Eli Van Houten or Milhouse Manning?

So apparently I am not alone when I thought starting New York Giant's QB Eli Manning has an uncanny resemblance to The Simpsons' Milhouse Van Houten. I found these side-by-side comparisons online.

I say, pay attention to the following:

Stubby Nose
Bushy Eyebrows
Parted Hair
Overall Dorkiness

Fall Fashion Colors: Why So Serious Fall?

Perusing H and M yesterday, I noticed the over abundance of clothing with purples and greens. I guess these colors are "in".

According to New York Fashion Week, February 1–8, 2008:

"...best described as a season of change, fall ’08 is defined by rich, elegant hues that offer a vibrant selection. New York's fashion designers emphasize cooler blues, greens and purples in the top five tones"

Honestly, only one guy can truly pull this color scheme off (pictured above).

I have to admit - I did buy a collared shirt that has some light purple and green...hahaha...hehee...mwahahaha...lets put a smile on you fall!!!

J.T. O'Sullivan

Sunday's 49er's broadcast mentioned J.T. (the current starting QB for SF) was an UC Davis Alumni??!!

Sure enough, I checked it out and indeed he spent 3 years (00-03) at UC Davis as the starting quarterback. This blows me away since I was there from 99-05 and don't remember his name at all. I have to admit UCD's Division II football didn't really put them in the sports arena spotlight. However, I do remember UC Davis having a kick ass football team.

From Wiki:

"He played quarterback for the University of California, Davis and holds an NCAA Division II record (tie) for touchdown passes in a playoff game with 6, set on November 25, 2000 against Mesa State. He finished his three-year college career with 10,745 passing yards and 94 touchdown passes."

Like whoa. Go Ags!
