Actor Rob Lowe doesn’t seem to age—and he doesn’t seem to root for any specific NFL team.
The longtime Hollywood man has added intrigue to an otherwise boring NFC Championship game when he was snapped wearing a generic “NFL” hat.
Almost simultaneously, the internet noticed Lowe’s wardrobe choice, pointing out that his hat just says, N-F-L.
Known for such roles as “He’s the one who played saxophone” and “Tommy Callahan’s nemesis,” Lowe has taken a very diplomatic road here, keeping his simple joy of American football at the forefront while squashing any reason for either the 49ers or Packers fan base to act out in a rage of betrayal.
Internet Cosmos Update: Even Lowe is surprised by the amount of shine his hat choice has received.
Speaking of the internet and rage and betrayal, Boyz II Men caused a stir during this game, too, singing the national anthem…wearing San Francisco stuff. What? How? Why?! Many Philadelphia-based residents (and beyond) have pointed out that the Men are, in fact, from Philly. So, why would they do this—to the fan base, to the city, to earth?!
Obviously, they’re entertainers, so you can’t fault them for taking the gig—one that they absolutely nailed, by the way. But perhaps they should have been more discreet about what they wore to the game? (See: Rob Lowe.)
In both cases, though, you have to tip your hat to the pop culture juggernauts for providing some entertainment (distractions) while the 49ers continue dismantling Green Bay.
The only thing we can do now is wait for the Richard Sherman-Erin Andrews interview.
