Can't believe this hasn't been mentioned, especially given the "victim" here:

Dez Bryant wouldn't carry shoulder pads. But Tebow is putting up with a little more severe hazing in Broncos camp.
Looks like the vets gave him a haircut yesterday.

I like it. I think they call it the Friar Tuck look. Hell, I may sport one.

It is the Friar Tuck look and, meat, a co-worker of mine said the same thing.
Said it was "appropriate' that Jesus had a crown of throns.

God bless him for being a good sport about this.

Can anyone remember anything this severe in the way of camp hazing? This is a whole lot more than just singing the Alma Mater.

At New Orleans Saints camp in 1998(?), rookies had to "run a gantlet" in the dark down the hall of the players' dorm as veterans hit them with pillows and other objects. Linebacker Andre Royal, one of the most criminally menacing players I ever had the joy of interviewing, decided to hit the rookies in the face with a sock full of quarters. He was traded to the Colts not long after that.

Yep. I remember that. Is he dead yet or what?

I actually saw him shooting pool at a sports bar in Tuscaloosa about a year ago. Kept waiting for him to crack his pool cue over someone's head for no reason.

He might be too mean to die.

it's only hair, this is nothing compared to what used to happen.
 
I went to high school with Brent Burnstein, who played for Arizona State and left Titans camp his rookie year in 1997 or 98 because he didn't let the veterans shave his long hair. Funny thing about him was he had short hair when I went to high school.
 
Supposedly the late Jerome Brown used to have a bullwhip in his locker and crack it at rookie punters and kickers while saying intimidating phrases as if that was necessary. I can believe it.

Maybe if he wasn't an asshole with a bullwhip, karma wouldn't have driven his car into a tree.

Wow.
 
I understand they do the same thing to new employees at IBM.

One day an owner or GM or coach is going to say, "Hey, we're not going to do this stupid **** any more."

I'll bet the league will survive.
