I love football
So, I rushed home the other night to watch the football game I had TIVO'd while I was at work. I was anxious to see how Baltimore would fare against a stout Tampa Bay defense. Well, they didn't fare too well.
What was particularly shocking to me was the fact that Baltimore didn't give its hard-running halfback the ball more. I mean, come on, what's the point in having Ida Bernstein on your side if you're not going to use her?
Oops.
Okay, you caught me. I wasn't watching the NFL but the LFL (Lingerie Football League).
Yeah, I know what you're thinking and trust me, I've been called a lot worse by a lot better.
Yeah, I discovered the league recently and was shocked at how serious the participants are. It's not powder puff stuff but actual hitting, tackling football.
Obviously, the uniforms are a bit ... unconventional. I didn't know shorts could be that ... uh, short and whoever invented shoulder pads that show off the upper torso area like that should be up for the Nobel Prize in Physics. But the play is surprisingly ... I'm not sure what the word is. It's not what you'd call good football. They throw like girls, after all, but it's competitive and dare I say, entertaining.
Would it be as entertaining if they wore standard football gear? Would Playboy be as popular without the centerfold?
The thing is, I do like the games. I like the fact that most of the players are actual athletes who played tennis, softball, track, lacrosse, rugby, basketball, etc. at the collegiate level. I like the fact that they hit and talk trash. I like the enthusiasm of the fans and the seriousness of the announcers, including former ESPN talking head Sean Saulsbury. I also enjoy the touchdown celebrations, which make anything Chad Ochocinco thought about doing look really tame.
I'm a guy. I like football. I like attractive women. Gee. attractive women playing football?
Why not?
It's not bad. In fact, it's pretty good. I just wish Baltimore would give Ida Bernstein the ball a little more. When she runs over a defender she looks just like Larry Csonka - if Larry Csonka was really pretty and wearing short shorts and a halter top.
