FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — What’s the deal with the beard?
Larry David, the creator of “Seinfeld” and “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” is a big New York Jets fan. He’s not too fond of quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick’s facial hair, though.
“I don’t know why Fitzpatrick can’t shave, honestly,” David said Tuesday to guest host Charissa Thompson on “The Dan Patrick Show.” ”Why does he need that beard? That beard really bothers me. I don’t know what this quarterback looks like. Who am I rooting for? Imagine Mickey Mantle with a full beard like that. It would have changed my entire childhood.
