My man Carmelo Anthony is sporting a fresh new haircut. Gone are his signature braids and there have been all sorts of bad rumors flying around the reason was for the new look. Some of them being: He went with an Obama style look in honor of the new President Elect. It was because he’s opening a new upscale barber shop in Denver and wanted to create a buzz (haha). Him and AI were close and braid buddies so when AI left, so did his hair.

One a side note, it was good to see LaLa…she’s looks sexy as always!

But anyways, all the rumors above, they’re all BS. The real reason was he got worked in NBA Live by his boy and had to cut it off to man up to his bet. I think it looks good but next time ‘Melo wants to wager something on a game of Live…he should come holla at us and get on WorldGaming!

I love sports. And I’ll pretty much watch whatever is on. But never hockey.

It’s boring, except for playoff hockey which I love and actually will watch. Living in Toronto this isn’t going to be a popular decleration with my Canadian brethren. Sorry buddies.

But I love my boy Alexander Ovechkin. I love him because besides being amazing on the ice, he’s making a move that nobody else of his stature would. When the world’s richest athletes sign endorsement deals, they usually go with a top of the line company. So how cool is it that Ovechkin’s new endorsement deal (he signed a 13-year, $124 million dollar deal with the Washington Capitals in January), is with the Hair Cuttery.

Just about any other prominent athlete would have inked a deal with a hair cutting chain that cost $500 a pop. But the league MVP, whose contract is the richest in league history, gets his haircuts at a place that charges $14 for a cut and a wash.

I know your wondering so here’s the breakdown of the deal for the 24-year-old Russian who will earn $9 million next year. He gets $109,756 per game, $1,829 per minute and $30.48 per second. That all means that Ovechkin pays for his haircut in roughly a half second of a game.

I love it even more because the best part about this endorsement is that he really goes to the Hair Cuttery! I get mine cut at this crazy place called the House of Lords by my girl Sara (your the best!) for a whopping $15, so it looks like I’m a baller. But I’m curious…how much do you pay for your haircut and what’s the most you’d ever pay? Leave a comment and we’ll have some fun with this one!
