! ?! !?

This is crazy. There are others out there like me. i am normal.

i can relate to EVERYTHING that was said here.

Especially, almost all that DetroitChild posted,
then the parts about going down aisles looking for ef stuff
and the best,
lying to the wife about how much money i actually spend on this hobby.

[Franny-j-boy]

I have been cracking up reading all of these post. Jeff, I know you invest a lot of money because i see you working on your team all the time. You inspire me a ton ,and don't even know. I'm just glad i decided to get in your league. It has changed my life for the best.
Now the rest of you are really what I wish I could recruit into our league. People who are serious about playing and loving this awesome game. Thanks for sharing.

I knew I was hooked after I painted my first two teams, started constructing a stadium, worrying about field dress and what materials to use while running back and forth between the hobby shops and wal-mart....and I haven't even played a game yet

As long as you're having fun.
