R.I.P. Shag: Tom Brady Cuts His Hair

The most talked about hairstyle in football is no more.

Days after telling the press he doesn’t take his hair “too seriously,” Tom Brady is creating “buzz,” showing up to a press conference Wednesday without those famous long locks. Gone was his much-discussed shoulder-length do, and in its place, a freshly cropped cut, which Brady kept concealed underneath a baseball cap.

The model athlete has caused quite a stir in recent years with his ever-changing hair. He turned heads everywhere with a short cut before experimenting with his controversial Bieber-esque swoop. Then, he took things to new lengths by growing it longer and eventually sporting a ponytail that had sports fans — and Brady fans — commenting up a storm.

Perhaps wife Gisele Bündchen, who has weighed in on his hair in the past, had something to do with his newly shorn locks, or maybe Brady took notice of the recent Pert Plus Facebook poll about him, where 63 percent of fans said they preferred him with short hair (they also said he has the best hair of any quarterback in the NFL). Either way, it’s time to say R.I.P. to those once-coveted long locks. Tell us: How do you prefer Brady’s hair?

STOP. TALKING. ABOUT. HIS. HAIR.

Maybe he’ll stop throwing into interceptions now! Athletes are very superstitious and Sunday’s game was a mess so perhaps time for a change.

Are you kidding? Tom Brady is SO HOT no matter the length.

GO PATS!

Thank you Lord. I don’t know why handsome men such as Tom or Brad Pitt want to disguise it with a lot of hair. They are too good looking to hide it.

Screw the hair…Tom Brady is STILL the most attractive and best quarterback in the league. Also happens to be a rich S.O.B, with a supermodel wife, and a whole bunch of superbowl rings. He could dye it pink and crop it like Kate Gosselin and would STILL be the man. Go Pats!

To the person who said why is this news worthy…..People isn’t a news magazine,you want news get Time.

look on

this was like a story a year ago or maybe even farther back. how did it become relevant again.

Tom Brady is a very handsome man. His Victoria Secret model wife, doesn’t want other women to notice him. She’s the one pushing for the long hair, scruffy look. She is nuts and he is too good for her, I think. Keep your hair short, Tom. You belong on the cover of GQ.

Finally!!! long hair was not sexy on him….

Megan on

A man always looks sexier with his hair longer… The attitude in this story reminds me of my Grandma back in the 50s before I was even born!
