Scott Feldman: Field Hockey, Skiing and Tennis

Issue date: 5/13/08 Section: Sports
Hey what's up all you loyal Collegian staff and readers, glad your actually tuning in to catch our last articles of the year. Now if my name is familiar to you, you either work for the collegian, have gotten drunk with me at some point, or are truly a die-hard Collegian reader.
Let me explain, I've have been on the staff for over a year now, and I've cut my teeth on the sports that, well, receive very little attention. I've covered Track, Field Hockey, Skiing and Tennis. Some of the sports were more fun to cover than others, but that's ok, I just loved being part of the paper.
After doing this for over a year and only now beginning to learn the finer arts of writing for a paper, I always get to have a good laugh when I see people walk in and wonder if they can start of covering football, or hockey, or basketball. If you're actually interested in writing, come down, but be ready to grind for awhile. (unless your Fleming that is)
Ok now that my rambling intro is over I should admit I really don't know what the hell we are supposed to write in these things, so I'm going to have some fun with this column. Here are 5 opinions/predictions that I believe in completely, yet will never get to write anywhere else. Feel free to disagree.
1. The Marlins will win the World Series this year. I stand by this prediction because it happened in 96, it happened in 02, and it will happen in 08. Just remember where you saw it first.
2. No other team in the last ten years has ever sucked more fun out of a sport than the New England Patriots. Listening to Bill Belichick drone on about how "the other team is a good football team" Or Tom Brady giving all his credit to his teammates or the whole "we gotta stay hungry." nonsense just sickens me. it's like they have a cliché teleprompter hooked up to their mouths. Nothing is worse than watching people who get to play a game for a living act like it's a business,
3. Celtics vs. Lakers finals will happen no matter what. If the NBA has to give the Lakers 50 free throws in game to make it happen, or completely ignore the Celts constant off the ball fouling so be it. There is way too much money and prestige on the line for the league to allow another Spurs-Pistons rugby match to squash all the good will they have built up this season
