"Last Word"-The Fantasy Football Factor

SUSIE GHARIB: And finally tonight, the football season officially kicks off next week. But fantasy football is in full swing and could be costing employers big bucks. In case you don't know, fantasy football is a game in which friends create a league by drafting and trading players. Then the fantasy teams play against each other. A recent study by Challenger, Gray and Christmas finds if fantasy football players spend just 10 minutes of work time playing online, it could cost employers $275 million a year. That number goes up the more time employees devote to the game. And, Paul, banning fantasy football may not be an option either. The report found doing that could damage morale in a way that's more costly than time spent on the game.

KANGAS: Tough problem to tackle, right?

GHARIB: You're right about that.
