Chiefs Chiefs - Least attractive NFL team - Page 5

Don't really know what to make of this.

By any statistical measure, the Buffalo Bill are coming off an ugly 2010 season, going 4-12 and finishing last in the AFC East.

But by college researchers' calculations, the Bills are far from ugly - in fact they are the most attractive team in the NFL.

That's right. The Bills have been deemed the handsomest squad in the league, according to a study commissioned by the Wall Street Journal.

The newspaper asked researchers at Ursinus College in Pennsylvania to analyze the facial structure of 320 NFL starters - five players on offense and five on defense. The owner and head coach were also put under the microscope since they were considered by the newspaper to be "two of the most-photographed personalities on any team."

WSJ: The NFL's Best-Looking Team

A computer program sized up the photographs in terms of facial symmetry, which is widely viewed by researchers as a barometer for attractiveness. After scanning the images, the Bills were rated the "hottest" team, while the Kansas City Chiefs were deemed the least attractive.

As the Journal notes, the Bills were awful last year and the Chiefs were a playoff team. So being tall, dark and handsome in real life may actually mean you are overmatched, underwhelming and ugly on the gridiron. As the newspaper notes: "Teams with particularly attractive players might be guilty of favoring people who are more presentable than talented. Jennifer VanGilder, a professor of business economics at Ursinus who oversaw the research, said the lure of hiring pretty faces is unconscious. 'People are drawn to more symmetrical objects.'"

Amazingly, quarterbacks did not rate as the most attractive in the study. That distinction actually went to kickers. So step aside Tom Brady, Mark Sanchez and Drew Brees. The ladies actually prefer Stephen Gostkowski, Nick Folk and Garrett Hartley.

Twins, actually.

The good thing about being twins in this case is that you will never be the ugliest guy around.

Brian Waters carried us for so long, he was such a handsome man. I knew losing him would hurt.

It's Mccluster's fault. Brothers with dregs look like the Predator to me.

**RealSNR** · 09-08-2011, 08:18 PM

I think I know why. THey count team owners as part of the team.

Clark Hunt is an ugly, ugly, man.

Stephen Smith must be the gayest sports reporter ever. If he is looking for the most attractive team during the NFL opening week.

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

I like my coffee hot, my beer cold, and my football players ugly.

Otter · 09-09-2011, 07:08 AM

Off the top of my head we have:

Matt Cassell
Eric Berry

and a bunch or average looking guys. It's not like that dude from "Mask" is playing center, who's bringing down the curve? Nonsense I say.

To be serious about it....

It's not grading features, it's grading how similar one half of the face is to the other.

I find the criteria a bit dubious to label 'attractiveness'. They didn't poll a bunch of women (the only accurate gauge)... they had a machine measure symmetry. A guy could look like a donkey, but as long as the two sides are symmetrical they'll get a better rating. They'll still be symmetrically ugly though.

This demoralized the team.

I think you are right. Ugly is as Ugly does.

I wonder if these people will conclude that there is a positive correlation between attractiveness and winning.... you know since they reportedly use such gigantic data sets.
