…something comes along to give you… …a ray of beauty and hope in an otherwise dismal universe… …a reason to believe that the world is not irredeemably evil and awful… …a reason to _live_… I’m talking, of course, about the newest, most sublime, most exquisite form of athletic competition. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . [THE LINGERIE BOWL!!!](http://www.lingeriebowl.com) Yes, believe it or not, two teams of lingerie models playing full-contact football in nothing but bras, panties, kneepads, shoulder pads, and helmets! It is a truly wonderful thing to behold. The sideline reporters are also lingerie models, in teddies and garterbelts. As they say on their Web site, it’s true fantasy football. Only in America! And the best thing of all, it’s televised in HDTV! Who cares who wins the election now? Life is good! We have the Lingerie Bowl! ---

Didn’t they do this last year, too? Kinda funny considering what ended up becoming the main story of the real Superbowl. By the way, who won the game, anyhow? The real Superbowl, I mean. ---

The Patriots won last year, on another last second Adam Vinitari field goal. Going for a repeat this year. Alas, it’ll pale in comparison to a Red Sox World Series victory… 🆒 ---

It cracks me up that they also have female cheerleaders, in fairly normal cheerleader outfits. I mean, you got a couple dozen women running around on the field in their underwear…is anyone even going to SEE the cheerleaders? ---

I sure didn’t notice them. They should have male cheerleaders.
