I can’t grow a legit beard. It pisses me off every day. Goatee? Sure. Full beard? Not a chance.
So when I see guys who normally have a babyface grow out some stubble that turns into a beautiful beard, I get jealous. Insanely jealous, actually. But, I just can’t get upset at Sixers coach Brett Brown, who was at Eagles practice this morning and who’s also sporting a damn sweet beard that I wish every day I had.
