Tom Brady Now Only Sort of Hot

Mike Mennonno points out a disturbing article in the Wall Street Journal offering scientific evidence that injury machine Tom Brady isn't the hottest quarterback in the NFL. He isn't even in the top five. In a study showing that every starting quarterback in the NFL had a better-than-average facial symmetry, "a trait that shows a strong correlation to a person's perceived attractiveness," Brady's face scored an impressive 99.14% symmetrical—the average face is about 90%—but that was only good enough for 8th place. According to the study, Matt Ryan is the most attractive QB in the league, and Brady loses out to Brett Favre, Matt Hasselbeck, and, um, Ben Roethlisberger. So, if you have Brady on your "fantasy" roster, consider trading high.
