I have some idea who Gordon Beckham (left) is. He is currently helping Georgia try to beat Fresno State in the College World Series, was drafted 8th overall by the White Sox  and has no relation to #1 pick Tim Beckham.

I have no idea who Alex from MTV's Two -A-Days is, other than he looks like the type of guy you wouldn't want to see your girlfriend talking to. Strong features, that guy and apparently a big deal among the kids.

Anyway, BLS contributor/resident whippersnapper Nick Friedell says both of these guys look like brothers with their 'Bama bangs.

Since I'm too old to disagree or even know what he's talking about — I stopped watching MTV sometime after Real World Las Vegas, I believe — I'll just nod knowingly and agree with Nick.

Then I'll go read this piece on Gordo and his Georgia team by friend-for-life Jeff Passan.
