Head of NBC Sports wants hockey players clean shaven

[OnlinePoker]

The head of NBC sports wants NHL stars on his network to stay clean-shaven during the playoffs and ditch the longstanding tradition of growing beards during their quest for the Stanley Cup.

NBC Sports Chairman Mike Lazarus told The Chicago Tribune that he wants the handsome faces of the NHL’s stars out there for the fans to see.

I really think the head of NBC sports should get his head out of his ass and stop trying to change traditions. This is as dumb as Fox putting a blue dot on the puck because people couldn't see it (according to them).

1. Fox put a blue dot on the puck

So that they could replace it with a logo later on.

2. Maybe they could get Gillette to sponsor them

and make a big deal out of having the losing teams shave them right after they go through the handshake line.

3. Somehow this reminds me of Joe Foss...

... who felt that his greatest accomplishment as AFL commisioner was making the players wear socks, because some of them had ugly legs.
