Our friends at Gelf Magazine point out the newest trend in newspaper sports columnists column photos: The full body shot!

This is the Cincinnati Enquirer's Paul Daugherty, not a bad columnist, really, all decked up in his Sunday best for his mug shot. It's all here, folks: The pseudo-Cosby sweater, the poorly cut denim, the work boots and, of course, the rather awkward solution to the "what do I do with my hands?" problem.

Most terrifying thing about this? On Enquirer's columnist page, you have the option to "ZOOM." Uh, no thanks, actually.
