This 1 Goes Out to All of the Fantasy Football Widows Out There

For some, September means the start of school [1] and the return of the PSL (pumpkin spice latte for the uninitiated) [2]. But for many of us, the month also brings the return of something deeper and more personal to our significant others — fantasy football. And while the idea of grown men spending hours researching and drafting football players for a make-believe team and then spending every Sunday (and Thursday night and Monday night) watching said players play and checking their computer screens and phones to see their points rack up sounds like hours of freedom, it's not. What it really is, is five months of spouses and partners being so involved in their teams that they ignore their families.

If you're a "fantasy football widow," you're not alone! Kim Holderness — the woman behind some of our favorite parody videos [3] — is one of us, and she's created a hysterical parody of "All by Myself" to showcase the pain we all feel. We think you'll recognize yourself in it. And, oh yeah, go team!
