Jerry From Queens

Sports talk radio host Steve Somers had a little help from a high-profile cohost, Jerry (from Queens) Seinfeld, when he kicked off his new 8 p.m.-to-midnight gig on New York's WFAN on June 1. Here's Seinfeld on sports.

?Hockey: "I don't think there is a puck.... These guys are just skating around, and they turn the light on and everybody puts their arms in the air, and they celebrate nothing."

?Hockey uniforms: "Why the shorts? Why shorts? It's a winter game. Shorts—huge shorts."

?Sports radio: "This is like a gay community, where all these people who have been rejected from traditional society can finally congregate together."

?Sports news: "I enjoy the phenomenon of guys wanting to read about games and see highlights of games that they watched.... Sports reporting is really the opposite of everything else in the newspaper. You can't wait to hear more about what you already know about, so that you can go, 'Yep, I saw that.' "

?Former Met Rickey Henderson: "I like Rickey. Rickey Henderson did not give a damn, and I like that."
