I wear a beard in the offseason, and keep clean shaven once the season (football, basketball, or baseball) starts. Which basically means I get to have the beard in June, July and the first half of August (I don't work summer baseball), and for a couple of weeks between seasons.
Used to wear a beard in my first years of doing football, until a few of the "guys I look up to" gave me the "I'm not saying you need to get rid of the beard, but..." talk.
As for wedding rings... I take mine off if I remember to do so before i get out of my car. Not because anyone around here cares, I do it because my ring is a bit loose on my finger and I don't want to accidentally lose it during a basketball (or worse, football) game.
