Millions of us have thoroughly enjoyed EA Sports’ “College Football 25”, the first licensed college football game in over a decaded. By many accounts, it’s the best-selling sports video game of all-time.
One of the most enthusiastic fans is legendary NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. Now retired from racing, Earnhardt has plenty of time to play video games, and he’s taken dynasty mode to the extreme.
Dale Jr., now 50, has always been a huge football fan, especially loving the Washington Commanders. Clearly, he’s a big college football fan, as he’s dominating his online dynasty with his friends with unreal dedication. Take a look at this clip.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. is an absolute PSYCHOPATH w/ CFB 25 and I respect him so much for it
He has an iPad full of spreadsheets dedicated to play-calling, his depth chart, and who he’s recruiting in dynasty mode 😂😂😂 @DaleJr pic.twitter.com/oltnD4PeFi

I’ve been known to play a ton of CFB 25, and dynasty mode can get quite addicting. Building up your team, especially a smaller school, into a powerhouse is an incredibly rewarding video game experience. And, doing it against your buddies in an online dynasty adds another layer of fun to it.
But, this is borderline psycho behavior by Dale Jr. That’s an insane amount of effort for a videogame. But, he’s not a working man like you and I any longer. He’s got the time.
