    A photo of Tom "Hockey Puck" McKenna, Daily News statman and Archbishop
Carroll assistant, sleeping under a Lion King bedspread . . . PRICELESS!!

    This photo was taken several years ago. Puck had to be at Washington Twp. HS very early
on a Saturday morning for an AAU tournament, so I said he could stay at my house.
On the way home, we were listening to a Sixers' playoff game. When we arrived, Puck
was saying, "Hurry up. I want to see the end of the game." As we walked in, just one
light was on and it was kind of dark. Meaning the remote, Puck said, "Where's the thing?"
I told him, "Right there on the coffee table." He picked it up and began pushing
buttons. Nothing was happening. He was trying so hard to get the TV on, he was
grunting. "Ugh, ugh." He was pushing the buttons like crazy, aiming the thing at the TV
at every possible angle. Nothing. Finally, he yelled at me, "This frickin' thing don't work!!"
I told him, "No kidding, goofball. It's a calculator."
