SLAM Hair Club For Men?

Rodman, Mason, Artest, Gibson…AND BENGTSON DAMNIT!


Lets keep this brief….AGAIN.

Oct.5 at 3:55 pm

jbn74sb says: Again – You heard it here first. Suns slip this year, GS is out of the playoffs, and Lakers win the Pacific with 50+ wins.

Oct.5 at 3:56 pm

Russ Bengtson says: If the Lakers win 50-plus, I’ll get stars shaved into my head.

Oct.5 at 3:57 pm

Myles Brown says: Russ, is that a promise?

Oct.5 at 3:59 pm

Russ Bengtson says: Yes, that’s a promise. I might shave it all off the next day, but I’m willing to do it. AND post photographic proof.

WELL?!….

    LOL. This is why I never say things like that.

  • http://www.slamonline.com Blinguo

    This > Shaq’s half done, “G.Jefferson” fade.

  • http://hibachi20.blogspot.com Moose

    You better do this. First picture of Russ too, huh?

  • http://www.slamonline.com Justin Walsh

    dang Russ. Walked into this. MAN UP.

  • http://slamonline.com Ben Osborne

    DO IT

  • http://www.slamonline.com Blinguo

    Lang also wants to get him that Psycho T jersey if that pick happens. Russ taking heat from all directions. And that pressure busts pipes or makes diamonds… in your fade.

  • Teddy-the-Bear

    AWESOME. GOGOGOGOGO

  • http://www.hibachi20.blogspot.com Hursty

    DO IT Bengtson. Oh, and anyone who has seen a pic of Russ, knows dude has a LOT of hair.
    *Peer pressure*!

  • http://slamonline.com Lang Whitaker

    For the first time ever, Russ doesn’t have a comment?

  • Hubert

    Slam logo ala Artest. Good marketing tool too.

  • Prentice

    When did he make this prediction? This year? He was the only guy that thought LAL wouldn’t get to 50 wins if it was..

  • http://www.slamonline.com/online/category/blogs/fear/ Freedom Fries

    No biggie Russ, get the starbury stars and then get ready to rock the zinadine short crop look – its all the rage and easier to manage (believe me) – oh and them follicles do grow back ya know.

  • http://www.stonesthrow.com Michael NZ

    Russ was in Kicks one time with Bobbito, no?

  • http://www.shawn-kemps-offspring.blogspot.com Eboy

    This is TWO SEASONS OLD. Just make it happen, Russ.

  • http://www.hibachi20.blogspot.com Hursty

    Man, Eboy is right, this was the 2007 offseason. But, old heads remember weird stuff like that I spose.

  • http://www.manutd.com/ Z

    Gold. Hahahaah. I do NOT believe that Russ hasn’t read this post yet.

  • http://www.shawn-kemps-offspring.blogspot.com/ TADOne

    So he made the same bet two years in a row? Eboy is right, this was from last season. However, he never lived up to the bet from last season either. I’m not holding my breath….

  • http://www.shawn-kemps-offspring.blogspot.com/ TADOne

    But I do like how Myles has pubicly called him out.

  • http://slamonline.com Russ Bengtson

    It’s from one bet. One. And yes, I haven’t followed through yet. And yes, I read this. And yes, it’s going to happen. And yes, I’m going to post a photo when it does. And no, I don’t have “a lot” of hair. I’ve been buzzcutting for years. So maybe people should ease back on talking about what they don’t know. Y’all will see it when you see it. Not shocked at people I don’t know acting like I owe them something, though. Used to that by now.

  • Diesel

    Angry

  • http://www.slamonline.com Myles Brown

    “My name’s Russ Bengtson. Where I’m from? A little town called None Of Your Goddamn Business.”

  • http://www.manutd.com/ Z

    Test much, Russ? You didn’t make a bet over the phone, you didnt make the bet by shaking hands, you posted the bet online. The fact that we don’t know that you have a buzz cut has nothing to do with anything. You are e-punking out and that’s that lol.

  • http://www.slamonline.com Ryan Jones

    In the time that I’ve known him, Russ has done far more embarrassing sh*t to his head than shave some stars into it. Also, he’s got pierced nipples, so the idea of appearance alteration (especially one so temporary) would not phase him in the least.
    All that said, if you don’t know the guy and have never seen him before, why would you give a sh*t? This is not your fifth-grade homeroom, and Russ is not your teacher losing a bet about whether Stevie the Imbecile in the back of the room could manage to make it through the school year without p*ssing his pants in class. Do none of you have lives?

  • http://www.slamonline.com Ryan Jones

    Or maybe that’s just the swine flu talking. I’ve had a long week.

  • http://www.manutd.com/ Z

    Testy*

  • http://www.manutd.com/ Z

    Ryan, you’re acting wayyyyyyyyyy too grown up for a friday afternoon.

  • http://slamonline.com Russ Bengtson

    This is why I’m mostly done posting. The inmates have taken over the asylum. Enjoy!

  • http://slamonline.com Russ Bengtson

    So yes, I’m e-punking out…of everything.

  • http://slamonline.com Russ Bengtson

    So yes, I’m e-punking out of everything. Except for this bet. Which I never said I wouldn’t follow through on. Life just got in the way.

  • http://www.slamonline.com Myles Brown

    :(

  • Michael

    i cant believe this has been brought up 2 years later, who gives a sh*t really, and who is really dying to see a photo of some guy with stars shaved into his head. These comments sections are ruining this site. Guys post a hundred times a day and act like they are part of the slam family or something.

  • http://www.slamonline.com Myles Brown

    Agreed. I honestly posted this just to f*ck with Russ and remind him of our bet since it was Finals eve for the Lakeshow again. But I really didnt stop to think about the comments section. Sigh.

  • Diesel

    I personally don’t care about Russ’s hair, but I do think its dumb of you Ryan to mock people for posting to a website that you guys completley revamped to make poster friendly. If you guys don’t want people involved in your business then don’t post your business on the f*ckin internet you dusch. I don’t know Shaq, but i still thought that picture of his shaved head was funny.

  • http://myspace.com/bodiebarnett jbn74sb

    In any event, I love being right.

  • Max

    Um, I’ve gotten into some heated banter with Myles and Russ on another thread, and I wouldn’t expect anyone to care about what an anonymous commentard like me has to say. Russ obviously doesn’t owe anyone anything, and I certainly couldn’t care less about whether he follows up on a playful bet. But the comments here teasing Russ are so mild they would have been rejected by the screenwriters of a Disney Channel remake of White Men Can’t Jump. Unless “MAN UP” has suddenly become a coded sign for the basest form of insults to someone’s mother, or someone said something vile while clearing their throat and I only heard the cough part of it. (Presumably this was meant to be an inside joke between SLAM guys — cool, just close the comments then)

  • http://myspace.com/bodiebarnett jbn74sb

    Personally, I think you should all let Russ have it.

  • http://www.slamonline.com Ryan Jones

    What’s a dusch? That’s the German word for “German,” isn’t it?

  • http://slamonline.com B. Long

    LMFAO@Ryan.

  • http://www.slamonline.com wayno

    Why is everyone so fussy?

  • http://www.manutd.com Z

    I think the SLAM staffers are really starting to become full of sh!t. Myles, you didn’t think about the comments section? Really… then why didn’t you just send a group e-mail then? Basically, the SLAM staffers love the comments section as long as it is to tell them how awesome the mag is and how nice their writing is. Eff that, how did this become so serious? I’m done with the comments. Bye.

  • http://www.slamonline.com Blinguo

    That’s more proof social networking is wrong, wrong, wrong. I don’t use any of it myself (but missed out on those awesome Hibachi/Shawn Kemp Offspr. blogs until lately). Now who will want to Facebook/Twitter/MogoTxt with you guys now?

  • http://www.slamonline.com Blinguo

    And I think it all went wrong @ post #1, the guy without the blue name and whom no-one probably seen before. & I only use slamonline.com as the link for blue name since nothing else worked in there anymore for me. I can’t just fake one like someone here does w/ “mynameinblue.blogspot.com” or people not even having valid links: “asdf.com,” “/slamonline/”.

    So stop b*tchin’ out and get some blue names too/post more unless you post plenty around here already like a Diesel or chintao and don’t need that fluff. But not if you want to be Eboy #2, 3 or 4; the derivative of the original which is not even close and trying to profit off someone else’s established name.

    & what Z said, that overused Joker quote. why so seriouso?

  • Diesel

    I couldn’t agree more Z. They don’t mind all the comments when it’s beneficial to them and its bringing hits to the site. Russ was in a bad mood so he made an angry post and Ryan thought he could spin it and justify it by asking why people post comments on this website in the first place. Everyone in the Slam office must have had their period hit at the same time…watch out for bears. Ryan-I misspelled a word…great comeback to a valid point though.

  • http://www.shawn-kemps-offspring.blogspot.com Eboy

    This was so silly.

  • airs

    dang.
    some of us here don’t really have lives i guess haha.
