- “Is Fantasy Football a business nightmare?” KARE-11 TV, Sept. 18, 2006. “At the University of Saint Thomas, the mixture of Fantasy Football and business gets mixed reviews.

I think that many people are under-reporting the amount of time that they're spending.’ In fact she believes the cost could be closer to $2 billion. But Psychology Professor John Tauer sees benefits for employees. ‘I may not have much control in my company, but I do decide who gets to play on Sunday. And so to the extent that companies could foster not only that camaraderie, but also a sense of control in their employees and autonomy, I think that would be really beneficial,’ said Tauer.” https://www.kare11.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=133560
