web surfing could be a sport; i read in my psychology book that there is such thing as internet addiction. and these are the signs that you may have a 'intenet addiction" if you fit four or more:
-preoccupation with the internet (thinking about it while offline)
-inability to control internet use
-using the internet to escape from problems
-going through withdrawal when offline
-staying on longer than originally intended.

hmm so that kinda makes me wonder would it be the same as say a porn addiction? or maybe a shoe addiction?

i think NHL players ask for way to much money for what they do.
