Going Where No Donovan Has Gone Before

Easy on the hair Becks, I'm an MVP now.

Landon Donovan was named MLS MVP on Thursday as he led the L.A. Galaxy to the best record in the Western Conference, despite missing a month of the season to play for the U.S. national team. Landon Donovan finally put to rest the debate over who is the better Donovan on the Galaxy, him or goalie Donovan Ricketts. We took a look at some noteworthy achievements from other famous Donovan’s. Donovan McNabb: McNabb’s IHOP commercial ranks slightly above his Campbell’s Chunky Soup ads. We’d like to know what ingredients go into a QB scramble?

Tate Donovan: Donovan’s performance in Love Potion No. 9 is that of legendary status. We bet even Landon would trade in his MVP award for a chance to be tickled by Sandra Bullock.

Donovan Bailey: Bailey owns 2 Olympic gold's for sprinting, but his real achievement is his facebook page. We’re still waiting for Bailey to add us as a friend, but from viewing his photo he seems to be into that whole Venetian blinds film-noir look.

Donovan Corleone: Only his close friend’s call him Donovan, so many of you probably never had the pleasure. But having one of the most famous lines in movie history is pretty cool. Maybe this MLS award will score Landon an invite to the next Corleone wedding?
