Did Beauty Break Up the Patriots?

By Elizabeth Angell, Allure magazine

If football is as big in your household as it is mine, then you probably know that the New England Patriots star wide receiver Randy Moss was traded last week to the Minnesota Vikings. (Bear with me here-you haven't wandered onto espn.com by accident. I swear there's a beauty angle!) Then this week came rumors that Moss was traded after he and Patriots quarterback Tom Brady had a locker room showdown.

The heated, intense topic of the alleged battle? Hair. Brady supposedly told Moss that he needed to shave his beard and Moss shot back that Brady should cut his hair (that would be the Beiber-esque mop top that Brady's wife Gisele Bündchen won't let him change.)

Ok, so both Moss and Brady have denied that they fought or that their disagreements led to Moss's swift mid-season team change, so it's probably just a tempest in a teapot. But I love the image of these two guys losing their tempers over each other's signature hairstyles. After all, the NFL is full of hair divas. What do you think: Do guys you know care enough about hair to get in a fight over it?
