glikster04 Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 I think the Redskins should coin the disease "RW" - Redskins Withdrawal. Symptoms: headache sadness excessive amounts of time spent on ES excessive amounts of time watching past games I have all of these problems. I need the season to start now!!!

RiggoReincarnated Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Yes, and the acute phase is between free agency/draft and training camp...when very little is taking place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllAboutSkins08 Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 yes, i definitely have those symptoms. my days usually consist of refreshing ES every 2 minutes and searching youtube for any redskins clips i can find. this has been the longest offseason EVER! congrats on the 100th post!

Santana_Fan Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 yes, I try to run my own games on Sundays, in hope that the season comes up faster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunBunch7 Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Don't forget to add diarhea to the list. Usually around week 10 of the regular season, I start to imagine life without football...what will I do on sundays? Well, I'm livin' it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurseReversed Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 i want to watch old games, I've always wondered where I can get some game footage to watch in the offseason. Where do you get your games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bnacpa Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 This is the offseason ... time to get a mistress, take those weekend trips that you couldn't take during the regular season (Atlantic City, Vegas ...), stock up on $$$ for the regular season so that you can travel to away games, and work on your golf game. The season will be upon us soon and yes withdrawl sucks ... but it also makes the regular season that much more special! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIDETHEWALRUS Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 I feel ya man. I tried switching over to Madden in the off-season, but it is just a temporary cure. I was wondering if there was a way to be put in a surgically induced coma during the off-season just to be awaken come pre-season. Might even pro-long my life a bit.

Teller Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 glikster, you're clearly suffering from OSS (Off-Season Syndrome). This is similar to SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) and seems to run in a cycle. For most patients, OSS begins in early February, and doesn't begin to show signs of improvement until mid to late July. There is no known cure, but some sufferers have found temporary relief by watching Redskins highlights on NFL Network. Take comfort in knowing that you're not alone. The support group here at ES is over 50,000 strong. No matter how bad you feel, there's someone here who has been through it before, and can help you. :logo: HAIL! :helmet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HapHaszard Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 don't worry after 40 or 50 years the symptoms begin to wain, I only spend 1/2 my waking hours on ES now. The rest of my time I just fritter away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thirtyfive2seven Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 I shoot hoops or play football with a group of guys around NOVA. That passes the time and gives me the fix I require for now. If not, I play RTCW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peregrine Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Took a trip to the Pittsburgh area this weekend, and on the way back, watched the Skins Cowboys games from last year. If that doesnt put a smile on your face, nothing will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HailSkinz1 Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 If you really want to get depressed, think for a moment what the poor fans from other teams are going through. At least we have ES and Redskins.com TV!!! Gawd, could you imagine the offseason without those?!? Hail, H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinz89 Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 yes i went to the doctor and he said that i need to watch NFL Europe Football :doh: but it just wasnt the same so he gave me some classic skins games to watch it seemed to help a little:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddub52 Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 I cant imagine how people coped with the offseason when there was no computers to post on ES, and no highlights vids to watch. even madden helps me out a little Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPstretch Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 i've watched so many damn highlight videos from the 2005 season it isnt even funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hambone26 Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 agreed. but it does get me through my week. it makes me actually do my homework because i tell myself "Sunday is football day. No work shall be done." :logo: This reminds me of the Alabama song High Cotton: When sunday mornings rolled around We dressed up in hand-me downs Just in time, together with the church. Sometimes I think how long its been And how it impressed me then It was the only day my daddy wouldnt work. That's because Daddy was a Redskins fan! I've found it's hard to do work when one arrives at FedEx at 10:00am and doesn't leave until almost 8:00pm. That has to be the worst part of OSS - not getting dressed up every other Sunday morning in Skins' gear, pimping the ride with burgundy and gold, and driving to FedEx with a huge smile on my face. Waiting 'till Sunday makes everything in between insignificant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phixius Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 It's very tough. Every year. I would be somewhat happy when NFL Live start airing again on ESPN. I be happy for preseason to start but that last for a week or 2 , but It gives me something to talk about before the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
