It’s Friday, which means we’re all tired and ready to go home. It also means that we’re more open to ridiculing people similar to ourselves (sports fans) who have made horrible life decisions, because what’s wrong with you, we’re just trying to lay low and go home.
I’ve been trying to figure out which of these is worse — the guy who got the Miami Heat logo and the word “LeBron” shaved into his head, or the guy who got a Pittsburgh Steelers Terrible Towel” tattoo on his shoulder. You know, so it looks like he’s got a towel on his shoulder. FOREVER.
Let’s compare and contrast them:
Firstly, here’s the LeBron haircut guy.
Cons: You are the guy who got LEBRON shaved into your head. I know a lot of fans I talk to think wearing a jersey is a bad idea, because you’re basically wearing the name of another, better grown-up on your back. Taking that a step further, I guess getting a hairdresser to shave another guy’s name into your head — a stranger’s name, in fact, not somebody you know or love — is jersey times a million.
Pros: Hair grows back! This guy will be immortalized forever as the “guy with the LeBron haircut” on the Internet, but when he goes to the grocery store or whatever six months from now he’s just a guy.
Cons: ooooh my god what did you do to yourself
Pros: If you have wet hands, you can wipe them on your shoulder as a funny joke? I can’t think of many pros here. People know you really love the Steelers? I think saying “I really love the Steelers” would’ve worked, but what do I know.
Have you guys ever done anything Sports Stupid like this? I’m sure there’s something in our reading audience with a Don Sutton portrait tattoo or something.

New England Patriot helmet head tattoo is still the best of the worst.
…
Aren’t the Terrible Towels usually yellow?
Terrible Towel is clearly worse because the towel is black when it should be yellow. That’s just mind bogglingly stupid.
For all we know, the guy who loves LBJ is also named Lebron, which would make it less creepy.
There IS a black version that no one ever uses. Kind of like there is a yellow-white-and-black camo version as well. My guess is he just wanted to make sure it showed up, since yellow is a lighter color, and might not show up on his skin. Or something.
That is my guess. My other guess is that he should’ve not gotten one at all, because holy Christ does that look bad.
Because I do not have picture posting privileges, I will provide a link to Dolphins “undefeated unforgotten” guy. That is all.

When that guy drops his hands and the moobs come into place, the top of the tattoo reads “DEFEAT”
Thank UU.
Why doesn’t the towel cover his nipple? You just got 30% of your body covered in awful looking ink, but you’re too much of a pussy to cover the nip?
That guy’s head has its own chin.
Not only is the terrible tattoo a bad idea to start with, but it’s made 100 times worse with that nipple section cut out. You couldn’t just have the towel go a little more diagonal? Like one inch to the right is all it needs.
I’m just weirded out by that guy’s head. He’s like a human Shar-Pei.
