I don't think rational thought is a symptom of addiction.

That's not addiction, that's laziness and an anti-social personality.

agreed I'm a little tired of people pointing fingers at video games its getting old.

Yup

What'd be really bad is if he was playing Madden, when he could have been doing it for real.

I don't think anyone was pointing their fingers at video games...they were acknowledging that some people are overly influenced by the desire to play them

This is quite an old story. He was at the Lions training camp last year, but unfortunately they have probably the deepest DL in the NFL so he didn't make the roster. He was addicted to Call of Duty if I recall.

Sorry, but addictive behaviors could manifest in one of many things. Video games have become the new Rock n' Roll, or more recently Rap of this decade. Blame video games.

Geeze I remember when Fox News was calling the X-Box the "Sex Box" because of the optional love scene in Mass Effect. I eagerly await for the next fad that will get the blame for all of the flaws of humanity.

This was the first article I read about Quinn Pitcock, although I found more from a couple years ago as well. He is a Defensive Tackle, not Offensive Lineman. He couldn't cut it on the Lions, because they have 5 starting caliber Defensive tackles on the team already.
