Pretty good day today in the world of birthdays. It's kind of weird that Roger Staubach and Craig Morton had the same birthday since they once got in a fist fight in the Cowboys locker room. Other names of note are 'Fast Times' hottie Jennifer Leight, Bobby Brown and SNL mainstays Chris Parnell and Tim Meadows. Heres some of Meadows' best work from 'Walk Hard.'
