Lingerie Bowl VIII: Temptation Defeats Passion
The Lingerie Bowl took place yesterday at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas. The Los Angeles Temptation defeated the Philadelphia Passion 26-25. Don’t be fooled – the game was closer than the score indicates. Former ESPN personality Sean Salisbury was on hand to call the game. So, if you were wondering how he’s doing these days, the answer is, “Things could be worse.”
I can’t find an exact number of pay-per-view buys for this year’s Lingerie Bowl, but going up against the Black Eyed Peas’ electrifying performance on FOX, I can’t image the number was very big. Let’s go to the Las Vegas Review-Journal for some analysis.
The blocking was crisp; the tackling fierce. There was a flea-flicker and two double reverses. Salerno threw a tight spiral from one end of the T&M to the other that a saucy little tyke named Melissa Marguiles hauled in over her shoulder in full stride for a touchdown.
I hear the Lingerie Bowl was playing in the Packers’ locker room during halftime yesterday. When Marguiles caught that bomb Aaron Rodgers pointed at the screen and yelled, “Is that so fucking hard!?” Then he slapped Brett Swain and told him he was getting a hair cut Monday whether he liked it or not. What are we doing here? Oh, yeah – girls playing football in their underwear.
And if you missed this from Conan last week…

Love the ref’s expression in the de-pantsing pic. He’s thinking, “Holy shit, I can’t believe I’m getting paid to watch this!”

Wasn’t anyone else distracted by the chick wearing knee braces with lingerie? It’s like “hold on, I don’t want to tear my ACL while having sex”.

True story…
George Whitfield Jr., the head coach of the LFL’s San Diego Seduction, is also Ben Roethlisberger and Cam Newton’s personal Quarterback Coach.
My freshman year in college, George was our starting QB before being benched for poor performance.
Great hustle, George.
