Funny story about Gordon Beckham

Fezejvsvncjxhtd

I was laughing at comments I read yesterday about Gordon Beckham's hair, because he looks like every guy who ever went to my high school. Then I figured out (by reading the AJC today) that he did go to my high school (Westminster in Atlanta). Then I figured out he's the son of my first grade teacher - she was pregnant at the start of the year and didn't come back after Christmas break because she had her baby... who turned out to be Gordon Beckham.

Nice!

His dad is a former starting QB at South Carolina too.

As for the hair, being familiar with the area and those types of kids, I hear ya but there are much worse examples. The whole Georgia team has a serious “Bama Bangs” problem going on. Ex-UGA star Brooks Brown was a particularly egregious offender in my book.

heres a good one

ex-Florida and UNC fratstar Andy Gale (the son of an MLBer, his promising career never happened due to injuries) had some serious frat hair going on.

that's beautiful.

of course, i’m one to talk – my hair used to look like that too.

that kid went to exeter? that’s an even preppier school than westminster!

um

I don’t really care.
No one is saying we think Beckham is a tool (im his number one damn fan!), it is just fun getting a giggle out of that funny hairdo that all upper-middle class southern boys seem to rock in college

Relax Jsmall

It is just a laugh about the picture. Also, I’m not sure what ‘speaking english’ has to do with anything.
