The man featured in the accompanying photo is none other than NFL badass running back John Riggins. A man who had some famously choice words for one Sandra Day O’Connor. If he could rock it, then where’s the shame?

When was the last time you saw a really killer white afro? Yeah, I know, I can’t remember either. So maybe we, me and you, should be that guy. Chicks love weirdoes, look at Phil Spector, Anthony Weiner and Scott Peterson.

Maybe you just don’t know the steps to grooming one, perhaps. If that’s the case, this dude seems to have a decent idea.

Whose Arm Is Stronger- Ryan Fitzpatrick Or His Beard??

September 8, 2011 / Paul Eide

Ryan Fitzpatrick may be the most underrated QB in the entire NFL, but his beard is the undisputed #1 QB beard in the entire NFL. Last season, Fitzpatrick’s beard almost got more notice than his production after he was inserted into the starting lineup prior to week four. Fitzpatrick went on to throw 23 TUDS over the next 13 games, and immediately improved a bad team.

With the start of the 2011 NFL season this weekend, Fitzpatrick has already started growing the 2011 version of the beard, no matter what his wife thinks about it. So while you may not ever be an NFL QB, you can at least grow a beard like one.

The “Bowl Cut”: When Dudes Were Dudes

September 3, 2011 / Paul Eide

Ahhh, the “Bowl Cut”. For a while there in the early 90’s every dude I knew had one, and there was almost an unspoken hierarchy based on how yours was cut. The longer the hair on top was, and the more “skinned” the hair underneath was, the more “badass” it was. Hence the evolution from the “Bowl Cut” to the “Flop” that all the skaters rocked with their “Vision Street Wear” t-shirts.

Lately, celebrities from Lady Gaga and Rhianna have been sporting variations of the “Bowl Cut” which begs the ultimate question- Isn’t Justin Bieber’s “signature” hairdo nothing more than an overgrown, poorly maintained “Bowl Cut”?

The New Hairdo: The Hair Does You

August 27, 2011 / Paul Eide

You know the hairdo; anybody who works for a nameless corporation has seen the IT people in their company rocking this hairstyle, along with bleached white Jerry Seinfled-esque tennis shoes and tight blue denim jeans worn in classic “high-water” style. You can’t just grow it; it grows you.

It’s sort of like Rod Blagojevich’s hair but without the forced part and looks more like a sponge/white afro. The hair just IS. So what’s a brother to do? Rock that shit. It’s in like made for TV Kardashian weddings.
