Football & Lingerie

[Seattle Zack]

Oh! Will this horrendous oppression of women never stop?

-------------------
LOS ANGELES -- Even as I write this, Martha Burk is probably setting up a picket line around the stadium.

In what is billed as the first annual Lingerie Bowl, model/actresses will play a 7-on-7 "tackle'' football game in their underwear during halftime of the Super Bowl. The Lingerie Bowl website shows the two squads, Team Euphoria and Team Dream, wearing "uniforms" of matching lace-trimmed bras, panties and garters, with the players' numbers sewn over the left bra cups. Former Sports Illustrated swimsuit babe and ex-Sylvester Stallone fiancé Angie Everhart is the captain of one team. Model/actress Nikki Ziering captains the other.

And to think, we used to get excited about Spuds MacKenzie and the Bud Bowl. A Lingerie Bowl with model/actresses? If Vince McMahon had thought of this, the XFL would still be around.

"It's all about having good, clean fun," Lawrence Taylor said. "There are 250,000 channels, and we have to give people an alternative to watch."

Taylor is the Team Euphoria coach, and Eric Dickerson is the Team Dream coach. Sure, the Lingerie Bowl might seem a little borderline at first ... er, blush. But as long as L.T. is involved, you know this is going to be nothing but class.

We just wonder if Angie can throw the 15-yard down-and-out.

I should point out that the Lingerie Bowl appears to have no official connection with the actual Super Bowl. It's strictly a pay-per-view event ($20) that is being marketed as substitute viewing to the Super Bowl's standard halftime show. Because you know the NFL would never be involved with a project that doesn't treat women with the utmost respect and dignity. At the very least, the league would require them to wear Go-Go boots with their hotpants.

While you take a break now to place an order with your cable operator, I'll just wait here and ponder some of the pressing questions surrounding the Lingerie Bowl. Questions such as:

What playing surface does the Lingerie Bowl use? Natural grass, artificial turf or Jell-o?

Will the game's organizers test for implants? If so, can I help?

Will they fine players for not wearing their fishnet stockings high enough?

Are there incentive bonuses for making the All-Frederick's of Hollywood Team?

And most importantly, should we refer to this as Lingerie Bowl I, Lingerie Bowl 2004 or Lingerie Bowl 38C?

Or, come to think of it (and with all apologies to that college game in the Bay Area), wouldn't it be more accurate to call this the Silicone Valley Bowl?

I'm just disgusted. You can read Jim Caple's whole article here (with pictures, too!)

I've never understood the appeal of the catfight, although it seems to be popular enough with a lot of men.

"Halftime entertainment" has always been pretty much an oxymoron anyway. Will this be better or worse than 15 minutes of "Up With People"?

What can I say? Sex sells...I think the Superbowl is the most overrated trash on TV. I never watch, I mean 6 hours of pre-game? Give me a break! I actually think this stunt it's kind of pathetic...but I know I'm in the minority.

Like PS, I watch the SuperBowl solely for the commercials. I tend to grade papers during the game.

My very favorite SuperBowl commercial of all time can be found here: Cat Herding

EDS also did a hilarious commercial the next year called "The Running of the Squirrels". So far I haven't found the actual commercial. It isn't as funny as Cat Herding, anyway.

Edit: Hmm, the squirrels spot might be here, though I'm not sure. I have creepy-crawly dial-up, so I haven't downloaded it to see...

I've been writing about football and lingerie for years in my "Silverbridge" series about the Silver Vixens Ladies Soccer Team.

Do the organisers read Literotica? Can I sue?

I miss the afternoon Super Bowls. It was back when we were what I call 'married and single'. Most of our friends were also married. None of us had kids. So our time was much more our own. Super Bowl Sunday was always a get together at someone's house with lots of food. Most of the ladies abandoned us in favor of a shopping trip. We watched the game. Sometimes we even did some projects during commercials.

One year it was at our house and I was finishing the plumbing on a new upstairs bathroom. We got it all done. One of my friends that was helping attempted to stand up and forgot that what he was trying to use as a floor was the dining room ceiling. I got it patched before the ladies returned. But it was a sand painted ceiling so it would be months before I had time to fix it properly.

My wife says she doesn't miss the afternoon Super Bowls the way I do.

I must have forgot to watch the last one. I bet I will some how miss this one too.
They are already selling tickets in Jax for 2005. Let me check my scedule. Yup, I knew it I am giving the cat his bath on that day. Darn and I so wanted to go too.
