The Lady Christians will travel to Wingate this weekend to begin the Food Lion SAC Tournament. Elon College, I have something difficult to confess to you in this week’s column. Although I have grown up in northern states and have captured your imagination with my knowledge of sports, I do not follow the National Hockey League. I do not have an opinion on who will roam through the playoffs and capture the Stanley Cup. I really do not care. Where do^ this apaihy come from? Hockey is a violent sport so that should draw some of my interest, but it does not. Those Denis Leary commercials on ESPN definitely generate some interest on my part during the ad, but five minutes later: Nothing! I thoroughly enjoyed that “Mighty Ducks” movie, yet I would watch baseball, basketball, or even the steroid-free WWF instead of hockey during my free time. Maybe hockey is a boring sport. You never know when someone is going to score a goal. Heck, the possibility exists that no one will ever score a goal. Isn’t that excellent? The question surfaces: What viewing alternative does a sports fan have this week? I’m glad that question has been asked. The answer can be found on ESPN this Sunday at 3:30 p.m. The NFL Draft will be aired for all to see at this time. If you want pure unadulterated entertainment, there’s nothing like a six-pack, chips, and six hours of the first round to quench your desires. Mel Kiper will predict and analyze the future prospects of America’s numero uno sport: football. Tune in and enjoy life. Pion is spelled like lion but IHxmounced like pee-on.
