August 24, 2007 (Computerworld) -- For employers, the upcoming online NFL fantasy football season could create something of a gridiron quandary. While fantasy football will likely hit worker productivity as employees go online to check on their teams, blocking access could hit morale.

Just put up with it for most workers and go after anyone who seriously shirks work, said James Pedderson, a spokesman for Challenger, Gray & Christmas Inc., a Chicago-based outplacement business. "Every business has to look at it kind of on a case-by-case basis," Pedderson said, and if a particular worker's output drops because of fantasy football activity, then that worker can be dealt with individually
