Rapper Drake and Rio Ferdinand talk Music and Football

Pretty interesting to hear a Rapper and a Footballer talk about how their jobs are similar. Drake is the Canadian Rapper who's first studio album Thank Me Later was a huge success last year recently toured the UK and made a stop in Manchester to visit United's facilities. Rio made sure to take in a show during the tour and of course got backstage access. "Sports and music are so synonymous. Cause we want to be them and they want to be us." - Drake

Want to Be Like Kobe?

I remember the 'Be Like Mike' campaign way back when. Maybe I'm dating myself by admitting that, but it sure did compel me to get into NBA basketball.

Now, we're going to try something similar in order to bring in anyone who isn't yet a soccer fan.

Check out who is a soccer fan. If you guessed it by the title of this blog, then color yourself clever.

WARNING: Kobe playing soccer is about as pretty as MJ playing, yup, baseball. Anyone remember that horror?

Well, Kobe claims he got into soccer (and FC Barcelona) watching Ronaldinho, but I believe it's an homage to his new 7-foot teammate, Pao Gasol, who helped Bryant and his Lakers reach the NBA Finals last season, and who happens to have been born and bred in, yeah, Barcelona.

So, whatever your motivation, whether it's Kobe, Ronaldinho or even Pao Gasol, we hope you buy some FC Barcelona Jerseys or the

Will Ferrell Shows the Blues Some Love

On Tuesday Night, while hocking his new movie, Step Brothers, Will Ferrell was sporting a 2003-2004 Chelsea Home Jersey on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart. By the way, Jon Stewart is no stranger to the game either. But Will Ferrell is listed on Chelsea's website as being a celebrity fan so I guess it should come as no surprise that he's a fan of the game. Not to mention the movie Kicking and Screaming, in which he plays a Soccer Dad who is forced to fill in as coach for his son's team of misfits. Charming, I know. Anyway, enjoy the clip from Comedy Central...

Rivers Cuomo of Weezer, another Celebrity Supporter

With Weezer's release of the Red Album, Rivers Cuomo has cemented his spot among Rock and Roll's super stars. But in this video for "Lover in the Snow" from Rivers' solo album Alone: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo, we get a much more intimate look at the usually very quirky Cuomo. He shares his passion for the beautiful game and more specifically the U.S. soccer scene.

Kevin Garnett, Chelsea Supporter?

Kevin Garnett seemed pretty excited about receiving his customized Chelsea Home Jersey. Apparently Garnett is a big supporter of the Beautiful Game, despite not hearing back from Drogba after he wished him luck before the Champions League Final (maybe it had something to do with Chelsea losing). Or perhaps this is Drogba's way of saying thanks. After all, Didier is no stranger to Chelsea's Club Shop.
