Legendary quarterback Drew Brees made his debut as an analyst for NBC Sports for Thursday night's season opener between the Cowboys and Bucs -- and, evidently, so did his new hairdo.
The 42-year-old future Hall of Famer, working alongside host Mike Tirico and fellow analyst Tony Dungy, was sporting a neatly cropped fade with a short tuft of hair combed over on top during his appearances on-set at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa.
And, according to many users on social media, Brees' new 'do was not only a shade or two darker than what he sported in recent years, but it also looked to have been, shall we say, "enhanced" in some way.
The questionable look spurred a flurry of chatter on Twitter, including all manner of ridiculous jokes and memes.
