With all the excitement in the sports world today many people might get lost with Baseball, the NHL playoffs, NBA playoffs, NFL Europe, Arena Football, and Golf all going on at once, just to name a few. The amusing part about the sports beehive that has been created in the month of April is that a lot of avid sports fans won't be following any of those events Saturday, April 29.

This weekend is all about the NFL Draft, and the void away from football that is created during the dead off-season will be healed for a short time. The drama and the new life the NFL is insurged with every year on draft day is almost as exciting as the real game for a football-starved fan like myself.

Mock drafts and predictions have been going on for weeks and all the tension is aching in my skull. Most all the free agents are picked from and the only thing we have as football fans to look forward to are the June 1 cuts so this weekend is huge.

Will Reggie Bush be a Texan next year? How far will Vince Young fall and will the Packers draft someone to help Brett Farve or will it be AJ Hawk at number 6?

None of these questions are answered until Saturday when the Texans go on the clock and the excitement begins.

Me?

I will be sitting comfortably at home with one hand on the remote, making sure no one even thinks about changing my channel for the next four hours and the other hand will alternate from the bottle Rolling Rock, and the cheap M&M's I bought in the discount line of Target after Easter. I know it sounds sweet, doesn't it?

If you think I'm pathetic in my ways, you're right, but I don't care because I won't be at work or puzzled with why they put locks on 24-hour gas stations like the rest of the world will be. I will be in utter bliss, keeping my eyes glued on the screen and waiting for my Chiefs to pick at number 20.

I will cry for a poor pick or I will laugh in joy for a good pick, knowing how my team will dominate the next year with their nifty new toy (hopefully a defensive end or defensive back).

A few things will be almost certain for this year's draft. I will probably be enthralled with rage and consumed with bliss within a two-hour span. If the Chiefs pick make a good pick at #20 I will know that he will be an intricate part of Kansas City's road to the Super Bowl, something that I would be thrilled with.
