Here's a little-known fact about Derek Anderson, the Cleveland Browns quarterback who has come out of nowhere to have a Pro Bowl-caliber season this year: One of his friends is Playboy Playmate Sara Jean Underwood.

On ESPN this morning, Anderson and Underwood discussed their longtime friendship. They both grew up in Scappoose, Oregon, they both attended Scappoose High School (Anderson was one year ahead of Underwood), and they both went to Oregon State for college. Underwood was apparently something of a matchmaker for Anderson and his wife, Lisa.

Oh, and while they were in college together, Underwood appeared on the cover of the "Girls of the Pac-10" issue of Playboy, a cover you can see here and is possibly not safe for work.

Anderson went on to become the 2007 Playboy Playmate of the Year. Anderson may go on to his first Pro Bowl. So who's the most famous person from Scappoose? They each say it's the other one.
