Unfortunately, the terms of the wager involved the Buccaneers covering +3.5 vs the Kansas City Chiefs.<\/p>\n<p>Brady obviously took care of business Sunday night, leaving Merloni with a significant haircut as he said goodbye to his thick dark hair during Monday&#8217;s broadcast of\u00a0<em>Ordway, Merloni and Fauria<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to his haircut, Merloni pointed out that the night before, he showed his wife photos of David Beckham when his head was shaved to try and make her feel better.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, his wife let him know, &#8220;he&#8217;s not Beckham.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Long-time host Glenn Ordway sat back and smiled as one of the producers began shaving Merloni&#8217;s head, with co-host Fauria coming in and finishing things up.  Merloni cursed out Chiefs head coach Andy Reid, clearly blaming him for the loss, which resulted in Merloni&#8217;s hair now falling to the floor in the studio.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a quick
