Today Mike Reiss posted a quote from Michael Silver of Yahoo Sports says of Thomas Dimitroff:

“Dimitroff was once one of these behind-the-scenes standouts, a former area scout who’d at first been marginalized because of his counter-culture appearance and vegetarian diet but had risen through the Patriots’ front-office ranks because he turned out to be damn good at what he did. 

So it got me to thinking, what exactly does "counter culture appearance’ mean? I remember Dimitroff from his time from the Pats. The only thing I remember about his was that he looked kinda Russian-y.

So I searched the Google and found some pics to find out what kind of look Dimitroff was rocking that was so far out there.

This is how I remember Dimitroff. A little scruffy and messy haired, but the guy was a scout so I’m sure he was living at Gillette Stadium at the time.  Nothing too crazy.

Look who got promoted! Nice suit. Hair styled. Still nothing out of the ordinary.

Again, average football dude.

Oh boss, you are sooo funny!!

Wait a minute. Hair going full spike everywhere. A half assed mustache coming in. Maybe this is a little counter culture.

Nope. Well spoken, smart dude wearing a polo and khaki shorts. I guess I’m left to believe counter culture is having spiky hair and occasional scruff? And being a vegetarian? I don’t get it.
