What about Bob?

The Jets' rookie quarterback and the actor, appearing in a scene here from "Transformers."

Brilliant work by Tom P., who knocked us (deservedly so) for some other futile attempts at a Sanchez look-a-like. Well done, sir.

(Sanchez photo from Topnews.in; Rodriguez photo from transformers.moviechronicles.com).

The Yankees' pitcher and the Jets' quarterback, both of whom are competing to find work as starters for their respective teams.

A pretty decent call here from former Jets' beat writer Tom Rock, who now covers the Giants and is moonlighting this week on the Yankees' beat as Boland gets a breather after slogging through the U.S. Open at Bethpage Black.

The golfer-turned-NBC golf analyst and the former Seahawks and Packers head coach.

Speaking of Maltbie, check out Neil Best's column on the increasingly popular announcer from today's paper. It's part of Newdsay's ridonkulous coverage of the goings-on at Bethpage Black.

Holmgren has also been linked to golfer Craig Stadler.

The Newsday writer/blogger and the former New York City mayor and Presidential candidate. Interesting call here. It was suggested by a reader named "John H" from this post that showed Best standing inside the shell of the new Giants/Jets stadium.
I'm sure Best would be aghast to be compared to a man with polar opposite political views. Then again, it beats being compared to Uncle Leo of Seinfeld.

The Yankees' newly acquired pitcher (sorry for the older Brewers uniform) and the former American Idol star.

Wow.

Terrific job by our own "Poppy," winner of the inagural Glauber Nation Playoff Picks contest two years ago.

The Jets' running back and the late-night talk show host.

Brilliant call by Cimini. Just brilliant.

The Jets' QB and Kelly Ripa''s hubby.

This one comes to us from our upstate blogging buddy Tony Arnoldine, who got it from friend and former "CortSide" broadcast partner, Stuart Millstein, who is now employed by CBS Sports.

The Jets' new quarterback and the cast member from Entourage.

Memo to La Monica: We realize we're in dangerous territory here, being that you're an Entourage freak/blogger, but we're giving this a shot.

(Associated Press photo on Sanchez. Examiner.com photo on Grenier.)

Mets reliever Sean Green and actor Tom Everett Scott.

This one's from our buddy Tony Arnoldine, by way of his buddy Bill Lawrence, a Long Island native who hung out at the bars ... I mean, in the classroom ... with Tony A. up at Cortland State, new home of the Jets' training camp.

Tony A. will fill you in on some Cortland stuff as it relates to the Jets a few posts from now.

In the meantime, hope you enjoy this one. We had to save Tony from himself (and a rip job from noted look-a-likes critic "jeffp") on a previous submission.

The Vikings' head coach, the former New York City mayor, and the MSN business columnist, who writes today about why it's best to be skeptical of the stock market for now.

The newly hired hoops coach at Kentucky and the legendary actor.

"You talkin' to me?"

It's actually quite clever and quite creative, but disturbing nonetheless.

From Tim R. via The Sports Hernia.

The Rangers' new coach and the actor ...

... Spreaking of the Rangers, it dawned on me over the weekend as I had a chance to actually enjoy the great sport of hockey how lucky we are in the New York area (and for those around the world with satellite capability) to have such fine hockey announcers. Is there a better collective group of pucksters than Sam Rosen (Rangers), Mike Emrick (Devils) and Howie Rose (Islanders)? I think not.

(Full disclosure: I know all three men personally ... Emrick a little less than Rosen and Rose ... but I would never say anything about them I didn't mean ... The Rangers are owned by Cablevision, which owns Newsday. Islanders broadcasts appear on MSG Plus, which is owned by Cablevision, which owns Newsday ... fortunately in my role as NFL columnist, I am not forced to repeat those disclaimers often. However, as an avowed hockey enthusiast, there are occasions I must.)

Poppy pointed this one out a few weeks ago while we were at the Super Bowl, but we didn't have the time to get to it back then. We were in the midst of writing 30,000 words about the Steelers and Cardinals.

Better late than never.

Not only do both men bear a resemblance, but both seem to have some issues with anger management.

Great call to Poppy, the first ever Glauber Nation Playoff Picks Contest winner.

And yes, Richie G (Oregon), we lifted your "Dude!!" line from the comment contest a couple weeks back. We will consider a revisision to a gold medal for you.

Oh, my goodness. Mantz tipped us off to this one on the Sports Hernia. It is priceless, especially with the Westminster Kennel Club confab this week at the Garden.

The DePaul basketball coach and Tom Hanks' sidekick in the movie, Turner & Hooch.

Well done.

The Giants' kicker and the most famous plumber in the history of United States politics.

(Thanks to Joe M.'s mother for this one, an indication that coming up with great look-a-likes is clearly an inherited gift. Well done, Mrs. M.)

The brother of Rex Ryan and soon-to-be Browns defensive coordinator under Eric Mangini, and the actor Jeff Bridges, who played the lead role in "The Big Lebowski."

Many thanks to T-Rock for this one. Well played, young man.

The Ravens' defensive coordinator (and possibly the Jets' next head coach) and the comedian from the "Blue Collar Tour" (who is hysterical). The great thing about this one is that Ryan would undoubtedly get a huge kick out of being likened to the cigar-smoking, Jack Daniels-swilling comic.

Brilliant call by "Crazy Eddie," who graces us with his presence when he's not adding to Boland's page views.

(Ryan photo from Baltimore Sun. White photo from Giggles Comedy Club)

The Giants cornerback and the legendary boxer.

This really is a brilliant call by Jeffp, although the picture of Webster doesn't justify just how good it is. If you see Webster in person, he is a younger version of Patterson.

btw, James Butler got a kick out of our look-a-like of him and rapper Akon.

The brains behind the ever-popular TheJetsBlog.com and the outspoken film maker who first came onto the scene with the documentary "Roger & Me." Not sure if Bassett's politics are anywhere close to the left-leaning Moore, but he does a Boland-esque job of covering the Jets. He even got a credential this year!!

The WPIX youngster who is making a name for himself in the TV biz, and the cranky veteran reporter for the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel who used to imitate Marv Albert in the room we shared growing up in White Plains, NY.

Actually, Matt looks much more like Bill G.'s oldest son, John, who will soon be building bridges and skyscrapers once he graduates from the University of Illinois with a degree in engineering.

This is really creepy. Almost as creepy as looking in the mirror and seeing Tom Crean.

Matt Estreich of WPIX Channel 11, covers the Giants and wrote about Brandon Jacobs in his latest blog post. I will be writing about Jacobs for tomorrow's newspaper, and will have some spiffy new information on his situation. Look for it!

Matt is a former Tribune teammate (Newsday was recently purchased by Cablevision.) My brother used to be a Tribune teammate, but he left the Chicago Tribune for the Milwaukee-Journal Sentinel a while back. As most of you who read this blog know, Bill Glauber is the real journalist in the family, covering wars and politics and such.

Matt needs to get his picture on Google Images so I can do a proper look-a-like. And Bill needs to get a picture on Google where you don't have to use a microscope to see him.

... btw, while trolling for a picture of Bill, I came across this snippet from a column he wrote for the Journal-Sentinel about what Brett F. might face when he got to the Jets:

"The Jets are always playing the second bill at the Meadowlands, in a stadium surrounded by a parking lot located off the New Jersey Turnpike. (We're not in Ashwaubenon, anymore. People don't tailgate there for fun. They tailgate because there is nowhere else to go.) ...

"Leering, jeering, Jets' fans, who travel miles and miles of clogged interstates, who go over travel routes like coaches going over game plans, all for the privilege of watching a team they know will break their hearts ...

" Now, Favre is a Jet, number 4 in green and white.
Not the new Namath. Just Brett from Green Bay.
Wish him well as he enters his final act.
It will end in tears."

The rapper and the Giants' free safety.

Great call on this from Jenny Vrentas of the Newark Star-Ledger.

I can't believe I didn't see this one right off the bat. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that I'd never heard of Mr. Akon before Ms. Vrentas brought him up.

The Giants' backup quarterback, and the blogger from a picture taken 10 years ago.

Hopefully, it is a lot closer than the look-a-like Mantz offered up of yours truly and actor Steve Gutenberg.

Yo, Mantz, what's with the suspenders? And dude, what is this web page all about? Was this before or after the arrest for Internet fraud? (I say that with tongue planted firmly in cheek ... or so you hope.)

No, not Judy Battista, she of New York Times football writing fame. It's the wrestler, Batista, who has quite the physique, and our own Mark La Monica, who now has another reason to credit for surviving last night's horrifying accident on the Southern State Parkway.

Thanks to Sandy for this one. Of course, there is only a facial resemblance here, since La Monica doesn't do much in terms of weightlifting - or whatever else it is that Batista does to produce a freakish body like that.

The Bears quarterback and the comedian. A very nice call from T-Rock himself. If I'm not mistaken, that's his first Glauber Nation look-a-like contribution. Well done, sir. Nice working alongside you today at the FedEx Field press box.

Green once appeared on a late-night talk show (I'm thinking Jay Leno) and got drunk on national television. It was ... um ... interesting, if not a bit disturbing. I would say both gentlemen look as if they've had a bit too much to drink in these pix.

Even Baumbach is getting into the Look-a-likes craze made famous our little corner of the blogosphere. The Wizards' interim coach and New York's interim governor. Well played.

Another gem from Joe M. The former Steelers' coach and the former pro wrestler, a personal fave when we loved nothing more than to plop down in front of the tube and watch some ridiculous WWF action.

Wow, this is a really good one from our upstate NY buddy Tony Arnoldine, whose blog is on a par with our central NJ buddy Bob Mantz, who now picks every NFL game and offers up power rankings based on some cockamamie formula that only he and Islander505 can comprehend.

Mantz is getting into the look-a-likes business himself. His latest entry: Chris Russo and some Microsoft X-Box dude named "Lips."

The Phillies' ace who is riding high off a World Series MVP win, and the actor who played the titular role in the 2006 movie, "Superman Returns."

Thanks to Dennis T for this one. Well done. (I think there's a little Jim Carey in Hamels, but we'll allow this one to stand.)

Now, for the good news. This look-a-like will lead to a future post of someone who will take some of the edge off many our readers' unpopular reaction to the posting of a shirtless Jeremy Shockey. I will only post said picture when someone figures out why it's related to this look-a-like.

jeffp offered up Kenny, the ESPN announcer, and legendary and controversial actor Gibson. When we searched, we came upon an ESPN radio site from Chicago that did all the work for us. And added in Alan Thicke for good measure.

Wow.

Ok, it's Saturday afternoon, I've still got to write something for tomorrow's newspaper, and Chicago Norm's head is gonna explode if I don't file it soon. The Final Score blogger also doubles as the Sunday editor, so he should know full well about the addictive nature of blogging and how you really can't function like a normal person any longer. Best knows this, too, although he has managed to sneak in six straight days of blog-free existence.

I guarantee you he still has the DT's.

UPDATE: Here's the thing with blogging. About 15 minutes ago, I went into my Newsday e-mail to fish out some stuff for a column I'm writing about the Eagles for tomorrow's paper. After lgging in, I see that jeffp has sent some stories about the disintegrating economy, which depresses me to the point where I go to another screen and check my blog to see if anyone else has written in any comments. I notice that jeffp himself has offered up the Kenny-Gibson look-a-like. So, naturally, I investigate, approve its blog-worthiness, and compose this post ... I have yet to fish out the information from the column. I will attempt to do so now, but there are no guarantees ... I will say this about blogging: No matter what is going on in the world, you forget everything except what your are blogging about ... and what you expect Islander505 or Black N Gold's or BBiB!'s response might be to what you're writing. It's all so absurd.)

Ok, I think this has to qualify as one of the all-timers. Even jeffp has to appreciate the savant qualities of this call. The Broncos quarterback and the actor who plays "Jake" on "Two And A Half Men."

Oh, my goodness, JoeM. You are now a member of the Glauber Nation Hall of Fame.

(Please don't tell Boland about this one. He's upset enough that Cutler has driven yet another stake into his heart after last night's comeback win over his Beloved Brownies.)

btw, who names their kid Angus?

The late comedian (one of our faves of all time) and the former Raiders' coach in his younger days.

Thanks for JoeM on this one. Excellent.

The Rays' pitcher and the world famous poker player. Thanks to Joe M. for this one. Joe reports friends also saw some Tim Duncan and ESPN football reporter Michael Smith, which would result in a rare four-way. But I'll stick with Joe's original call. A bit of a leap with the last two.

Please indulge me on this one, because look-a-likes freak jeffp has been after me for months to do this one. I see a slight resemblance, but nothing that would drive a man to continually push for this to reach the blogosphere. But jeffp has been good to us, so I will grant his request.

The former Mets' player and manager, and the former Paul Simon sidekick.

Ok, that's enough. After 2,000 words of blogging today, I think it's time I pay a little more attention to the 3,000 words I need to write for Sunday's newspaper. Go read Neil Best.

I realize this might not pass the Jeffp sniff test in terms of dead-on accuracy, but I appreciate the effort of Dennis T. in his look-a-likes suggestion debut. It's the New York Post columnist Mike Vaccaro and admitted Glauber Nation member and the NBC political commentator, who is somewhat busy these days what with the Presidential election less than a month away.

Side note on Vaccaro: He is one of the most gentlemanly members of our profession (an Al Arbour of sorts), but he invariably ticks me off whenever I see him due to the brilliance of his prose and the speed with which he produces it. That is just not fair.

Vaccaro:

And Todd:

Joe M. hits a homerun on this one.

The Dolphins' loquacious linebacker and the equally loquacious rapper.

A few minutes after the Giants beat the Seahawks 44-6, Giants center Shaun O'Hara was asked if fellow offensive lineman Kareem McKenzie was ok. McKenzie had suffered a concussion during the game and did not return.

O'Hara reported that McKenzie was fine.

"I called him Uncle Phil, because he looks like Judge Phil Banks from Fresh Prince [of Bel Air]," O'Hara said. "He gave me the finger, so I knew he was ok."

The Raiders' interim head coach and the actor from Roseanne.

The USC coach and the legendary composer. (In my youth, his then-wife, Angie Dickinson, was one of THE hottest women on the planet.)

Thanks to Sandy for this one. I think Bacharach invites a Carroll-John Kerry combo call, but I'll go with Carroll straight up in honor of your contributions. Well played.

The Republican vice presidential candidate and the actress who will imitate her on tonight's Saturday Night Live.

The sports connection here? Well, let's see ... uh ... hmmm ... ok, we've got it:

Palin is from Alaska ... Best once worked in Alaska ... Chilkoot and Best hung out in Alaska - at Chilkoot Charlie's ... Best used to cover football and now covers sports media ... Chilkoot is a Chargers fan and a card-carrying member of Glauber Nation ... and he asked a question on yesterday's live chat ... which, by the way, was a very good one thanks to all the fine questions put forth. I saw that BBiB! was left hanging in the questions box. We won't let that happen again.

I got to thinking about this while reading Gil Brandt's interesting piece on whether some NFL team should take a chance at turning Usain Bolt into a wide receiver.

If you were to do a look-a-like of Bolt and another NFL player, whom would it be?

The Packers general manager who might forever be known as the man who traded Brett Favre and a member of "Talking Heads" fame.

Thanks to loyal blog reader and noted look-a-likes aficianado "jujubee" for this one. My sense is that "jujubee" about spit out her coffee when she spotted this one. Not sure Mr. Thompson would be as enthusiastic, but I'm sure he'd play along.

Memo to Staple: No, I do not have any "Talking Heads" songs on my iPod.

You probably have to be as old as Best to appreciate this one, but it's the Red Sox slugger David Ortiz and the star of the 70's sitcom "Good Times."

Many thanks to jeffp for uncovering this gem as part of a link he sent us called sportscracklepop.com

Thanks to Andrew for suggesting this one in response to the Favre-Beckham attempt in a previous post. It's the Phillies outfielder (who used to play for the Brewers). Andrew tells us Jenkins has often been mistaken for Favre and has occasionally scored some free beers as a result.

This is scary good, Andrew. Well done.

I admit I may be stretching things here (I'm sure jeffp will let me know if that is indeed the case). And maybe it's the crew cuts and scruffy beards. But they pass the litmus test of look-a-likes: Many times when I look at Favre, especially in person, he looks like the great soccer player.

The Giants' championship quarterback, and the Olympic champion swimmer display their respective spoils of victory.

(jeffp, you have to admit this one works.)
