When the New Orleans Saints began the season a disappointing 0-2, Saints/NFL columnist Larry Holder boldly declared that if the team went on to win ten games, he would shave his head. The football gods were clearly listening and decided to cruelly smite his lustrous locks.
Backed literally and figuratively into a corner at Tracey's Original Irish Channel Bar, the Samson of scribes was subjected to shears of shame wielded by relatives, co-workers, bosses and "friends."
As tufts of hair fell like tears onto a tarp spread below, Larry's stubbly pate was exposed as badly as his lack of faith in the Black and Gold.
