In Seinfeld, Kramer says:

“I’m on First and First. How can the same street intersect with itself? I must be at the nexus of the universe!”

And on Sunday, just a couple blocks away from the nexus of the universe you will find the headquarter for both the NYC Minnesota Vikings and New Orleans Saints fans at Bar None. Only the bathrooms separate the “Purple People Eaters” from the “Who Dat’s.” (Vikes in the front, Saints in the back) I could only imagine a dream situation where these two fan bases replicate a fight in the restrooms similar to “The Warriors” and “The Punks. ”

Unfortunately for me, the heads of the Vikings and Saints fan bases got together and settled it in a civil way.

“Participants agreed to separate game-day entrances (front for Vikings, back for Saints) and postgame shots (purchased for the losers by the winners).”

For the team that wins, please beat the Colts or Jets in the Super Bowl.

Stephon Marbury, the once self-described “best point guard in the NBA”, has decided to leave the country and lace up his $15 dollar sneakers for a pro basketball team in China. Shanxi announced it was bringing in the disgruntled former Knick on Monday, reportedly for the miniscule salary of $ 25,000 dollars a month — quite a big cut from the $20m he made in his final year with the NBA.

Does Starbury know what he’s getting into with living in China? As much as I like General Tso’s chicken, there’s a real difference between Chinese-American food and the authentic Chinese version. It’s not like you can just order take out everynight and expect the Chinese delivery guy to be at your doorstep in 15 minutes like you can in NYC. Then again, I bet the chicken’s feet taste better there.

Don’t ask Michael Jordan dumb questions. If you didn’t know that by now, this segment with Jay Leno should prove it to you. “Are you stupid?”

For the love of all things sacred in life. With most people today running around with an iPod or iPhone, one would guess that most would know who Steve Jobs is. But that is not the case in the UK. A survey conducted showed that 20% thought the founder of Apple was a soccer player while 10% thought Jobs was a trade Union leader.

Luckily they didn’t ask them about Steve Wozniak.

From the Detroit Free Press: “Today, the Americans took the gloves off and delivered a backhanded rap across the chops when they called Swiss skipper Brad Butterworth a liar.”

Why would you take the gloves off and call someone a liar? Aren’t you better off keeping the gloves on and slapping a bitch?

I don’t even know what Baron Davis is trying to promote here, if anything? Is it the shoes? But whatever the case here is video of “Boom Dizzle”dribbling the streets of NYC and meeting up with the likes of Common, Jim Jones, and Irv Gotti.

Today’s blind item comes from the Daily Mirror and asks:

“Which married Premiership footballer is having an affair with a D-list former reality TV star behind his unsuspecting wife’s back?”

The possibilities for married soccer stars is endless. As is the list of D-list reality stars, but if I had to choose one it would be Chanelle Hayes.

This situation at NBC is a complete mess, but it may seem familiar. Especially if you’re a fan of the NFL.

Who does it better, Ronaldo or David Beckham?
