Muttonchops No More

PhotobucketI'm of two minds on (American) football players being mic-ed. The sounds of the players crashing into each other and grunting doesn't do much for me. However, hearing snippets of some sideline conversations make it worth it.

San Diego ("which of course in German means a whale's vagina") Chargers' beatdown (51-14) of the Detroit Lions on Sunday, December 16, left the Chargers with time enough for a social hour. Shaun Phillips, #95, took it upon himself to instruct teammate Kassim Osgood, # 81 (right), on proper hair styling.

Shaun: "Whoever cut your sideburns... don't let them do them like that ever again. I just have no side burns, though. Sideburns played out, O.K.? Just come to a teeny point at the top."

I don't know, Shaun, I've definitely seen worse sideburns. Kassim's are a bit thin, though, and he probably would look good with them trimmed up to the top of his ear. But not with this weird "teeny point" you're talking about. What's that?
