Xpose Girls Try Sports Reporting, and Diddy

In the dark, black and white days of newspapers, I used to spend an inordinate amount of time with the Newark Star-Ledger’s sports section. There was one page in particular that always worth reading – Summing Up Sports. Here you’d get the league tables, schedules and the latest results from every important sport in the world. New Jersey is very conscious of its immigrant population and even before Rupert Murdoch invented English football, I would stare at the tables of the world's major football leagues and try to understand it all.

There were three or four English teams that used to interest me simply because of their strange name: Wimbledon (their tennis connotations), Sheffield Wednesday, (what happened on Sheffield Thursday?), Nottingham Forest (merry men) and finally, and most poignantly, Crystal Palace. Knowing nothing about London, there was something so evocative about that name. Something opulent, sure, but equally it didn’t really seem like a proper name for a sports team and maybe that explained why they were never too high on those tables I used to read.

So it is any surprise that another, richer American with little knowledge of football has designs on Palace? Sean Puff Daddy P-Diddy Diddy Runs The City Combs is reportedly about to invest in the Eagles. He either thinks it's a former residence of Princess Diana or some opulent pimp cup.

Either way, the Xpose girls are on the case, so we should get to the bottom of this in a few years. Their headline "P.Diddy buys UK soccer team" is probably a surprise to all involved. Stick to covering Brown Thomas sales, ladies
