The first of what is sure to be many to come. Lists. I love lists. I love the subjectivity of it all. Here is the first - Bad Hair. The rule for this list is that it has to be current hair - we are not making a list of all time, just a list for now. This list is partially biased towards my watching Arsenal play this week and watching an NBA doubleheader tonight. While we may disagree on the top 10, we can all agree that there is some bad hair going on is sports today. Leave you nominations in the comments.
10 - Marv Albert -
You might be thinking, “his hair looks fine.” His hair does look fine...on a 39 year old. The problem is that Marv Albert is 71.
9 - Bryan Engblom -
- Baseball players and football players are largely not know for their hair as their career is spent wearing a hat/helmet. Hockey players also wear helmets yet they still have their own genre of hair. No one does it better than Bryan Engblom.
8 - Michael Beasley -
Cornrows? Still? Does he look in the mirror each morning and say, “oooohhh yeeeeaaaaahh, early 2000’s criminal, exactly what I’m going for.”
7 - Eric Spoelstra -
- Wilson is a clown, Engblom is a hockey player, at least they have excuses. This is Spo’s attempt at suave. Maybe he learned from his mentor Pat Riley. At least Riley’s used to work for him back when it had color and wasn’t so long that it is curling at the collar as it is now. Spo’s hair symbolizes the Heat’s failures before last year - unwilling to actually step up and be something. Lebron and co. fixed their problem, the coach’s greased mop must now do the same.
6 - Bryce Harper -
I think he actually got a haircut, but it was too late. You are 19, you just received the most hyped call-up to the majors that I can remember, SportsCenter is covering your every step, and your Parents have to see you on TV with the Daniel Boone coonskin cap underneath your Nationals hat? First impressions...bro.
5 - Bacary Sagna -
I’m all about having a trademark - Lebron’s headband, Tiger’s fistpump, Jordan’s tongue, Rodgers’ discount double check - but this?
4 - Mel Kyper -
- You are on TV for a living. I know you cover football, Mel, but come on. I actually can’t even stand Mel Kyper when he is on the radio. I would not be able to call myself a friend if you were on a date and you had a boogie hanging out of your nose and I did not tell you. Where are Mel’s friends? Where were they 15 years ago?
3 - Brian Wilson -
- Man! I hate the Giants, and I can’t stand Brian Wilson.
2 - Marouane Chamak -
- Congratulations, Arsenal, on having 2 players in the top 10. And all the Arsenal fans said, “give us a break...they’re both French.”
1 - Andrew Bynum -
When you win you get 2 pics. The bizarre thing about Bynum is that there seems to be no fashion statement going on here. If the big man had things figured out on the court then we would view his hair in a different way. Unfortunately his hair epitomizes his career - confused.
