Happy birthday, friends.

We typically end every day around here with an "All-World Power Rankings." Today, though, we couldn't go with just one. Conventional wisdom says that December 30th is the most epic of days for celebrity birthdays: Tiger Woods, LeBron James, Matt Lauer, Heidi Fleiss (!!), James Burrows and Sandy Koufax, among others (Kenyon Martin!) Today (November 17th) is a contender: Lorne Michaels, Martin Scorcese, Tom Seaver, Danny DeVito, Daisy Fuentes (!!), Butch Davis, Ryan Braun and Rachel McAdams, among others. To celebrate, we decided to roll out a bunch of All-World Power Rankings we've done relating to some people having birthdays today. Enjoy.

LORNE MICHAELS (64 TODAY)
Who was the best athlete host of SNL ever?
Who is, essentially, the best "Andy Samberg" of the sports world?
SNL has produced some cool crossover acts, so we'll include this.
We love ya, Lorne.
SNL and sports!


MARTIN SCORCESE (66 TODAY)
The best coaches in sports movie history. Scorcese coulda made 'em all better!

BUTCH DAVIS (57 TODAY)
Davis coached a few of these dudes.
You could classify Davis at UNC as "a comeback," right?

DANNY DEVITO (64 TODAY)
With these guys, it's always "sunny in Philadelphia." Ha!

RACHEL MCADAMS (30 TODAY)
Her and Ryan Gosling? Time to roll out the underrated duos Ranking!
