Whose hairstyle is worse -- Tom Brady's or Jan Brady's?

CBS Sports' Charlie Casserly claims that there's a hair-raising reason Randy Moss got traded from the New England Patriots -- Moss reportedly said Tom Brady's goofy new hairdo made the quarterback look like a girl. Please, oh, please, let this story be true!


Casserly reported on NFL Today:

"One of Brady's problems with Moss was his behavior as a Patriot," said Casserly. "One of the things overheard was Brady telling Moss, 'You've got to cut your beard.' And Moss counters, 'You've got to get your hair cut. You look like a girl.'" 

You can watch this report here from NFL Today (the best part is the uproarious laughter in the studio after Casserly reports this.)

I try not to comment on players' physical appearance, but Tom's Justin Bieber hairdo needs a hair-intervention. It's the most ridiculous hairstyle on a Brady since Jan Brady wore that black wig on "The Brady Bunch" back in the day. Only thing is, her siblings told her she looked dopey with the "New Jan Brady" wig.

On the other hand, Tom's wife Gisele Bundchen is the one who pushed this ridiculous style on her hubby. Why? Is she trying to keep every other woman in the world from finding her husband attractive?

And if this story about the Moss-Brady confrontation is true, where does Brady get off complaining about Moss' beard, and telling him to cut it? Is the Patriots' QB -- who roots for the Yankees, by the way -- taking his Yankee fandom so far that he wants to institute a hair code for his team? If so, he really needs to take a look in the mirror, and see that his own hair would be banned in Yankeeland.

What happens if the Patriots don't make the playoffs because of Moss' absence? How silly will that be if this story is true, that Moss is gone because he dared to criticize what pretty much everybody else in America acknowledges -- that Tom Brady needs a haircut! When I saw Bill Simmons speak last week, he brought up Brady's hair several times, and mocked the 'do (more like a don't!)

Here's the story: Brian Cashman uses "Brady Bunch" plotline for inspiration

Think Brian Cashman lost his mind this offseason by picking up Javier Vazquez and Nick Johnson? Wait until you hear what he had planned for this October. It's straight out of a '70s sitcom.

Cash told this to Kevin Kernan of the New York Post (hat tip to WasWatching ) and emphasis added:

"It's kind of like the Derby, Preakness, Belmont, races are longer, shorter," he said. "We won the long race in terms of qualification, whether it's the wild card or Eastern Division title. Now we have a shorter race we have to run in a five-game set, so your roster strengths get analyzed differently or get weighted differently."

When he was asked what he makes of the way his horses have limped to the finish line, Cashman, showing his TV side, said, "I liken it to the Brady Bunch and when they had the phony football playbook. If you are advance scouting us here in September, I think we are holding back all our big plays."

The "Brady Bunch" is his inspiration? What, is Cashman going to have A-Rod get hit in the face with a football and scream, "Oh, my nose"? Is Joe Girardi going to be rocking a perm, a la Mike Brady? Will Wes Parker, the ghost of Don Drysdale, and Joe Namath show up to give the team a pep talk?

Here are some other "Brady Bunch" plotlines that just might work for the Yankees this October:

*  A model volcano explodes at Yankee Stadium to thwart a Twins rally.

*  The new "God Bless America" singer: Davy Jones!

*  Best pre-game meal: Pork chops and apple sauce. That's swell!

*  Forget the team going from the hotel to the ballpark by bus. Station wagons are the way to go -- until gold prospector Jim Backus steals the vehicle, that is!

*  Yanks get revenge against Carl Pavano -- first by telling him, "Baby talk, baby talk, it's a wonder you can walk," then by "accidentally" trapping him in Sam the Butcher's meat locker.

Geez, let's hope that the necklace A.J. Burnett wears around his neck doesn't secretly have a tiki idol attached, or all is doomed, anyway!
