Well, we all have our off days.
But the James Stephens clubman has carved out a niche for himself as a bit of a hurling fashionisto and he was signed up last year as an ambassador for hurling championship sponsors Littlewoods.
The Sunday Game studio has become something of a catwalk in recent years. with tuxedos, dickie bows and all manner of menswear-sponsored get-ups appearing on Ireland's flagship sports show.
With this in mind, Tyrrell went bald-headed for his League Sunday bow alongside Liam Sheedy.

Smart blue suit, dark waistcoat, white shirt and autumnal tie (yeah, we said autumnal). So slick was Tyrrell's ensemble he decided to forego socks.
This did not go unnoticed by his former Kilkenny team-mate Delaney on Monday's GAA Hour Hurling show, while Damien Hayes also weighed in with a view on Tyrrell's lack of socks.
"I have to say, I don't understand the concept of no socks. he would want to be careful, he will surely catch a flu," said Hayes.
"What we're talking about is proper socks," added the former Galway forward. "I am a country fella and we wear socks."
So, there you have it. Does one have to be from an urban area to go without socks?
