Fans going overboard over NFL?

Marco Rosales, 29, said his new job has banned fantasy football Web sites from Internet access.

"It kind of stinks because I can't make transactions during the day," Rosales said. "But the good thing is I have Sprint, which has a deal with the NFL, and I can stay plugged in if there's any news with my cell phone."

Rosales was on South Beach, not far from where ESPN was shooting SportsCenter. He was wearing a Peyton Manning jersey, hoping to run into one of the players on his fantasy team.

"I used to be just a Dolphins fan," Rosales said. "But when they started to stink, I signed up for fantasy football. Now, I know all about all the players and teams. My wife hates to be around me on Sundays because all I do is watch football. I feel guilty for about five seconds. Then, the game comes back on and it's all good."
