This reader submission is an absolute doozy. I’m kinda intimidated by the glare this guy gives the camera. Like I know just by posting this I’m subject to get my ass kicked. I don’t care how many miles away I may currently be. Extra credit for the subtle racing stripes. 8.7

Niklas Backstrom (circa 07) This pic reminds me of when hockey was hockey. When you had to touch up for icing and the pads were smaller. Coming into photo day with the left side of his mop going absolute haywire makes me think Nik has never looked at his hair before. 4.8

Eric Karlsson Captain Morgan Karlsson is pretty gross. I’d be lying to you if I said otherwise. His hairline reminds me of the Great Recession, and it looks like he ran out of Listerine years ago. If he took at least one shower a year he’d be among the greats. 2.3

Regis (Pierre) McGuire #BecauseItsTheCup, we need to circle all of our hockey wagons right now. I, for one, am a massive Regis fan. I do think his horn-rimmed spectacles leave a little to be desired. He also doesn’t have hair. 0.0

Fan submission of a guy with straight juice. Very nice curl/poof, and I’m a little surprised the lines in the background are straight and we weren’t swindled with a photoshop job. Not sure how to evaluate since he’s almost on a different playing field, but 9.5 conservatively?

Couple of old timers in Boca Raton, Florida absolutely killing it. If they have longevity with the flow, I bet they’re still great in the sack too. Just a few cocksmen that still got it. 9.2 average.

Coach Craig Nelson He’s a football coach trapped in a figure skating coach’s body. I don’t know if this actor is in any other movies but he showed the talent of a perennial Academy Award winner in Blades of Glory. Dicey hairline, but I’d be too afraid to say that to his face 5.8

Greg Kursten POOF! This guy is a STAR! Where did he come from? I gasped when he appeared on my screen for those 2 seconds. Best 2 seconds of the whole Grammys. He needs to start marketing himself more, he has a “wise” gray look with great layering. 7.7

SZA Girl has a mane! I love this look. It had to take no less than 3 years to curl, no? And I don’t even want to think about blow drying! Only problem is it definitely ends up in her food every time she eats, which is quite a price to pay. Appreciate the commitment though. 6.2

I think that’s R Kelly Nice to see the Kellz making a comeback. He is just misunderstood. He has golden pipes and good intentions (probably false). I wish he could give us a little “My mind’s telling me no!” right now. He’s also bald so there is nothing to grade here. 0

Patti LuPone Beautiful voice, beautiful flow. That mop would fit in well in an early 2000s boy band... give her some baggy jeans and she’d be singing “Bye Bye Bye” before you know it. This is her Super Bowl and all of the grandmas of America loved it!! 5.6

John “Cougar” Mellencamp. Impressive showing here from the cougs- this flow took grit and hard work to master. I estimate that it took at least 3 hours of blow drying and gel to achieve that volume and width. Also some very nice chin music. 7.9.

Jared Allen This is an example of racing stripes done the right way. The camera is so focused on them that it blocks the rest of this old school mullet. Yes, I know, I see the bald spot... I’m willing to look past it, because those stripes deserve a gold jacket. 5.6

Tommy Wiseau and Greg Sestero These two are hot in the streets right now, and I think I know the reason. It is rare to find a frosted tip/black dye job combo like this. The playful shoulder tap unites their hair as one somehow. This is a once in a lifetime shot. 9.4

Toad the Wet Sprocket Pretty decent set here. Not gonna say they all were gifted with the best follicles, but the guy on the far right has an incredible “upside down W,” or M, styling. I assume he’s the drummer and flips it around while he goes to work. 3.1

Oscar Wilde The esteemed author of “A Picture of Dorian Gray” knows how to ham it up for the cameras. I’m convinced that if Richard Lewis went to a Halloween party dressed as Lord Farquaad in the mid-to-late 19th century, Oscar and him could pass as identical twins. 7.9

Rob Lowe No one lets it flow quite like Rob. He is, literally, a stunner. Things to note: 1. His cut-off sleeves and collar, letting his sculpted body breathe 2. His aqua blue eyes 3. His tortoise-framed glasses clipped to said shirt collar so everyone can see those eyes. 9.2

Brock Boeser I pass guys that look like this on the street everyday. If you look at them the wrong way they’ll spit in your face and tell you to tie their shoes. His flow sprouts and curls like an al dente bucatini—those with Italian mothers will know what I’m talking about. 5.7

Miami Kicker Instant legend. Tightest mullet I’ve seen since Jagr’s rookie year. This guy needs to rocket straight to the pros. He just has a quiet confidence to him that will ultimately propel him to the Hall of Fame. I don’t care about the 1/3 Orange Bowl showing. 8.4

David. Not gonna bullshit ya, Kid has a nice head of hair. Really nice length with natural moisture- doesn't even need product to tame it. I wish he owned a comb though. 4.1
