The Beard

by Hochuli loves Broccoli on Jan 8, 2009 4:01 PM EST

In 2005 Ben sported The Beard. What happened? We won the whole friggin cake. Then he shaved it off. Many speculated that destroying the beard could hurt the team. They were right. The beard is what makes great men gods. Chuck Norris, Mr. T., James Harrison tore his own beard off with his bare hands because it itched him once. I want to see the beard in the playoffs. I also want to see JB but that's not happening.

After our 5th ring Ben cuts it off and then this happens

so what have we learned? If Ben wants that ring he has to ditch his razor right now. Grizzley Adams didn't get to where he is today by keeping a clean cut face. Anyone know where Grizzley Adams is anyhow?

I remember prior to pit-denver game...

the nytimes ran a very in-depth article comparing the beards of ben and plummer. We all got a kick out of that seriousness of that piece.

Theory officially killed

I hate NIEL ODONNEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My favorite memory was the next season, maybe two seasons later, when Greg Lloyd sacked Niel and knocked him out of the game with a bloody nose. I want to say it was the following season.

"Damnit mom! You almost ran over Greg Lloyd!"

at an autograph signing back in 95. He walked out in front of our minivan, and my mom almost hit him. He apologized.

Ugh

I’m going to go tie terrible towels to all my ceiling fans in my house, turn them on, and try to get some of that Pitt Mojo back. That pic of Niel just turned my team spirit flacid. Ugh,
