Tedy Bruschi (2)
Tedy Bruschi, allstar linebacker for the New England Patriots and hero to many for his recovery from a stroke following the 2004-2005 season, bears a remarkable resemblance to CHiPs star Erik Estrada.

I think about that every time I see him play. #entertainment

Onion fantasy football
The Onion has a great fantasy football league called Shattered Expectations
You get a chance to win big by picking the biggest losers of the week every week. If you can pick the biggest bunch of disappointments, let-downs, and general losers-of-the-week from our pre-picked pool of underperforming superstars, you win $500. Predict a perfect train wreck of a season - 17 weeks' worth of overpaid fumbles, over-hyped interceptions, and dismal underproduction, and earn $5000. All it takes is a cool, calculated sense of cynicism, a discerning eye for the overrated, and a willingness to trust that sinking feeling in your gut.
It's too late in the season to get anywhere with it at the moment, but I'll definitely be participating next fall. #sports

New housing developments are ugly (6)
Having grown up in an old house, I can appreciate the idea of a brand new house.  However, I can't appreciate the look of new housing developments.  They're ugly.  Butt ugly.  And I'm wondering why more people don't agree with me.  On the one hand, I don't know a single person who drives by one of those 20-McMansions-per-acre developments and says, "Wow, that's beautiful.  I like how you can reach out the window of one house and touch the house next to it."  But on the other hand, these crowded developments wouldn't exist if they weren't financially successful.  People are buying these huge houses and moving into these crowded neighborhoods.  And I just don't get it.  I understand the logic of maximizing the number of houses per square foot and even the number of square feet per house.  What I don't get is the logic of the buyers.  Who wants a huge house with no yard?  Who wants a house that looks exactly like the 47 other houses in the development?  I often don't care much about aesthetics and originality, but come on. #lifestyle
