His name is Ricki Hall – or on Twitter, RickiFuckinHall – and he’s a 27-year old former mechanic from Wolverhampton in northern England. Esquire Weekly has now crowned him with “the most influential haircut in Britain.” So happy he’s supplanted follicularly-challenged DavidFuckinBeckham.

A reader nominates Scott Shaw, co-founder of the Oklahoma Volunteer Militia:
Just don’t listen to him talk.
I have a role model.

I’m surprised that Kristofer Hivju, who plays the wildling commander Tormund Giantsbane on Game of Thrones, has not made it into Beard of the Week.
Yes, it has been a lapse. Of all the GoT beards, Hivju’s is easily the Vikingest.
The other kind of daddy beard:
It came from the in-tray:
I’m a long-time Dish reader and wanted to send in a pic of my daughter Layla and myself for BOTW consideration. Thanks!
Swoon:
This dude is seriously hot. Thanks to Redditor Jarofvegemite. From the comments section:
My beard just got a little scared and part just went back into my face in shame.

On baseball’s Opening Day, a little insight into its less well-known past participants: namely, the House of David baseball team, comprised of a group of celibate, devout Jewish men, who took the sport by storm in 1914:
The team traveled throughout the Midwest and East Coast providing audiences with their “barnbuster” style of play. Because teammates refused to cut their hair or shave their beards, they were prohibited from playing in the big leagues. This might have been a blessing in disguise because House of David beat just about every team they played. The team has been credited to winning over 70 percent of its games against semi-pro teams, town teams and the occasional friendly game with a MLB team.
The power of the beard! Update from a reader:
The House of David ballplayers were NOT Jewish; they were an apocalyptic Christian cult/commune.

I thought you might want this as a Beard of the Week. My colleague Matthew Bingley took the photo while covering the World Women’s Curling Championship in Saint John, New Brunswick.
