I imagine the way I feel right now is kind of how Amy Winehouse felt when they tried to make her go to rehab. I’m anxious, scared, confused, angry, and I may even have a touch of the shakes. (Unlike Amy, my hair isn’t weighed down by 5 pounds of hairspray and I don’t smell like 3-day old piss.) Still, the sad reality of football season coming to an end has me down in the dumps. Soon, they’ll try to make me watch Arena, and to that I say: “NO, NO, NO!”
Today I take the first step down a long football-less road. I have the option to enjoy brunch with my friends, hit the mall, or even watch Lifetime movies (gasp!) without the fear or dread of missing a second of game day action. Like any junkie, I can rest easy knowing just when and how I’ll get my next fix. It’s after Super Bowl Sunday that the withdrawals really kick in. In about two weeks, there’s a good chance I’ll be begging someone to inject an NFL replay of the Saints vs. Seattle straight to the vein. (You don’t even want to know what I’d do to get another hit of the BCS Championship Game.)
We hear the first step to overcoming an addiction is to admit you have one. And so, here goes. My name is Nola Chick: And I’m a football addict. I know I can survive until next Sunday. God help me the day after.

Sigh. I hear ya. But hey, there’s still Friday Night Lights. Until the writers’ strike kills that, too.
I need a friend.
Maybe we will get more Hornets action on ESPN to keep us appeased until NFL free agency starts. Which is early March-ish I believe. And then we can go back to ignoring all the other sports again.
Sigh. It is going to be a tough month without football action.
My son will start playing baseball again in March. So maybe, that will keep me afloat, but it’s not likely. I’ll still wallow in self-pity, but I’ll hide it and smile. Because, “it’s for the kids.”
LET IT GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do you realize how dominating the Hornets are?
Do you realize what we have hear?
I gave this a chance and now I love it.
You should to or New Orleans will lose its only sense of pride.
Oh man, I feel the same way! Good thing there’s college basketball to carry me through till March!
