Beards in Sports: Creating Samson-like Power?

After reviewing the list, please weigh in. Do you agree or disagree with the picks? Do you think facial hair has any bearing on an athlete's ability to perform or his level of confidence? Who sports your favorite beard in sports history and why?

Poll: Do You Find Mustaches Sexy?

Over on Sodahead there is a poll asking the question "Do you find mustaches sexy?" The answers and images are funny, insightful and helpful to any male who is wondering how others view or might view his mustache.

At the time of publication, the results were leaning to the against-mustache crowd. Mustache-lovers, be sure to vote! There is also a map graphic showing which states lean in each direction.

Obviously, the Goddess is PRO-Mustache. ;-)

While we are on the topic, what are the funniest or most bizarre comments and experiences you have had related to your mustache? Please keep comments "PG" in nature.

Mustache Contest for Blount County Cops

Speaking of police and facial hair, Blount County, Tennessee officers were part of a mustache contest Friday, sponsored by the Fraternal Order of Police.

According to Blount Today, Laramy Gregory, a chapter president, stated, “We’re trying to raise awareness. There have been 48 officers killed in the line of duty across the nation so far this year, and we recently had an officer with the KPD shot,” said Gregory. “This is just a goofy, fun way to bring attention to the officers and the jobs they do.”

Kudos to the FOP in Blount County for celebrating facial hair and the great job the police do. To read more about this event, please click here.
