The Jessica Alba of the Red Sox

"We're also not talking about the Jessica Alba of the Red Sox, the player who possesses both the obvious sizeable appeal and the hard-to-define intangibles. When the game is on the line, David Ortiz is everyone's choice."

The Chaz Bono of dictators

"Kim Jong Il’s son is pretty much the Chaz Bono of dictators."

The Dick Cheney of glam rock

"Oh, another health crisis for Bret. Maybe while they're repairing his heart they can pull his head out of his ass. He's quickly becoming the Dick Cheney of glam rock."

The Def Leppard of football

"Q: I don't like the comparison of Alex Smith to Meg White (in your Week 17 column). If you're going to compare Alex to a drummer, I think it's got to be Rick Allen (the guy from Def Leppard with one arm). Came in with a lot of talent. Didn't do a whole lot. Suffered through some bad experiences (multiple bad coaches and coordinators, lost an arm). Then, despite all odds, gained success with the same supporting cast. Not saying I want the Niners to be the Def Leppard of football (I'd prefer Van Halen if we're going hair metal), but the parallels are undeniable. By the way, it's 4:19 a.m. right now, and I'm drunk on Johnnie Walker Black Label (official sponsor of the ESPN Happy Hour, where PTI lets you appear when they're hard-up for subs), which explains why I'm suddenly full of sports knowledge."

The Andrew Luck of the Chosen People

"If my Hebrew School teachers were 6’10″ franchise saviors instead of walking Jewish stereotypes I probably would’ve paid a little more attention and made my parents a little prouder at my Bar Mitzvah.
And no question if Dave Chapelle held his racial draft today Amare is on top of the J-Double-O Big Board. He’d be like the Andrew Luck of the Chosen People."

The Pierce Brosnan of gargoyles

"Duncan came to live in my garden in 2005. He’s a tall elegant Griffin. He is highly intelligent – not street smart, dashingly good looking, arrogant, shrewd, charming, conceited, self-centred, witty not funny and impatient. He is a ceaseless gossip but can be kind and caring to the few whom he deems to be worthy of his attention. He has a soft spot for Arthur but always hedges his bets around Roger. Duncan is thorough, thoughtful, capable of organizing great amounts of information and paying attention to every detail. He is a tireless pursuer of the ladies but not interested in clinging commitments. He never does the dirty work himself, preferring to wash his paws of the mundane. Duncan is to be trusted cautiously, if at all. He will honour a debt. He is definitely the Pierce Brosnan of gargoyles."

The Alec Baldwin of Power Rangers

"'A Pig Surprise' – Pudgy Pig’s second appearance. He’s the most reoccurring guest monster. The Alec Baldwin of Power Rangers."
