Pincus was suggested by... this list of The 100 Most Influential Jews of All Time. A few bones to pick with this list, but... whatever.

An astute reader might have noticed a new category that popped up recently: Religious Figures. Here you will find a bunch of Biblical profiles and as well as some wacky characters previously listed in [Uncategorized].

It's amazing about reading these turn-of-the-century anarchists: Jew, Jew, Jew, Jew. Well, except for Czolgosz. No wonder he wasn't accepted...

I'm BACK, baby! Oh right, no one cares. Anyway, Charlotte was suggested by Cristela from Lima, Peru (two in a row for her!). Thanks Cristela, and please send our best to Paddington Bear.

Another one long time coming... Curtis from Arizona requested a Rugrats profile in February of 2009. Will from California and Cristla from Peru (we have fans in Peru!) have asked for it since.

JONJ on Egotastic!



So, yesterday we got an email from Egotastic.com. What's Egotastic.com, you ask? Well, we had no idea. Apparently, it's a hugely popular site (top 600 in the US, top 1000 in the world). So we clicked. Oh, did we ever. Be careful: it's Not Safe For Work. But somewhat tasteful. We'll leave it at that.

So what did Egotastic want to do with us? Well, they wanted our expertise on this, one of the holiest days of the Jewish calendar. And expertise we provided. Because we can't say no to porn we're such media whores hogs...

So here it is, in all its glory.

Just like last year, we go with a NFL profile for opening day. And just like last year, Not a Jew. Hmmm. Do we have any Jewish NFLers left to profile? There's Adam Podlesh of the Jaguars, but he is a lowly punter. Other than him... There are a few, but no one of significance. Hmmmm.

Profile: Arnold Rothstein


http://www.jewornotjew.com/profile.jsp?ID=882

Don't worry, dear readers: we expect Yakov back soon. Yes, he is still not in action. Last I heard he was somewhere in New Guinea, explaining the Jewishness of Superman to a tribe of cannibals. Godspeed, Yakov. Godspeed.

Rothstein was suggested by Sofia from Florida and returning suggester Bruce from Cambridge, IL.

Profile: The Spanish


http://www.jewornotjew.com/profile.jsp?ID=881

So, in theory, we can claim 1/5 of the Spanish World Cup-winning team... So that 23 / 5 = 4.6 World Cup champions. Not bad. Not bad at all...

Update: Rosenfels!



Oh how we cry for our once-patron-saint, Sage Rosenfels. A year ago, he was traded to the Vikings, and didn't take a snap behind Brett Favre.

And now, who comes to the rescue? Yakov's own New York Giants! Rosenfels has been traded to New York and will backup Eli Manning. Wait, we have also profiled Eli Manning? Wow, we get around.

Profile: Debi Mazar

A year ago, I wrote the Ari Gold profile in defense of "Entourage". But this season... ugh. Just ugh.

Mazar was suggested by Meghan from Queens and Miriam from Burbank.

Profile: Robert Wuhl

When I told Yakov I'm gonna profile Robert Wuhl, his response was, "sure, but... who cares about Robert Wuhl?" He's got a point.
