Friday Fun!

Friday's are just too precious to waste on the same ol' baseball collecting dribble. After a night where I lost my first Pigskin Pick Em' pick of the season, which is an almost Punxsutawny Phil-like predictor of how the season will go, and my number one fantasy pick Drew Brees was decidedly sub-par, and ALSO a night in which the comeback code at The Show reared it's ugly head ONCE AGAIN...after all of this, I think it's high time we had a little fun around here.

I have always been fascinated with Clayton Kershaw cards. I have been continually amazed at how Kershaw images always appear to be a spitting image of a celebrity. He is quite the chameleon!

Take, for example, potato chip-stained card below (by the way, this image was ripped from eBay, so I have no idea what the seller is thinking...grease stain 1/1?). Regardless, when you compare the 2010 Topps T206 mini Kershaw to... Cutthroat Island's Matthew Modine....

...then you (hopefully) see what I am talking about. No, I don't have an unhealthy fascination with Mr. Modine, although his speed-reading ability in Gross Anatomy and his able abilities to captain a World Cup sailboat in Wind are certainly enviable. BUT, if I did have a fascination with Matt Modine, then explain this...
2008 Topps Allen and Ginter Clayton Kershaw toilet paper mini. Perhaps a spitting image of...


Matt Damon???


Look again, and again, and again, until you agree with me. Something strange is going on here and it is not a fascination with guys named Matt.
Here is where you come in. I present the 2010 Topps Allen and Ginter Clayton Kershaw...



Now I KNOW that his appearance in this card is vastly different than the last two cards. He looks nothing like either Modine or Damon. So I throw out to you, my dedicated readers, this challenge...



WHO does Kershaw look like this year. Click on my email and send me a JPG and I will post them throughout the day. Go with accuracy, go with creativity...just go with it because you know you have Friday apathy and need something to burn a few minutes off the clock
Enjoy your Friday!
