Just Some More Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Get Married on V-Day Or EVER

If you’re thinking of getting married, DON’T, stupid. As a man who has been “actively divorced” for three years I really don’t know why I ever decided to complicate my life.

For instance tonight, I spent two hours after work watching highlights of the 1995 NBA Dunk Contest/Three Point Shootout. I ate dinner from a can and a blender. I stopped re-watching season 2 of Breaking Bad to write this. And I haven’t even mentioned my masturbation schedule yet.

Regardless, if you’re in a hurry to shit the bed in terms of far-reaching relationship decision making, consider these facts from David’s Bridal:

– More than half of brides (57%) would change something about their engagement ring if they could, with the biggest gripe being wanting a bigger stone (19%)

80% would scoff at a public Facebook proposal

63% wouldn’t say yes to their beau proposing on a Jumbotron

57% of brides would say no to the ever-popular flash mob proposal!

And if she says no, she’s doing you a favor, you idiot. Remember it isn’t just the proposal that’s about her but the entire fucking relationship.

Steelers Brett Kiesel Shaves Beard, Hurts Our Feelings

Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end Brett Kiesel is known for having the kind of beard that other men envy, unless of course that other man is famed Beardsman Jack Passion.

Kiesel’s beard is so prodigious, it looks like the head of a five year old child is growing on the lower half of his face.

Well, not anymore.

Kiesel shaved his beard for his annual “Shear The Beard” charity event last Thursday night.

Check out the video here, which features several of Kiesel’s Steelers teammates each taking a turn removing the beard, clip by clip.

Patriots Season Over, Now Things Get “Hairy” For Welker

After an uninspired loss to the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship game, the Patriots face a slew of huge personnel decisions, but none bigger than what to do with wide receiver Wes Welker.

Welker famously began promoting a hair rejuvenation procedure called “hair restoration surgery” he undertook prior to the season to restore his hair.

Now that his hair situation is solid, where will he play next year? Fresh off receiving the Franchise Tag for this season, it is unlikely he would get tagged again next year for  roughly $11 million. But, at 32, is a long term deal in the works?

I’ve always found it interesting that Tom Brady and his perfect hair relied on Welker so frequently. In the hair hall of fame, Brady would be a first ballot inductee. But he wouldn’t have gotten there without Welker.

No matter what happens, Welker is a multi- million”hair” with great hair. He will be fine. But can we say the same about the Patriots?

Jack Passion- America’s Greatest “Beardsman”

There’s just something about a great beard that gets both the ladies, and fellow dudes, heads to turn. Jack Passion, who plays a large role in the men’s grooming documentary Mansome, explains it rather eloquently here.

Passion, considered by many to be America’s greatest “beardsman”, is the only American to ever win first place at the German Beard and Moustache Championships. He is also a multiple world champion in the “Natural Full Beard” category. Passion asserts in the film that a man’s natural state is to be bearded, and therefore should be embraced.

If you haven’t seen Mansome, you should.
