Well, we've finally gotten under Best's skin
It seems our look-a-like of Neil Best and Uncle Leo from Seinfeld has gotten through to Best as no other insult we've ever hurled his way.
He even did a blog post on the whole thing, putting up a picture of Glauber look-a-like Tom Crean. We wholeheartedly agree that Crean and Glauber are a dead-on match, maybe the scariest look-a-likes on the planet. 
In fact, we are getting closer and closer to a face-to-face meeting with Crean. When I was in Milwaukee for Giants-Packers, I found an Irish pub called "Mo's" for a late-night snack. I noticed a poster in the window of the bar, publicizing Crean's weekly radio show broadcast live from the place every Monday night.
(Crean coaches the men's basketball team at Marquette, which is in Milwaukee.)
I went up to one of the hosts of the bar and told him that I'm often compared to Crean, and he seemed a bit spooked by the resemblance. I told said host to tell Crean that an NFL writer from Newsday who looks just like him was asking for him.
I vow to meet Crean face-to-face at some point this college basketball season. I want to just walk up to him and have him look at me and act as if he's seen a ghost. Or else his long-lost twin brother he never knew he had.
(Editor's note: Best vows to crush me in the January page views, although we're 99.9 percent he will do just that. Our audience here is far more targeted than his, since he gets to post news on the entire world of sports, controversies and personalities, from Don Imus, to Mike Francesa, to Tiger Woods, to Roger Clemens. Nevertheless, we will continue our relentless quest to keep up with him, secure in the knowledge that we are now deep inside his oversized cranium that bears an incredible resemblance to Uncle Leo.)
(Additional editor's note: Best says if he doesn't crush me in the January page views, he's going to ask WFAN's Craig Carton to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge in a Speedo one more time. To which I said that I would walk across the bridge in a Speedo right next to him if I win the battle. So get to it, people. Hit this blog over and over and over again, and have your friends do the same thing. We'll get Newsday's official page views counter Mark La Monica to fudge the numbers, and we'll get the best publicity stunt Newsday has ever seen.)

First let's make sure we all understand: by walking across the bridge in a Speedo do you mean you'll put one on and then think about walking across the bridge, or will you actually do it? I can't help but think about the piece of paper you ever so quickly placed in your mouth to "make good" on your "Eat My Notebook" promise when I read this. Let's get a promise, a guarantee, something more concrete so we don't waste our time... :-)
If Carton will join me, I will do it. There's no issue about digesting a piece of paper here.
here is a look-a-like for you, though not completely sports related....the guy over to the right in the Newsday video talking about his boxer shorts ---------------------------> and dave chappelle as rick james.
