Where'd they hide the 'stache?

When we have way too much time on our hands, it's fun to check on which Google searches are getting you here. But we don't think anyone will ever top the one from this past weekend: "Rod Black sports mustache." 

We're pretty sure we know why that was. And like millions (or at last dozens) of other Canadians, we're intrigued by exactly the same subject.

See, as fans of '80s baseball and the many, many exemplary porn 'staches that came with it, one redeeming quality of TSN's game crews used to be their truly excellent facial hair. So it was hard enough to come to terms with Glen Suitor shaving his -  even if it was apparently because he realized he looked like Ron Burgundy. (Seriously, we're not making this up - it's right here, along with a fairly pathetic explanation of how he had to ask TSN's permission, and wouldn't be allowed to grow it back.)

But that really didn't prepare us for the first shot of Rod Black amidst Friday night's carnage in Hamilton, which was almost as disturbing as the last time he pulled out a shocker on us. Honestly, we don't want to live in a world in which Rod Black - who even has a decent porn star name, albeit not for a porn star who looks like him - does not sport his trademark 'stache.

We have a strong suspicion, notwithstanding the Burgundy angle, that (not the real) Greg Marshall warned both Suitor and Black that he was going to kick their asses - or at least give them the finger a lot - unless they shaved their vastly inferior mustaches. But we'll get to the bottom of this sooner or later... no matter how embarrassing the Google searches that get us there.

funny subliminal message for Rod... they mention the words 'grow' or 'grown' 3 separate times in that Calgary Sun article.
