Pittsburgh Steelers DE Brett Keisel’s Awesome Playoff Beard

Pittsburgh Steelers Defensive End Brett Keisel has been growing his beard since last June and it has grown into something of a monster. A wild, out-of-control-but-awesome monster.

Keisel has no plans on shaving while the Steelers are still in the playoffs. “I’m going to ride it out until the end.”

It’s taken on a life of it’s own. It’s got it’s own Facebook page and an entry on Keisel’s Wikipedia page.
