Once again, Mikey Lopez asks the tough questions.
Folks, "NYCFC Hair Madness" was rigged.
A bracket-based fan vote to decide who possessed the finest locks on the team, there was really only one final showdown worth pondering: Mix Diskerud versus Andrea Pirlo.
Mix. Liberated voluminousness, as if without effort.
Pirlo. A practiced elegance. Authoritative.
But alas, NYCFC's hair champion was not decided justly; the Maestro bounced Mix in the semifinals. Rigged!
Sure, the Miracle on Ice and the 2004 American League Championship Series both proved that a heady semifinal can upstage a subsequent final for the better.
