It is well beyond time for the San Francisco Giants' Brian Wilson to shave his beard and cut his hair. It's simply not funny anymore. In fact, it never really was.
The dye job is atrocious. The sculpting is bizarre. And the flair and attitude that accompany the style is flat-out annoying.
As bad as Wilson's hair and beard combo is, it's nowhere near the worst. Here is the start of a list of the worst (or best?) hairstyles in sports history.
I say it's a start because I like to allow you readers to contribute on pieces like this. After you look at all the slides for yourself, tell me who else belongs by leaving a comment below.

The "Birdman" has had a number of ridiculous looks during his career. This season's look was mind-blowing.
Jaromir Jagr
Phenomenal.
David Beckham
Beckham's had a few bad looks, but this is inexcusable.
Dennis Rodman
In case you couldn't tell, Dennis Rodman is the one with the sunglasses.
Mike Commodore
I think this is just awesome. You have to love the way he just owns that deep auburn hue.
Alexi Lalas
Lalas's hair and beard is some kind of brilliant combination of soccer and hockey style.
Steve Nash

I think Steve Nash's habit of licking his fingers and using that saliva to paste his hair to his head is causing some trauma for his scalp.
The balding look is not helping what was already a wild 'do.
Wayne Gretzky
Oh, the hockey mullet. Timeless.
Brian Bosworth
With style like that, putting on the helmet had to really tear him up.
Anderson Varejao

I get it Anderson, I do. With your hair the way it is, your flops are much more dramatic and get you get more ridiculous calls. But it's time to cut it off.
Kurt Rambis
NBA basketball player? Truly a different era.
I would like to start a petition for Gordon Hayward to bring back this look.
Sasha Vujacic

This one's the same story as Varejao.
Joakim Noah

I don't know if Noah has some kind of emotional connection to his locks or what. Somebody may have to "mullet hunt" him so he doesn't have a say in the matter.

I still don't think this guy got a fair shake in the NBA. Go ahead, let me have it.
Jack Sikma
Sometimes it was straight. Sometimes it was Timberlake-curly. Most times it defied logic.
Andrei Kirilenko

AK-47 has had some outrageous looks, but this season he reached new depths.
Mike Miller
Mike Miller's current mohawk is tough. But it's an upgrade over this and that old ponytail he used to rock.
Brian Wilson

Just cut it already. It's not funny.
Michal Handzus
Hockey 'dos are the best.
Mel Kiper
In terms of hairstyles, there's a fine line between awful and genius.
Ronaldo
The Brazilian striker did himself no favors with this.
Tim Lincecum
I'm pretty sure I've seen this exact hairstyle on half a dozen female television stars from the late '90s.
Andre Agassi
He said it was a wig in his book. That being the case, it's time to pull that thing out of the closet.
Scot Pollard
Sheer desperation.
Randy Johnson
As if Randy Johnson's height as a pitcher wasn't intimidating enough.

Obviously, there are a ton more terrible (brilliant) hairstyles to display. Some major ones have been left off intentionally.
