Long Haired Football Players

What's with all the long haired football players? Did I miss an important cultural shift? Is long hair back?

I'm not much of a football fan so I didn't know this was going on. A guy told me the other day that there was a long haired one, but that's not the half of it. I watched the Super Bowl and there must have been -- well, let's see -- I jotted down some names -- four or five that I noticed.

One of these I only have the first name of: Laboy, Larry Fitzgerald, Darnell Dockett, Paul Palamalo, and Tyrone Carter. Palamalo's name might not be spelled right there.

To me it looks great, hanging down under their helmets. Men of nature!
