Ladies running around in lingerie tackling each other on national television?

Yes that’s right! You probably all remember the pay per view Super Bowl halftime show in 2004, when 2 teams of models were matched up against each other to battle in out in what was known as the Lingerie Bowl. Well since then it has become so popular that the league is launching a 10 team franchise that is set to play games starting in fall of 2009 (which will air on cable TV no less).

Currently there are just four teams, the Tampa Bay Breeze, Miami Caliente, Los Angeles Temptation, and the Phoenix Scorch. These 4 will go head to head the night before the Super Bowl down in Tampa, FL for Lingerie Bowl VI. You can actually buy tickets to it on their website, www.lingeriebowl.com.

These 4, along with the 6 new teams will then start preparing for the first official 10 game season. Games will be played on Friday nights so they do not interfere with college and pro games… what better way to extend your football weekend? Here's the lineup:

Western Conference Teams:                           Eastern Conference Teams:

-San Diego Seduction                                         -Chicago Bliss

-Los Angeles Temptation                                    -New England Euphoria

-Seattle Mist                                                       -Atlanta Steam

-Phoenix Scorch                                                 -Tampa Breeze

-Dallas Desire                                                     -Miami Caliente

The more I read about this league, the more I like it! I wonder if I could play for the IWFL in the spring and the LFL in the fall? Of course it is hard to believe that the Lingerie League would be as serious or as competitive as the league I’m in now… but how fun! My question is, would you guys actually come to a game?

I went ahead and sent an email to the “Interested Players” link on the website just in case I decide that it would be a good idea. Can’t hurt right? I’ll keep you updated on how that goes.

The rest of the week:

Brewers are at Cincinnati, Badgers have a bye, and of course, the big Packers/Cowboys game Sunday night. With both teams 2-0 this will be a showdown! I actually had to turn down tickets to the game because Sunday is also the date of this year’s Miss WI USA Pageant…I can’t believe it either. Who schedules these things!?!? I’ll still be watching from a sports bar in Madison though.

As much as I love the Packers, and keeping in mind that they have never lost to Dallas at Lambeau, I have to go with the Cowboys winning a close game.

With Woodson and Grant sitting out of practice, even when they do play Sunday I don’t think they’ll be 100%. Our defense still has a few kinks to work out and this doesn’t help.

I hope the Packers prove me wrong though!
