Stylin’ or wildin’? We can’t really say, but we do know CB’s neckwear choice is just the latest in the long history of memorable bow ties. Take a look back at a few classic examples, as judged by our patented Louis Farrakhan rating system (because he’s the master of the bow tie, obviously). Bow down to the kings, suckas!

ALFALFA, CIRCA 1938
• Alf rocks the BT just fine (we dig the suspenders even more), but loses major, major, major points for using Cameron Diaz’s There’s Something About Mary hair gel.
RATING:

KANYE WEST, 2009
• Yes, a snappy BT is an official part of the gay fish uniform.

DAVID BECKHAM, 2008
• “I’ll have the filet, and for the lady, the lobster bisque with… Oh, I’m sorry, you’re not our waiter?”
RATING:

JOHN LEGEND, 2008

PEE WEE HERMAN, CIRCA 1988

RATING:

SENATOR PAUL SIMON
• An eloquent voice for liberal values for decades who was totally ignored ’cause he wore a silly tie. Well, either that or ’cause half of America thinks his successor as Illinois’s U.S. Senator is a Muslim.
RATING:

PLAYBOY BUNNIES, CIRCA 2000

Posh Spice's boy, David Beckham will lace up these low-run gold-dipped Predators' in tonight's game, a special make-up color way that was made exclusively for Becks' trillion-dollar feet. Eurosport is stocking 2,000 pairs of the boots, and Dick's Sporting Goods is shelving take-down versions with lower price points, if you’re footballin’ on a budget.

But we (like Kansas City) were stumped this weekend when Beckham capped off the 3-1 beating with a 70-yard half field goal straight from '96. The KC Wizards should have known better than to leave their goal more exposed than a socialite’s cooch with the veteran footballer around. The impressive play had us reminicing on some of Becks’ other great goals from his 16 year career. Watch 5 of the best (including his most recent feat) after the jump.
