" Much has changed in sports since Bob Costas started reporting on them back in the early eighties \u2014 but his hair isn&amp;#039;t one of them. And that&amp;#039;s a good thing, according to Elle Medico, a men&amp;#039;s stylist at Paul Labrecque salon. &amp;quot;He has that perfect, versatile, All-American cut,&amp;quot; she says. To get this look, tell your barber you want a &amp;quot;graduated square cut,&amp;quot; where the hair is left at least two inches longer on top with a natural part. Costas wears his at a more casual, medium length \u2014 two-and-a-half inches on top, tapered down to about an inch by the ears and neck. Just wash and shape by running your hands through it \u2014 no product necessary. If you want it to skew a bit younger, you can also style the cut with more modern undertones by having it cut to a shorter length and adding some gel or a polishing pomade while it&amp;#039;s wet. Then either brush or comb according to your part to create a look that&amp;#039;s a bit more Ryan Gosling.    Either way, it&amp;#039;s a cut that suits all guys. If your face is on the rounder side, though, keep the sides a bit tighter to square things out. It&amp;#039;s a bit harder to emulate if you&amp;#039;ve got very curly or extremely thick hair, as you&amp;#039;ll face a few, uh, hurdles when trying to replicate that crisp, clean part. This is part of a new series where we help you steal the best haircuts of our time. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
