Are Jared Allen and Toby Keith the same person?

Former Kansas City Chief Jared Allen leads an active lifestyle.

He sacks quarterbacks. He scores touchdowns. He's sampled the charms of Frank Denning's Bed and Breakfast.

From our sister paper in Minneapolis, we learned last year that Allen supports Republicans who prefer a take-it-to-'em approach to foreign policy.

And, now from Deadspin, we learn that Allen likes to wear big belt buckles and sing.

In other words, he's Toby Keith.

P.S. Keith reportedly registered as an independent in 2008, saying the Democratic Party had "allowed all the kooks in."

I'm happy you got me looking into Toby Keith a little more closely, David. Interesting read here: http://www.freerepublic.com/fo...

He's a more interesting person than I ever gave him credit for, and I'm a longtime fan of his music (with some exceptions).

Good point, Matt. I should have said "politicians" instead of "Republicans."

Toby Keith is a longtime Democrat. He supported the Iraq war and made the comments on the Dixie Chicks, but he's been a Dem for a long time, if I'm not mistaken.
