NFL hotties, notties? Study picks best-looking team
Which NFL team is tops? It's too early in the season to know which team plays best, but a whimsical new study purports to show which team is best-looking. For the Wall Street Journal study, researchers from Ursinus College in Collegeville, Pa. used a computer program to analyze facial symmetry of 10 players from each team, along with the coach and owner. Previous research has linked facial symmetry to attractiveness.
The study put the Buffalo Bills at the top of the handsome heap, with the Kansas City Chiefs at the bottom of the pile.
Do the results seem fair? Or do you think the researchers should be penalized for a personal foul?
