Well this makes me feel old. As you may or may not know, I coached Tom Brady’s freshman high school basketball team. It doesn’t seem all that long ago, but now comes this story, in which we learn that Brady has been growing his hair long because he’s (dramatic music) going bald. What? He’s just a kid!
From New York Magazine:
You know how, a little while back, it seemed like Matthew McConaughey’s hair was thinning, even as he grew it longer and longer? And then, all of a sudden, it was thick again? (This was around the era of We Are Marshall, if you remember that — and you are not expected to.) Well, according to some, the same thing is about to happen to the Patriots quarterback. He’s been growing his hair out in a ridiculous fashion to cover a rumored bald spot, and his image-conscious wife, Gisele Bündchen, has urged him to solve the problem before it gets any worse. Now, now, don’t hate — she’s a supermodel; she’s allowed to be a perfectionist! The National Enquirer says it spotted Brady visiting a hair-transplant specialist in Cranston, Rhode Island. (Of course the Enquirer was hanging around a hair-transplant specialist’s office in Cranston.)
Yeah, sorry WikiLeaks, but you were too slow with this. The fact that Brady may be artificially growing crops on the upper 40 isn’t really noteworthy. But if Giselle has ordered him to get transplants, that’s kind of amusing. In a I’m-married-to-a-super-model-so-what-the-hell sort of way.
Anyway, Head & Shoulders is watching these developments carefully.
