Tom Brady Sporting New Hairdo, Shows Up at Rio Carnival With a Ponytail

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has a ponytail.

Yep, that's right. Brady finally ditched the whole Justin Bieber thing, so that's good. But he exchanged it for a strange version of Val Kilmer's unfortunate mid-career crisis, and that's not exactly awesome.

So, in March 2011, what is more unsettling, Brady's three-game postseason losing streak, or the fact that he ties his hair together with a scrunchie? Ah, a debate that will paralyze the greatest of minds and drain water coolers across New England.
