It is brutal that men have to deal with things like bald spots. It wasn't a put down, as someone who dealt with a receding hairline at an early age I can sympathize.

Lol do you tell your extended family member about their brutal facial birth mark at family gatherings too? Just an observation means it's harmless right?

For a community that is probably >30% grandparent aged, it surprises me how little tact we have sometimes.

I just hope people are kinder IRL.

Is Elliote Friedman on the board here? If so I apologize if my observation offended him. Remind me to come down hard on you if you comment on anything you can relate to.

Man it's a dick comment. Period. Do you think he chose to start balding? You don't think he knows it's happening? Just move on.

Heh...When I was an 18yo college freshman (1975), I went to a local hairdresser school to get a discount haircut. The chick cutting my hair was HOT, but, she no sooner started cutting, when she started complaining that my hair was just too damn thin on top. How deflating. I was looking like a Dominican Friar, by the time I was 19.



It still hurts!


I do laugh at the OT result...does this mean that the parade is off again?

Speaking of dick you obviously chose to take what I wrote out of context even after I explained why I said it was brutal. So yes let's move on now that we have that cleared up.

I feel your pain man. Losing hair sucks! I would even say it's brutal but some posters might try and twist that into something it isn't.

Jeeze the ESPN guys are fawning all over EDM. Their PBP guy sounds like Michaels. This is a national broadcast. Feel bad for LA fans.
The Kings, like most US teams, have a regional telecast for the 1st round.

Yes, without a doubt they would do that for Vancouver.

Friedman should be embarrassed how he looks 95% of the time on television. How does his wife let him dress like that?
