Football Follies..I mean Follicles

Okay many things to write about but what will I focus on, Hair in football. This season Tom Brady's flowing locks have been the talk of the town (well not really, but kinda) As of yesterday, I thought Tom was indeed the King of Football hair. However, during yesterday's Miami game Julian Edelman gave him a run for the money. I would have mentioned Jules before but since the dude has only been returning kicks this year mostly I hadn't seen him with his helmet off. Good Lord, boy did he grow his hair out. Well there you go, I thought, good run Jules but Tom Terrific is still #1. Then wait, what is this? During the snooze fest that was the Seahawks and Rams battle for the NFC West last night low and behold Clipboard Jesus was revealed. Yup, Charlie Whitehurst, quarterback back up for what 3.5-4 years comes on the scene. Tommy boy I love you but Hello Charlie. Good lord, what a head of hair. Right length, great deep dark color and significant scruff to match. Wow, who knew but the Seahawks not only won a playoff spot with an under .500 record, but they slipped in at the end of the season to win the Football Follicles 2010 award. Photos provided in order of mention.

Hair today...gone tomorrow.....

Hm, blogging's a lot harder than I thought. Sometimes it's time issues (okay it's mostly time issues), sometimes it's "what to write about issues", and sometimes it's a combination of both. And if I'm to be honest, lastly it's "lazy arse" issues. So for today I'm submitting something of no worth, but what has fostered a number of heated arguments with friends,family,even strangers over the past few weeks:

Tom Brady's Hair:

Wow how can anybody hate Tom Brady with long hair. I mean, really? Does anybody recall his season two picture? Geek to the max, short and parted in the middle. I think they've band it from the web because it was so horrible!

I've always adored long hair on guys anyway (no not to the "glam hair band" level please!). I mean, Jack Wild in HR Pufnstuf (or was that the beginning of my obsession with English men?); Michael Praed as "Robin-the Hooded man" back in the 80's. Barry Gibb (good lord that's sad isn't it). Caveat: There is a point when the long hair needs to be cut, I'm talking to you Barry. Um let's see John Taylor-but I always liked Simon better, and he had kinda short hair, but looks better with longer short hair..etc. Oooh and Eduardo Palomo (Juan Diablo in Corazon Salvaje)....sigh....poor Eduardo (totally ready to become a cross over hit in US before he sadly died). Anyway you get my point, long hair in, crew cuts need not apply. Yup that's it. How much more can I discuss long hair? But I mean if the bible has an entire story about long hair vs. short hair Mr. Samson and Ms. Delilah, there's gotta be something to keeping the locks long, no?

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.................

I'm giddy....really nothing else, just giddy. Oh and screw the long hair haters.
