Hockey Hair.  The Kentucky Waterfall.  The Missouri Compromise.  The Neck Warmer.  All nicknames for the one thing that would help you to identify Jared Allen if you saw him walking down the street. . .well, other than the whole muscle-bound defensive lineman thing.

But, in any case. . .like the snows of a Minnesota winter, Jared Allen's mullet is no more.

In anticipation of his upcoming wedding, the NFL's best pass-rushing defensive end has cut his trademark long hair in exchange for something a little less. . .I don't know. . .crazy?  Is crazy the word I'm looking for here?

In any event, congratulations to Jared and his fiancee on their upcoming nuptials.  However, for the sake of the Vikings, I hope that this turns out better for the team than the last time a man cut his hair on account of a woman.

I can't help but think that it will.
