Landon Donovan was told new hair transplant wouldn't show up on TV. Part of it was missing.
Published in Soccer
"Had a hair transplant procedure two weeks ago and was told it wouldn't show up on camera," Donovan wrote.
Magee responded, "Who told you that Rafa Marquez?!," referring to the Mexican soccer legend and Donovan's former on-field rival.
Donovan sent back three laughing emojis and one that's NSFW.
When Magee asked if he could post their text thread, Donovan responded, "Whatever, I deserve it."
Donovan proved to be even more of a good sport Tuesday morning, when he replied to Magee's tweet with a photo of himself from years ago, when he sported a glorious curly mullet on the top of his head.
"Thanks for putting me on blast Mo," Donovan said in reference to Magee. "Just trying to get back to my glory days."
Donovan isn't the first sports broadcaster to publicly discuss having undergone a procedure in an attempt to bolster a receding hairline. Then-Fox and current ESPN announcer Joe Buck described himself as "a hair-plug addict" in his 2016 memoir.
Donovan and Darke are slated to call the Spain-Italy match on Thursday. Perhaps Donovan will further address the hairy matter at that time — or maybe he will just wear a hat.
