Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

Jared Allen is Now Sans Mullet

Holy crap, who the heck is that guy!?  Oh, wait. . .it's the NFL's best pass rusher.  Strange.  (Picture via Vikings.com)

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.

I feel like their's been a death in the family.

But at least I’ll always have the mullet generator on my ipod

Thank god for the mullet generator app

Now I can just plug in a picture of Jared Allen and add the mullet back.

Sampson Cut His Hair

I don’t think it’s an issue in 2010.

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it…

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children what it was once like in the United States when men were free." ~ Ronald Reagan

he's selling the mullet on ebay

It's a lot easier to love the Vikings when they win...

He still looks slightly deranged...

…so I think we’ll be ok.

He’s trying real hard to hold it back in the photo, but his soul is still there.

the beast within

wasnt it the silver fox who said … that jared allen is a beast … i agree … and … one of the most fun vikings to watch play since john randle … a true asset to the purple and represents every day all day … i hope he continues to push the envelope of success … he is one of those players that makes those around him better by his example his motor just never stops … and didnt he slide into a sweet setup movin in next to kevin & pat throw in a little ray and ya got … “The A.W.W.E.some4some” the best d-line in the business

Judd Zulgad just Twittered this...

“Jared Allen talks OTAs and have no fear the mullet will return.”

Worry not fans!

I'm still a Minnesotan at heart...

Get well soon Jared

… I’m sure the mullet will be back in no time.

Go Nevada Wolf Pack!

It makes me very sad

To know there is one less mullet in the world

The future is not what it used to be.

The Mull-Hawk

He should have a Mohawk that trails down to his mullet, that would be cool.

I heard

They used the Magical Mullet to clog the BP spill in the Gulf.

Hahah

We should start an online thing of Jared Allen and his mullet…

Like how Chuck Norris became the internet hit….

Daren Sharper runs off with Jared Allen's fiancee.

Just wishful thinking. I’d like for Jared to be really mad all season. Especially for that opener.

Can a happily married man without a mullet get the job done? Let’s hope so.

by JethroBoViking on May 26, 2010 11:13 PM CDT reply actions  

Nah

Find a way for Drew Bree’s to run off w/ J. Allen’s fiance..

I think Drew Bree’s would have to call-in sick for the season opener, or risk death.

the Neanderthal brow will carry him through

with or without mullet.

May the wind be always at your back, and may your placekicker have icewater in his veins.

by juperee on May 26, 2010 11:29 PM CDT reply actions  

Seriously?

Is that really J. Allen from H.S.?

Holy crap does he look weird.. (If this photo is legit)….

I wouldn’t think so, since I believe he didn’t grow his hair into a mullet until after he joined the K.C. Chiefs, since one of his favorite players (I believe a Linebacker) was once a chief and rocked a mullet.

Rofl....

That’s my 1984 girlfriend’s little brother!

Are you serious?

or you just playing dumb to be funny? haha

I'm just sayin...

I think the pic is mid-eighties, the kid is 16-18 years old, 5’8 and 165 lbs…
