The Patriots QB was all smiles at the start of the event, and he couldn't stop giggling. Part of that may have been because his wife, Ann Michael Maye, was the one holding the clippers, and she started the shave by going right down the middle of his head.

Ann Michael eventually passed the razor off, and the rest of Maye's head was shaved. There is plenty of time before the season for his hair to grow back, and the QB is likely now just hoping that it does grow back.
