A year and a half ago I promised my wife I would play only one team at a
time. Today I have 8 BTT80's teams playing plus 2 in playoffs plus 4 ATG2
plus 1 2005 for a total of 15 teams. But it could be worse - I don't have any 1969 teams playing currently so I am not doing so bad.

Hi! My name is Simon...and I'm an addict! I never thought I would be. It started off with the usual peer pressure, you know, "just try it once...see if you like it" banter. And so I began my descent with the soft stuff, ATG I. Things were fine. I understood my limits and always thought I was in control. I never dreamt it would lead to a gateway experience. But then, they changed the mixture and added ATG II! So many new players, so many new cards. My head pounded, my heart raced and my palms became sweaty from the euphoric sensation. I wanted more! Every other week I was pulling out the Visa for a frenzy fix. Then every week. The next thing I knew, I was up to 5 packs. My wife and kids noticed the change. I couldn't eat. My dreams became increasingly disturbing. Visions of HAL in a smoky room standing at a craps table rolling MY dice and laughing as if I were watching a film in slow motion. I know now I have to stop. It is out of control. I fear soon I will be laying on muttdoc's coach listening to him tell me I love my mother more than strat!! When will it end? I picture myself sitting in an alley with Steve McQueen while some little kid taunts me with "c'mon man...roll ya for a dollar!" :shock:

I am a particular species of this genus, Strat-0-holic. I am a FRENZ-0-holic, NOT ADDICTED to micro-managing these JacksonPollack-like creations of mine. Instead of using paint like some mere housepainter, I, the true artiste, throw my very brains at the CRT. Saving a CRT for each "Team" is somewhat expensive, but when I'm dead, I'll get my own showing at the Google-n-heim Museum and beautiful women will conjure up my ghost (oops, this izn't the romance-n-SOM thread?) :twisted:

LOL these are all funny. I don't know if I'm so much addicted to the game cuz I don't go over the boxscores in great detail. I just like the time after waivers end and you are racing to get the best players. That is fun...and it only lasts a few minutes. I'm an addict.
