MR chimes in with a quick note:

I’m surprised that this hasn’t been mentioned yet: The Niners are growing throwback mustaches for this week.

Indeed, they are! What fun. From ESPN.com:

In a tribute to the facial fuzz that was, members of the San Francisco 49ers are growing mustaches for Sunday’s season finale against the Washington Redskins.

The Niners will be wearing their throwback uniforms on Sunday, and members of the team have been inspired by photos of the team’s greats — many of them sporting facial hair — displayed at the team’s facility in Santa Clara, Calif.

The offensive line initiated the effort, and quarterback Shaun Hill has joined in.

“Today is Mustache Monday,” Hill said of the effort, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. “It’s for the throwback game. Every day we go to meetings and we go by these beautiful pictures and we admire these guys’ mustaches.“

Mike Singletary, you are a mad genius.
