It's a strange thing about ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. that he's known almost as much for his hair as he is for his draft analysis.

There have been too many Mel Kiper hair jokes to count in the 30 years or so that he's been America's foremost draft analyst, but on Saturday The Sports Hernia came up with an original one, trading Kiper's hair for that of ESPN's other draft analyst, Todd McShay.

And then something amazing happened: ESPN not only laughed along with the joke, but put it on SportsCenter. Between this and Chris Berman referencing his YouTube fame, ESPN may be learning that the best way to deal with being laughed at by blogs is to laugh along with them.
