Is Hair a Factor in NFL Players' Performance?

A new study was released, which examined the correlation between NFL players' hair and their performance. If you have a minute to check it out, it's worth a read: http://www.westcoastshaving.com/gridiron-grooming-football-hair.html (by West Coast Shaving).

Some findings from the report:

• The Chicago Bears are the most bald team in the NFL, at 12.73%. Coincidentally, the Bears 
• The Kansas City Chiefs have the most facial hair of any other team, at 98.39%.
• Quarterbacks tend to perform better with facial hair, than without. According to the average QB rating from last year, they performed 12% better with five o'clock shadows than when clean shaven.

Of course, as a hair transplant surgeon, I'm most interested in the correlation between baldness and performance. Here's how the 'most bald' teams fared in their divisions last year:

Team:                      Baldness:           Division Ranking:

Chicago Bears           12.73%              2nd
Arizona Cardinals      10.71%              3rd
Tennessee Titans       10.53%              2nd
Pittsburgh Steelers     8.93%               2nd
Indianapolis Colts       8.82%               1st

Jessica Simpson's "Hottie" - Combover?

Pop star Jessica Simpson said she's in her first real "healthy relationship," this time with former NFL tight end Eric Johnson. But after looking at recent pictures of the happy duo, it appears Johnson has some hairline recession up top - and, worse, he tries to hide it with a poorly advised combover/Caesar cut. Yikes! Time to throw a penalty flag on this one.


Looks like its time to consider medical treatment with finasteride (Propecia) or other fda-approved treatment if he's going to stop the recession.
