MATT STAFFORD WOULD LIKE A HAT IN SIZE SEXTRA LARGE
This photo is slightly old cheese, but we’d like to note one thing here: while the rest of you were gawking at Stafford’s harem, you may not have noticed the hat. The tremendous, pillbox-sized cloth igloo sitting backwards on his head, a hat large enough to bathe a toddler in should you need to, a noggin cozy so tremendous that holding it out a car window would likely flip anything but the sturdiest of automobiles. We’ve only seen Stafford sans chapeau a few times, but if his head really is that huge, then he’s worth 15 yards per play in the NFL already, as any waving of the arms by defenders within ten yards will result in a roughing the passer penalty. That’s a $41.7 million planetoid with its own atmosphere; should Stafford ever be ejected into the cold depths of space, he could survive for three days on his own supply of rich oxygen surrounding his skull.
Summarized: his head is huge. He seems to be doing well, though, for someone whose progeny would easily split a birthing mother in two.

Hate to burst your bubble Orson, but up until last year, on-field baseball caps like the one Stafford is wearing were quite a bit deeper than your typical hat. His head may indeed have its own gravitational pull, but it probably is not filling that entire hat.

I think Neil Cavuto has him beat. The size of his head on the screen of a 60″ Plasma Tv is the actual size. Stafford may give the Offensive Lineman from LSU, Herman Johnson, a run for his money.

#5–We realize that, but that’s a fitted, and good lord if that’s his size, even perched like a fez on top of his head, that’s still a veritable Atlas Stone he’s got up there.

#5 – New Era (the company that makes the official MLB hats) decided to shrink the 59 FIFTY hat worn on the field. Now MLB teams wear hats that are the same size as the ones gang members and posers have been wearing at jaunty angles for years. I know this because I replaced my old Devil Rays hat (somehow my head had gotten bigger) and was upset to learn that the old style didn’t exist anymore.

I had to look at that pic twice, I’ll take the blond next to Stafford in case of emergency, for buoyancy, and I didnt realize the other blond was looking down, and she looked like Cousin IT at first glance, nuthin but hair and sunglasses for a face….

Good for his big-noggin’d self. This is what Lee Greenwood was singing about – if you’re born genetically superior and a discouragingly vast number of arbitrary dominoes fall into place, you can be whatever you want to be.

It looks like Stafford has managed to domesticate a blonde Titasaurus specimen. Once considered quite rare, sightings of these delightful creatures are becoming routine in warmer climes, especially Miami, and the state of Georgia.

I am guessing that the purple bikini top our buoyant blonde bunny is wearing must be made of teflon to keep from being torn asunder by those massive melons. I think the poor girl next to her is looking down at her own rack (or lack thereof) in shame.

Now that’s a diversified portfolio: Speed (blondes, natch), Endurance (brunettes) and buyancy (Ms. Funbags, playing a dual role). My wife’s comment: “Even when he wears his hat like a douchebag, he still looks like a nice boy.”

the one in the purple is actually a uga cheerleader. she used to play basketball at ramsey with all the guys and was actually pretty decent. i’m not sure if that was the actual skill or just the fact that everyone wanted to guard her. i never knew she was so…blessed.

@31 –
judging from the fact that her facebook picture is a picture of her and stafford together, the offseason blessing idea is certainly plausible. i think a number one overall draft pick might’ve bought himself a gift that benefitted both parties. either that, or sports bras inhibit a lot more than i thought.

It’s like Sputnik. Quite spherical and yet pointy in parts.
But the real question is if we are all seeing the real Pentavirate in this photo. I can’t see Stafford’s wee beady eyes due to the glasses though.
