Since I was expecting to find a picture of female Cardinals fan with an actual goatee — like they'd be that hard to find in St. Louis (/hearty chortle) — I wasn't planning on linking to Joe SportsFan's fan of the week. 

But since so much of the blogosphere is already agog over the sight of this face-painted Aaron Miles fan, I thought, what the heck? If the readers want pictures of a goateed woman, then you give them the goateed woman.

Wonder if P.T. Barnum ever said that?
