Performance-enhancing manscaping
What is it with men and hair?
You see it all the time in athletics. Modern-day gladiators leveraging their own manscaping against themselves in hopes it motivates them to play better.
In the NBA this season, all-star point guards Derrick Rose and Deron Williams have done this.
Rose wanted to play more aggressive for the Bulls, so he planned to deny himself a fresh cut until he did. Williams, who rocks the high half of the neck beard for the Jazz, said he wouldn't shave until the team won five straight.
Whaddya'll think of this method as a performance-enhancer? Sure beats steroids.

I love the playoff beard! One year long ago, my father didn't shave until the White Sox were out of first place. I suppose you can do that when you work for yourself.
There has been a lot of Olympic facial hair stories too.
How about Hannah Kearney rocking the pony tails through her helmet in her gold medal run? I love it!
I am rocking the unemployment beard - no shaving until I get an interview!!! However, that may just be laziness...
I wonder how many athletes would love to rock some facial hair, but just can't. Jonathan Toews' playoff beard from last year comes to mind. He may be the only person on the planet with worse facial hair than me! Sadly, I am 10 years older than him...
