Beards and sports go hand-in-hand, with playoff beards, regular season beards, and famous beards that come to define the players who wear them. Today’s Best of the Web covers beards in the trifecta: hockey, football, and basketball.
First, Fox Sports reports on a die-hard hockey fan who asks for a puck from Edmonton Oilers' Connor McDavid. In exchange, he vows to shave off his nearly decade-old beard. Second, Sports Illustrated does an in-depth look at James Harden's mellow life in Houston, now free from the distractions of reality show girlfriends and passive-aggressive teammates. Finally, we bid farewell to the epic beard of the New England Patriots’ Julian Edelman.
On top of all that we've included 5 bad beard habits to break now for one kick-ass beard.
