Tom Brady debuts ponytail in Rio de Janeiro

Oh, no! This is a disaster. No, we're not talking about another Charlie Sheen rant -- it's all about Tom Brady's ponytail. Yes, ponytail.

New England Patriots quarterback Brady was spotted in Rio de Janeiro with his wife, Gisele Bundchen, and a tiny, greasy-looking ponytail at the nape of his neck. Yes, Mr. Metrosexual himself was spotted with a less-than-perfect coif.

We're not mad -- just disappointed.

We probably should have seen this coming -- Brady sported a shaggy 'do for much of the football season. Fellow players and journalists even dubbed him Tom Bieber, thanks to his Justin Bieber-esque look.

Something tells us that Bundchen had something to do with Brady's style evolution -- she seemed to enjoy looking at him while extravagant Carnival activities played out around them.

Is the long look just around until football season rolls around? We sure hope so -- we'll take the short 'do and dimples over long hair any day.
