The folks at Dolphins blog "Phinsider" came up with this one, which was seen and forwarded by loyal look-a-like man jeffp as well as TRock.
Thanks to both.
It's Miami's rookie quarterback out of Michigan and Quagmire, one of the stars of "Family Guy."
The Dolphins' defensive end (we think) of Dancing With The Stars fame and the Giants' rookie linebacker.
Good work from TRock.
In honor of this weekend's Kentucky Derby, we thought we'd offer you our first glimpse into what Ed McNamara will surely wish he'd thought of first: equine look-a-likes: This year's favorite
"Big Brown" and 1981 Derby and Preakness winner "Pleasant Colony."
Pleasant Colony was trained by one of the most colorful horsemen ever, the lovable Johnny Campo. He was all the rage back then, especially in New York, although he apparently isn't quite the household name any more.
I told Boland I was doing an equine look-a-like, and when I mentioned Campo, he said: "Who?"
These kids today.
In the meantime, check out Eddie Mac's dispatches from Kentucky this week. He knows as much about horse racing as he does about football ... which is a lot.
(In answer to your question: Yes, I have gone off the rails. The draft is over, I've still got the heights, weights, and 40 times of hundreds of drafted players, as well as team-by-team evaluations, swimming in my head. Please indulge me as I attempt to decompress before the start of training camp. Ok, I gotta get outta here before I go Abramson.)
(Rock must be getting jealous of all these mentions of Boland, but he's down in D.C. with the Giants enjoying a day of sunshine and admiring the sights and sounds of our nation's capital, so I don't feel too badly.)
From our upstate NY pal Tony Arnoldine, a truly frightful look-a-like of Jeff Van Gundy and the late actor Vincent Schiavelli.
Oh, my.
It wasn't bad enough that we didn't get the memo about National Look-a-likes-Day, which was last Sunday, now Neil Best is getting into the act.
Pre-draft preparations have caused me to slack off in poking fun at Best, who is back to posting plenty of pics of beautiful women as he seeks to draw page views now that the end of the month is upon us. I will try and pay more attention to these things moving forward.
In the meantime, here's a spot-on call from Stapler: Former Tigers, Dodgers and Mets (among others) pitcher Jose Lima and new Giants' safety Sammy Knight.
This one's from the Star-Ledger. In it, he looks as if he's about to cry. Didn't he just say he wants Joba Chamberlain to start? Doesn't he own the team?
Caption suggestions welcome.
(We once had a Hank Steinbrenner picture that drew a record-setting 15 look-a-like suggestions. Among the look-a-likes: Actors John Lithgow and Ray Liotta, NBA coach George Karl, former Cincinnati Red owner Marge Schott, comedian Bob Newhart and actor Carroll O'Connor of Archie Bunker fame. Funny, but they didn't reference this astonishing list on National Look-a-Likes Day yesterday.)
I must have missed the e-mail, because jeffp tells me that yesterday was National Look-a-likes Day.
Which is absurd, because why in the world would you designate a Sunday as a national day of recognition for a tradition we have embraced on this blog. I just don't get it.
Then again, if you look at this article and the look-a-likes they include, it is pretty obvious that whoever is running the show is not very good at what he or she is doing. There are some atrocious look-a-likes in here. Even jeffp on his worst day is better than some of these.
Ok, if I don't finish my column on Delaware quarterback Joe Flacco, then jeffw is gonna call me on the carpet.
The Bengals' me-first receiver and the "boxer" of Rocky fame and then the "A-Team."
PGA golfer Stephen Ames and comedian Adam Carolla, who co-starred with Jimmy Kimmel in "The Man Show," a program that most married men would never admit to watching. Or at least enjoying. (It was at times hysterical ... yes, dear, it was awful!)
Ticky-tocky-ticky-tocky hoy! hoy! hoy!
(jeffp, this might be your best one yet.)
Forgot to include this one from our upstate NY pal Tony Arnoldine, who offers up a Paul O'Neill/Ted Danson look-a-like. Well done, sir.
jeffp back on his game. The Patriots star linebacker and the former cop from CHiPS.
Bruschi is still playing for the Patriots. Last I checked, Estrada was selling Florida real estate on infomercials at 3 a.m.
(I'm actually up at that hour due to the Glauber sleep disorder that my four brothers and I suffer from, and I see all kinds of infomercial nonsense. The one I really get a kick out of is this guy Kevin Trudeau, who is on a kick to show you how to get your finances in order. I remember a few years back he was pitching a product to improve your memory. And then it was offering tips on getting healthy by using techniques and products doctors won't tell you about.
Just out of curiosity, I decided to Google "Kevin Trudeau" and "fraud" and found many articles that detailed assorted no-no's for ripping off the public.)
The David Letterman band leader and the Daily News' answer to sports media critic Neil Best. Raissman and Best once appeared together on WNBC's Press Box with Jonas Schwartz. I'm sure it was a ratings bonanza.
(UPDATE: Joe M. offers three-way look-a-like by adding in Howie Mandel.)

Holy moly.
Tom Crean isn't even the Indiana coach for a day, and he's already a merchandising king at IU. Introducing, the Crean & Crimson t-shirt, available immediately.
Thanks to Wisconsin State Journal Packers beat guy buddy Jason Wilde for this staggeringly funny look.
Wilde obviously has too much time on his hands now that Brett Favre is done with football, but we're glad to see he's spending his time wisely.
Yes, it's true.
I have accepted the head coaching job at Indiana, and I will address any and all questions at my press conference tomorrow. 
I'm very excited about this opportunity to coach at the place Bobby Knight made famous.
I will be sure to mention look-a-like Bob Glauber in my introductory remarks.
As you know, I am married to the sister of Ravens head coach John Harbaugh and former Colts and Bears quarterback Jim Harbaugh, now the Stanford head coach. In fact, I caught up with John Harbaugh at today's NFL owners meetings in Palm Beach.
Ravens PR director Kevin Byrne spotted me in the crowd, and Harbaugh and I chatted briefly about things. Best of luck to John in his endeavors at Baltimore. I'm sure he'll do a fine job.
In the meantime, I have a speech to write.
See you tomorrow at the podium at IU.
This one from "Mark," who likens the Davidson hoops star to Ivey, one of the greatest poker players in the world. Curry and his Davidson mates continue their incredible run in the tournament today against Kansas.
(Prediction: jeffp will poo-poo this look-a-like. It's not a perfect match, but it's serviceable.)
The Tennessee basketball coach and the New York Post basketball/football writer. Hey, Lenn. Smile, dude.
Another good one from our upstate NY buddy Tony Arnoldine.
The Villanova basketball coach and the former Bucs, Browns, Ravens, Jets, Patriots, Cowboys and Panthers quarterback.
Sounds like a law firm, but it's actually another valued look-a-likes contribution from jeffp. Phil Martelli is the St. Joseph's basketball coach, Lou Lamoriello is the Devils' general manager and occasional coach, and Rod Marinelli is the Lions' head coach. JP had a Martelli-Marinelli straight-up look-a-like, but I thought Lamoriello bridged the gap nicely.
Will be back momentarily with the height, weight and cone-drill speed of a college player you've never heard of.
Many thanks to long-time Look-a-likes supporter Matt E. (no, not Matt Estrella of Spygate fame) for this one of the Yankees' somewhat aggressive baserunner who occasionally drives his spikes into a Tampa Bay Devil Rays infielder in a spring training game and actor Lillard of "Scream" fame. Lillard also appeared in the baseball movie "Summer Catch."
Unlike Phil Hughes, Duncan does not piss me off. And even if he really did piss me off, I would probably never publicly admit it, because he seems to be a fairly intense individual who might not take kindly to criticism.
I did once piss off Lawrence Taylor, however. In training camp in 1987, I did an article on him and wrote that his drinking would eventually lead back to cocaine use. I had to run it by him before the article was published, and he was not very happy about it. But he did not hit me, and I thank him for that. He did resume using cocaine and was eventually suspended, but he appears to be clean and sober now, and for that, I am happy.
Look, I'm just trying to make an honest living covering the NFL, typing up blog posts, and beating my brains out trying to beat Neil Best in our monthly page views war.
But I was just referred to Phil Hughes' blog and realize that my life - mostly my blogging life - is something akin to Sisyphus pushing the rock up the mountain, only to see it roll back down.
I don't know what Hughes' page views totals are, but I can see by the number of comments he draws from breathless Yankees fans that it's light years ahead of our friendly little Newsday blogs that Best and I do.
Sigh.
In the meantime, we bring you a look-a-likes from our upstate New York blog pal Tony Arnoldine of Yankees rookie pitcher Ian Kennedy and Alfred E. Neuman of MAD Magazine. Arnoldine got the Kennedy pic from Hughes' blog. Apparently the two pitchers are pretty tight.
(I don't know if there even is a MAD Magazine any more, but I do know that Best and I could walk into the local stationary store back in the day and pick one up. It was a hit back then, when a Snickers bar cost a dime.)
In honor of the Big East Tournament, we bring you the West Virginia coach and the famous actor. Thanks to jeffp and Joe M., who collaborated on this one.
.
My man Tom Crean shook off a regular season-ending loss to Syracuse to lead Marquette to a win over Seton Hall last night in the first round of the Big East Tournament.
Up next: Notre Dame tonight at the Garden. As my man Stapler tells me, the Fighting Irish love the 3-point shot, so Tommy C.'s boys will have to play solid defense on the perimeter to continue on in the tournament.
And if you're keeping score at home, Crean is 5-2 since our meeting a few weeks ago in the world's most famous arena.
We love to have fun with look-a-likes on this blog - in real life, too - but here's a story where a guy used his looks to fool plenty of folks and sit with soccer royalty at a recent game.
Apparently a Nicholas Cage look-a-like pulled it off so well that he was presented with a personalized Nicholas Cage team jersey and sat with Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon for a match.
Classic stuff.
... Dangit! I KNEW I should have just walked into the Marquette basketball team's locker room and started acting like I really was Tom Crean.
I must admit I feel a little squeamish about this one, what with Spitzer's recent "issues" and today's resignation. Bill Cowher certainly doesn't deserve to be lumped in with this mess. And the last thing I want to do is annoy Cowher or Steelers fans. But after "Ryan" sent us this look-a-like suggestion, and then none other than Black N Gold seconded the motion this morning, I'll go ahead and post it.
Coach C., please forgive me.
jeffp concurs with our take that Blunt looks a bit like Mike Bossy. Judge for yourself.
Bossy was quite an athlete to cover, especially for a young reporter just getting into the business. I cherish my days covering the Islanders back in their glory days, and Bossy was one of the most thoughtful athletes of his time. He also had a hell of a shot. A Bossy one-timer from Trottier was a thing of beauty.
I decided to take down the Aaron Rodgers-Scott Stapp look-a-likes post, although not because of anything Joe M. did wrong in suggesting it.
When I came across a news item that Stapp had once been arrested for domestic assault, I felt it inappropriate to put him into our look-a-likes directory. I just got done writing how I abhor such acts, so once I realized Stapp had been arrested last year in Florida on a charge related to domestic violence, out he goes.
The weekly highlights show for Big East basketball will feature none other than Marquette coach Tom Crean and yours truly at our legendary meeting a couple weeks ago at the Garden, where we both looked at one another and realized we were separated at birth.
It's on MSG at 5:30 p.m. today, according to Sam Albano, producer/director/editor and one of Best's buddies from his St. John's days. Oh, and in case you're wondering, Sam is no relation to the former wrestling manager, Lou Albano.
And in case you haven't read this blog in, oh, say the last five minutes, Crean is 4-1 since we met, his only loss a painful overtime defeat at home to Georgetown. The Golden Eagles had a chance to close it out in regulation, but a foul on a three-point try allowed G'town to send the game into OT.
We are fully expecting a rematch in the Big East tournament.
Go get 'em, coach Crean.
(UPDATE: The show is now running on ESPNU at 6:30 p.m. tonight and will re-air on MSG at 6:30 a.m.)
Marquette coach Tom Crean's Golden Eagles got off the mat after losing a heartbreaker in OT to Georgetown at home by pounding Florida Gulf Coast last night, 67-37. He's 4-1 since we looked in the mirror at one another at the Garden two weeks ago before the St. John's game.
One more regular season game - at Syracuse on Saturday against Giants.com writer Michael Eisen's beloved Orangemen - before next week's Big East Tournament.
Aside from the fact that she's one of our most loyal readers and commenters, the other thing we like about NKR is that she actually digs out the look-a-likes for us. Many thanks!
We've got some more from her way later on, but we'll use this one for now. It's NBC analyst John Madden, who is somewhat famous for his high regard for Brett Favre, and the late comedian John Candy, one of our favorites.
Candy actually has a place in NFL history. During the Bengals-49ers Super Bowl after the 1988 season, San Francisco trailed in the final minutes when Joe Montana trotted onto the field with the offense. In what would have been a nerve-racking situation for just about any athlete, Montana looked around the stadium and said to his teammates, "Hey, look, there's John Candy."
As a special bonus just for clicking our way, here's "Madden" in a recent appearance on Late Night With David Letterman. He talks about his admiration for Favre in this clip.
It's Hank Steinbrenner, son of George, basher of Red Sox fans, and one of the most compelling look-a-likes subjects we've ever come across. I can't quite pin down who some look-a-likes would be for this photo, so I need some help. Any and all suggestions will be considered.
(Garafolo, that was brilliant. Actor Troy Evans. Wow.)

Marquette basketball coach Tom Crean hosts Georgetown in a huge Big East game today in Milwaukee. As you know, Crean could pass for my brother, and we had a great time visiting with him a couple weeks ago in NYC before his game against St. John's.
Crean is 3-0 since that meeting. A win over the Hoyas, and we'll start to believe that there really is some karma going on.
A stroke of genius from JeffP, who is back on his game after some questionable calls. Brilliant.
Oscar winner Bardem - chosen for best supporting actor in "No Country for Old Men," and former NHL star defenseman Chris Chelios. We're fairly certain that Chelios would not have delivered nearly as compassionate and thoughtful an acceptance speech as Bardem, who sat with his mom and thanked her in Spanish. Chelios was not one to be shy with his stick and fists.
... not to meet with newly discovered look-a-like Eric Deskin, an actor/comedian whom we're about to vault into the Dane Cook stratosphere of fame because of his resemblance to our fave Newsday blogger. 
Here's Deskin's upcoming schedule of gigs, according to his Myspace page. You should pummel Best in his blog and shame into meeting up with this fine gentleman.

The Marquette basketball coach, who looks more like my brother than any of my four actual brothers, has won two games since our meeting at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday.
Marquette routed Rutgers yesterday, 78-48, after beating St. John's 73-64 on Wednesday at the Garden.
Here's the rest of the Golden Eagles' regular season schedule:
Mon. Feb. 25 7:00 p.m. ET at Villanova
Sat. Mar. 01 2:00 p.m. ET Georgetown
Tue. Mar. 04 8:00 p.m. ET Florida Gulf Coast
Sat. Mar. 08 4:00 p.m. ET at Syracuse
We wish nothing but the best for Mr. Crean the rest of the way.
...
btw, now that we've established Best has a twin, actor/comedian Eric Deskin, can someone please let me know if Mr. Deskin is famous for something other than being Best's look-a-like?
Incidentally, Best has written an interesting piece on the 100-year anniversary of "Take Me Out To The Ball Game." Please read it.
...
BREAKING NEWS FROM THE SCOUTING COMBINE: Notre Dame defensive end Trevor Laws measured in at a height of 6-foot-3 3/4 and a weight of 304 pounds.
And this: Clemson guard Christopher McDuffie completed 29 reps on the 225-pound bench press.
Here's Best-Uncle Leo:
You want to get under Best's skin, then tell him he looks just like "Uncle Leo" on Seinfeld. He adamantly refuses to believe it.
But one of Best's colleagues on the Giants' beat - Paul Schwartz of the Post - has come up with a can't-miss look-a-like for Best. It's an actor/comic named Eric Deskin, a man we've never heard of before, but someone who had better be poised for a run at fame and fortune. Because once Best sees this, he will do as we did with Tom Crean, seek out his look-a-like and do a Newsday.com video for all the world to see.
(Best, you cannot possibly dispute the resemblance here. No way. If you do, I will have Mrs. Watchdog decide the matter once and for all.)
Ok, now this is creepy. Fun, but creepy.
Here's my long-awaited visit with Marquette basketball coach Tom Crean, who was gracious enough to allow us into the team's walkthrough yesterday before a game against St. John's at the Garden.
Many thanks to coach Crean, who will hopefully go a long, long way in the upcoming NCAA Tournament. And thanks to Katie Strang for indulging our self-indulgence with our look-a-like fascination.
As it turns out, Crean and Katie are from the same area in Michigan, so even she had a nice time chatting with Glauber ... I mean, Crean.
