Chiefs - Least attractive NFL team
 

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.

LMAO Well, they match up well with our cheerleaders.

Are we sure they didn't see our cheerleaders and just assume that they were the players?

Yeah, Jamaal Charles is ugly.

You know, I should actually check the official site before I start dogging on them. Perhaps they've improved.

EDIT: Nope.

Pretty sure Shawn Barber holds a place on the squad.

Sounds like CBS News should stick to news.

Neither is Bowe. My wife always makes fun of his teeth

Well Shit!! See what happens when Croyle leaves. KC gets ugly.

Where's luv? She's bound to have a thing or two to say about Ryan Succop

If they can't win the beauty contest, maybe they can win a football game or two.

Ugly Will

By the way, here's Ryan Fitzpatrick

Duhrpa duhr dawwwww coach gay sez I look guhd wit da ladies

In the abstract, sure. But factor in vast differences in charisma and income, and it's no contest who pulls hotter tail.

He would not do well in the "Would You?" thread.

Didn't he go to Harvard?

Cassel is dreamy:

FYP

I wonder if the females miss Johnny Morton LOL

None of them would do well in yours, since they all weigh more than 70 pounds.

Lowest payroll = least attractive?

It's too bad that we don't have Grbac on our team anymore. We could have won this contest with him alone!

One of the funniest Chiefs stories ever.

I know! I can't help but post that picture/article as often as I can because it is so funny and ridiculous.

the funniest part is that it was a mixup...they were supposed to do it on rich gannon

I would like to hear that story. So they booked a photoshoot with the wrong quarterback? Did they not realize the team had more than one?

I didn't realize that looks helped play the game...

Here ya go...

No, our cheerleaders have squarer jaws.

Maybe that explains Marty putting Grbac in for the playoffs. He was just confused about who was the actual QB.

I think the study actually uncovers part of the "right 53" formula.

They're not good at that either.

I was laughing. Now I'm mad.

CBS News and the WSJ? :facepalm:


Keep this crap on GQ.



:facepalm::facepalm::facepalm:

Well, our hottness factor went up 10-fold when Shaun signed with Tennessee.

That is hilarious, I didn't know that. At the time, I couldn't figure out how Elvis had won that honor, now I know. It makes a lot more sense, thanks.

we have the cutest kicker

This has to be the dumbest bit of 'news' i've seen all day. I guess CBS was having a hard time coming up with something.

ugly is better .. left alone ....

Ladies, don't despair. Our Sporting KC soccer team makes up for this. LMAO

FTR, Tyler Palko, with his long hair, isn't bad to look at. Neither is Matt Cassel.

OMG DREAMY

Oh, and don't forget about Dick Stanzi, our Green Eyed QB

He looks like America. And America looks pretty damn good

Would you rather have pretty boys or have this lining up for your team and scaring the shit out of opposing players???

Explain to me how we lose to Seattle with these guys on the team?

Suzy Kolber wasn't a lesbian until she had to do a couple of Chiefs games.

Holy shit, actors in Klingon make-up look less like a Klingon than the guy in the bottom photo.

LMAO:LOL:LMAO:LOL: wow that guy looks reeruned

Marshawn Lynch doesn't?

I think we should trade Jamaal Charles. Otherwise we're never gonna win this competition.

He just looks messed up. The other guy looks like a giant version of Beavis.

wow that's one ugly dude right there..
Marshawn Lynch? LMAO

This is how I imagine grown up billay. You know the resemblance is uncanny, don't lie.

P'Tak! LMAO:LOL:

awesome DBowe sig Man.

WTF....corky had a kid?

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.

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.

Not if you compare him to Al Davis.

Holly shit. My wife asked her parents for The Mask one year. They sent us Mask. This has to be the dude.

Not sure if this is what Rain Man meant by twins, but this guys has a twin brother on the Raiders I think.

Let me guess...the Seahawks guy's first name is Dumb...and the raiders guy's first name is Dumber?

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

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

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.

Looks more like Viggo the Carpathian to me.
