According to studies attractive people get more breaks than those who are not. In the NFL there are those who are perceived as winners while the rest of the teams, like the Rams, are the red-headed stepchild. This subconscious need to reward those who are winners and withhold from those who are seen as losers is part of the human condition. How that factors into the minds of referees is impossible to prove but is deeply ingrained nonetheless. To say that NFL referees are beyond this and totally fair in every game and on every play would be naive.

The Patriots and Broncos have the ugliest uniforms in the league and the Rams the best looking. So how does fit in with Miss Lorenz theory?? Lol

Every theory and study has it weaknesses. Apparently there are ugly winners and attractive losers. :snicker:
