Summer heat BY DUSTIN LAPRAY Sports Columnist

Summer has officially begun. I sweat afternoon sweats. Inside this sports enthusiast lies a craving for gridiron August. For the present, that need is intense. Yet I am deprived of my addiction, like some locked-up junkie. I play Madden because it's as close as I catl get. I search the wire for the oddest National Football League story out there, because it is the only NFL story out there. I watch day baseball and know that those 25- man teams have been working hard since March and the lucky ones will play until November. But I don't re- ally care about baseball yet. I saw the Carolina Panthers win the Stanley Cup and didn't really care; I have this sore spot in my soul where the National Hockey League formerly resided.
