Hi everyone, it’s late May and a slower part of the year for football only fans and national sports talk shows (who only talk about football). So we love to have fun topics here in the month of May. We have done a top 12 mustaches and a top 12 Animals in sports so, today we shift over to top 12 Mullets in Sports. There are many of awesome business in front party in back looks in the history of sports. This is always for debate and banter so please respond and let me know if we forgot anyone. Thanks again for the support and have a wonderful Wendesday.
Honorable Mention- Kenny Powers (Baseball player, ladies man and party animal)
I know fictional characters normally don’t count but how can we not at least give one of the most ridiculous characters to ever appear on an HBO program a shout out. Kenny Powers is known for his fastball, insane ego and even more insane Ideologies. But what is best about Kenny Powers is that fantastic head of hear, you wear it well Kenny! Warning Kenny uses some graphic language when speaking so viewer discretion may be advised.
#12 Jose Canseco (Basebal)
We all remember Jose Canseco as the godfather of steroids’ (by his own admission), the first player to have a 40/40 season (40 homers, 40 steals). Also for Jim Carrey screaming in Liar Liar while hilariously being remanded in court for screaming, “I’M JOSE CANSECO!!!” What I remember is that amazing head of hair Jose Canseco had, that hair isn’t cheating anyone my friends.
#11 Mitch Williams (Baseball)
Mitch Williams or the original Wild Thing (Charlie Sheen may say hold my beer? Maybe not a good idea for Charlie to have a drink) is most known for falling off the mound while Joe Carter hit a line drive three run homerun to win the 1993 World Series for the Blue Jays in dramatic fashion over the Phillies. What I know Mitch Williams for is that beautiful head of hair, Wild Thing I think I love you!!
#10 Wayne Gretzky (Hockey)
I cannot think of another sport that there is an undisputed GOAT outside of hockey. It’s Wayne Gretzky and there is no one putting their beer down to argue. But Wayne Gretzky is not just known as being the greatest ever (shoot his nickname is the Great One!). But his head of hair was so 1980’s and awesome that we could not keep it off this list.
9. Rod Beck (Baseball)
Rod Beck went to the same high school that I did (even though I only went for a semester freshman year before moving to Arizona) in Grant High School in North Hollywood California. Rod Beck was a pitcher that reinvented himself in the late 1990s when his velocity dropped 10 miles and hour with a devastating splitter. Sorry Mr. McGavin but this is the shooter we are giving high praise to today. Look at that stache and hair, just fantastic.
8. Jared Allen (Football)
Jaren Allen didn’t just terrorize Quarterbacks in the 2000s during his time with the Chiefs and Vikings with his devastating speed rush. A great stat about Allen was that he was 13th in the 2000s in sacks even though his rookie season wasn’t until 2004. He was a beast on the field, but his hair was also very beast like (and also quite awesome).
7. John Kruk (Baseball)
John Kruk is remembered by many for Randy Johnson throwing a pitch behind his head in the 1993 all star game. John Kruk would strikeout in an at bat that looked like I was facing Randy Johnson (spoiler alert, we will be talking more about Randy later). John Kruk was a very underrated hitter in his time in the big leagues. But what was not underrated is Kruk’s beautiful head of hair.
6. Brian Bosworth (Football)
The man known as the Boz was one of the biggest linebacker prospects coming out of Oklahoma in the mid 1980s. Bosworth was a marginal player in the NFL but never lived up to his hype. Everyone remembered Bo Jackson bulldozing poor Boz in a Monday night football game in 1987. You know what I remember Brian Bosworth for? You guessed it, that fantastic head of hair. Also remember the movie Stone Cold? I did and here is a clip for you.
5. Barry Melrose (Hockey)
We all remember Barry Melrose from his time on the mothership (Dan Patrick shout out!). We also remember him being Wayne Gretzky’s coach on the Kings in the early 1990s. Barry Melrose seems to be one of the coolest guys you would ever meet seeing his interactions on television. You want to know what makes him the ultimate coolest guy on the planet, his hair!
4. Randy Johnson (Baseball)
Randy Johnson is one of the best left handed pitchers in major league history. He was the best Diamondback of all time as well (Sorry Luis Gonzalez put your beer down, four cy youngs speaks for itself) and in the conversation as best Mariner ever (Ken Griffey Jr. probably has you beat there Randy). But we remember Randy Johnson for his awesome head of curly mullet awesomeness, check it out.
3. Dwayne Schintzius (Basketball)
Dwayne Schintzius was one of the best Florida Gators in the 1980s for a basketball program that wouldn’t really take off for another decade into the Top 25 program it is today. Dwayne had back problems throughout his NBA Career which limited him to being primarily a reserve in his ten year career. What did not reserve Dwayne was that hair, this is what a mullet will look like in a catalog. It is unfortunate Dwayne is no longer with us but his hair will live on forever.
2. Jaromir Jagr (Hockey)
Jaromir Jagr has had a Hall of Fame worthy career in his time in the NHL and remarkably is still playing professionally in the Czech Republic at the age of 49. Jagr was Mario Lemeiux’s running mate for the great Penguins teams of the 1990s. We aren’t here to talk about Jagr’s accomplishments on the ice (which is many), but his fantastic head of hair, Fabio somewhere is jelly as the kids would put it.
1.Andre Agassi (Tennis)
Andre Agassi is one of the best tennis players of all time. His battle’s with Pete Sampras in the 1990s were some the best tennis clashes we have ever seen. But early in his career Andre Agassi has some hair that we are pretty sure inspired David Spade to make a terrible yet somewhat funny comedy in the early 2000s. You might remember David Spade as Joe Dirt, but we now know who the real Joe Dirt is.
Not cool! Any of them!!!!!
