Best of the Decade Part 2: Craziest Sports Haircuts

Best of the Decade Part 2! Crazy Sports Haircuts

There have been many strange hairdos in the world of sports this decade and these are what we at 18-1 consider to be the craziest. Let's count down from #10 after the break.

10. Chad Ochocinco's Dyed Mohawk

Granted, this isn't that crazy especially for Chad, but this picture is worth more than a thousand words. That huge smile showing off his gold teeth perfectly compliments his giant stud earrings. To top it all off his hair looks like a Twinkie. - Sassmaster

9. Manny Being Manny

We had to include at least one baseball player in this list and everyone knows if you are going to make a list of crazies Manny Ramirez has to be involved. Generally the term "Manny Being Manny" refers to his strange post game conferences, his lackadaisical play in the field, or when he walks into the Green Monster between innings. In this case we mean his hair. It is probably the most "out there" hair in the MLB today. Most teams have a clean cut rule, but everyone knows you can't control Manny! He's a crazy Hispanic, if you piss him off he might whip some tacos out of those dreads and chuck them at you. I bet if he wanted he could spin his head around and whip you in the face with his dreads. That would hurt like hell. - Sassmaster

8. Chris Anderson's Faghawk

Maybe he's trying to stand out in the NBA, and since he's white his skills won't do it alone for him. Even if that's the case I don't care because his whole persona makes him seem like a douchebag. Starting with his gaudy colorful "Hey look, I'm badass" tattoos all over his arms and all the way up to the high point of his absurdly spiked hair, Chris Anderson looks crazy. He's even go a little mini mullet going on in the back, something very unique in the faghawk world. Also, is his goatee bleached? The point is his hair and overall look is way over the top; this is most likely to make him seem like he's an over the top player, but in reality he kind of sucks. - Sassmaster

7. Ronaldo's "Forehead Goatee"

I don't know what the hell this is, but you wouldn't know from looking at him that he is one of the best soccer players in the world. It kind of looks like he got drunk and passed out and Ronaldinho had some fun with a razor. In fact, Ronaldinho has some pretty sweet locks himself.

Ronaldo looks like a gopher in that picture. I don't know what he was trying to do with that unique haircut, but whatever it was he succeeded in his sport with it. - Sassmaster

6. Mike Commodore's Orange Jew Fro and Burliness

I don't know much about him or hockey but he had some sweet height on that fro in the early to mid 2000s. I do know that after the 2006 Stanley Cup playoffs Mike had his long curly red locks shaved for organizations which help Jimmy V Foundation cancer research. The first time he had his hair shaved was at his mother's former school, Fort High. The second time, Mike held ten eBay auctions for the highest bidders which would allow them to have a chance to shave his head and keep his hair. That's some pretty special hair. - Sassmaster

5. Troy Polamalu's Great Hair

What's a sports hair list without the famous Troy Polamalu on it? It really is fantastic. It's long and curly, it's everywhere, and it plays sports. Somehow it is still nice hair, unlike Joakim Noah's. He must owe it all to Head and Shoulders. This 'do alone made the NFL create a hair rule so they could protect its awesomeness. Not only is it where he gets his powers, it's where the whole Pittsburgh Steelers team gets their powers. Without him without his hair they are nothing. They proved it this season on defense. The hair is all powerful. The only thing that has been able to stop it is the Evil that is the Madden Cover Curse. - Sassmaster

I'll be the first to say that i'm really not a fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers, as I grew up in a household of Browns fans. That being said however, I gotta give credit to Troy Polomaru for his sense of humor with his stupid haircut, as he did some pretty funny commercials mocking his ridiculous hairdoo. - SirTheo

4. Joakim Noah's Dirty Mop

If there is any player on the Chicago Bulls who I hate from any point in franchise history it has to be Joakim Noah. Whether it be his inability to play defense in the final two minutes of the game, or his stupid temper-tantrums on the court, the antics he causes are not worth the whole 4 plays he makes each game. Strangely enough though, Noah's T.O. like attidute is not his defining feature, as he sports what could be the ridiculous hairdo in the NBA at the moment. The afro-like tumor that rests upon Noah's head almost looks as if it has a life of its own as it bobbles around each game. I honestly wouldn't doubt that Noah has tried to tame the wild beast with a comb or a brush only to have it snap back at him with vicious intent; thus proving that it is not Noah who controls the hair, but the hair which controls Noah. Derrick Rose and the rest of the Bulls need to hold Noah down and try to shave that weed off of his head before it causes them to lose in the playoffs again.

3. A.J. Hawk and His Dirty Hick Mullet

Out of all of those dastardly fucktards on the Green Bay Packers, there is one whom I am pained to hate. Since A.J. Hawk was part of the elite college football program known as, THE Ohio State University, there will always be a part of me that considers him to be pretty awesome; however, when he came into the NFL he decided (I don't care if he was drafted, he could have pulled an Eli!) to play for my team's most hated rival, the Packers.

You may be asking, "What exactly does this have to do with his dirty, dirty mullet?" Well, due to his switch from supreme awesomeness on the level of J.P Lossman, Professional Space Cowboy, to being a part of the plague of Cheesehead Hicks, his trademark hairstyle went from being goofy quirk, to a trademark of a team that praises half-retarded QB's and Cheese. So actually it's no wonder that the Packers decided to draft him, since aside from his skill, the ginger coon skin hat embedded into his scalp was perfect for their northern hick traditions. I of course felt betrayed, as I had long defended his awful choice in hair style, only to have him metaphorically spit in my face. This of course was an eye opening for me to never trust anyone with a mullet.

In a nutshell, A.J. Hawk's Mullet makes him look like the stupid hick that he is, and is appropriate as he plays for a team of stupid, smelly cheeseheads. - SirTheo

Somehow this Dirty Hick Mullet did 2 unpredictable things: it started a trend on the Packers team, and it somehow got him married to the pretty hot sister of Brady Quinn. I find it repulsive, but I guess some people love it. - Sassmaster

2. Ron Artest's Many Artistic Designs
Ron is known for many things in the NBA. He's a known lockdown defender, an outspoken man, and of course for the Brawl at the Palace seen here:

He's also one of the NBA's best hairstylists. I look at him as a calmed down version of Dennis Rodman. Ron regularly changes his hair from shaved, to mohawks, and most commonly to shaving designs and team logos into his head. It seems like every time he changes teams, which is often, he puts their logo in his hair. Add in some Chinese characters and a few good mohawks in his time and you have one of the best Sports Haircuts of the decade. - Sassmaster

1. Jeff Reed's Bleach Blonde Faggotry
This man's hair just screams, "Look at me, I'm a huge tool!" Whether it's the way his hair is bleached so lightly and flaring out like it is on fire, or how his dark goatee/beard contrasts his hair so much and points out how terrible it is, Jeff Reed had terrible hair. The fact that he is the NFL's biggest Guido also helped him earn the #1 spot.

His hair also perfectly reflects his personality and attitude. On February 14th 2009 Reed was cited for destroying public property in New Alexandria, Pennsylvania. He reportedly destroyed a paper towel dispenser in a public restroom at a convenience store because he was mad they were out of paper towels. He pleaded guilty to this charge. Later in the year on October 18th 2009 he was arrested for public intoxication, resisting arrest, and for trying to fight a police officer. He was honorably trying to defend Steelers Tight End Matt Spaeth who was pissing in public. Sometimes it is not just the hair but the story behind the hair that is most important.

I'll just leave this picture of Jeff Reed mopping after losing the game for the Steelers in week 2 when they played Da Bears. That accompanied with his DUI, it really is just not Reed's year...and of course this too..

Can't even attempt a tackle...

Honorable Mention: since he didn't play in this decade... Dennis Rodman's hair. This man had EPIC hair his whole career. He would have undoubtedly won Best of the Decade for the 90s. - Sassmaster

Extra Award: Best Mustache of the Decade

Scott Player, the greatest punter ever!

Although he no longer plays in the NFL, Scott Player was a punter who not only sported a handlebar mustache, but he also was the last player to ever sport a 1-bar facemask, as when the league banned them, there was a loophole which allowed anyone currently using them to continue using them...sort of like another famous player..
