Morning Joe! Would You Grow a Beard?

by doctork44 on Jan 19, 2012 8:05 AM EST

Hello Bills Nation!!

I will like to start a series of Fan Post called Morning Joe! Where every morning I'll try to touch on topics Bills related. Hopefully, it will spark some great conversation and give you some "food" for thought.

Today's Joe, is would you grow a beard to show your Bills unity? Now as we all know, some people can't grow a beard; maybe because its a puberty thing or a hormone thing. But for those who can grow a beard, would you do it?

Yesterday, our Editor and Chief posted a great video that was put together by the BuffaloObserver that shows Fitzpatrick's beard growing throughout the season. I think the beard was a great thing to see through out the season, and its something that endeared me to Fitzpatrick this season, despite his poor play at times. So I'll like to propose a challenge to all Bills fans out there.

If Fitzpatrick grows the beard next year, will you start to grow yours? I think it will be a great way to show team spirit and show our appreciation to the players that play for our team. Imagine the trend this can start. Can you imagine going to games or watching it on TV and seeing thousands of people wearing beards to support the Bills? If this catches on, it will be one of the coolest things ever. Even cooler than the terrible towel, or the J.E.T.S chant. Something like this doesn't cost anything and its pretty easy to do, (considering you can grow a beard).

I know what I'm about to say sounds really naive, but just maybe something like this can help attract free agents or keep the Bills in Buffalo. When the outside world can see what we all know, that we are some really great fans that are loyal and will support this team no matter what. Even Russ Brandon can market something like this :). The Buffalo Beards sounds pretty cool to me.

So there you go Bills Nation, could you or would you grow that beard?

No, and I’m probably lucky that my favorite hockey teams don’t tend to have deep playoff runs because my beard is hella Amish looking and it’s terrible when it grows out past a couple centimeters.

I look freaky.

When I shave :)

Have some serious scars that the beard covers up.

Girls use hair spray, Men don't.

Are we talking battle wounds or ‘Heath Ledger as the Joker’ kinda scars here?

Haha

I never grown one before. It will look weird for me because I’m an african american man with red facial hair. So I know my beard will be red. My wife wouldn’t like it, but she’ll understand :)

HAHAHAHA

God I have had one forever.

The question for me is would you shave it off?

I had an awesome one when I was a teenager

But I wouldn’t be taken seriously in my profession with a giant beard. Being able to support myself is just a tad higher on the priority list, than supporting the Bills ;)

Is this your homework, Larry?

Yep, i already have one, but i cant let it get to squirrelly because of my job too. I guess that makes it a kind of chicken and egg question then lol

I would love to do it,

but I’m pretty sure my wife would shave it off while I’m sleeping. Either that, or she’d stop shaving her legs to get back at me. Either way I lose….

….The girl really hates facial hair :(

Yes

I did that this year. Started it after the first or second preseason game and told myself I was gonna shave it whenever we .500 or below. It was going strong for a while, I actually left it going a little longer than I told myself I would, I think I ended up shaving it after the San Diego game.

As a child I always wondered why a frisbee got bigger the closer it got. Then it hit me.

I did the same exact thing!

Ay Ay Ay Ayyyyy

Already got it covered.

It’s not as epic as Fitzy’s, but I’ve had mine pretty much since the end of Movembre. Usually grow one during the winter, great way to stay warm!

by CanadianBillsFan on Jan 19, 2012 9:39 PM EST reply actions

100% would be in

I hate having to shave every morning anyway and I can get a pretty thick one in about a week and a half. Get it started, love beards in the fall and winter anyway, keep the face toasty

I can't stand Fitz's beard thing...

Maybe it’s just me, but I always thought a superstition was something you kept going when you were…you know…winning. It would be a fun thing if we were making a run at the playoffs, but as Fitz and the rest of the team crumbled, it just felt ridiculous. I think maybe 3 or 4 games into the 7-game losing streak it was time to try something different.
