I haven’t seen the DVD, but I saw a tape of the game. Assuming that the DVD is just the pay-per-view broadcast on a disc, the production quality is frankly… not NFL. You need to see this game to understand just why networks spend over a quarter million dollars on a camera, and what the impact of quality sound people is. The ladies seem to like the running game every year – if you like the ball on the ground, they’ll not disappoint. Here’s a quick guide to the bowls:

Bowl I
Production quality: Poor
Commentary: I think the commentators learned the players’ names about 3 minutes before kickoff. They weren’t bad, just not well prepared.
Game quality: Good, all things considered.
Skin quality: Superb

Bowl II
Production quality: Poor
Commentary: Better than Bowl I
Game quality: Several bottles of evil impaired my recollection, but I think it was better than Bowl I
Skin Quality: Superb

Bowl III
Production quality: Even worse
Commentary: Worst imaginable, minus two.
Game quality: More polished performances than Bowl I, less exciting
Skin quality: Superb

The choice of Jenny McCarthy as color commentator in Bowl III was akin to France’s reliance on the manginot line. On paper, it probably looked like a great idea. It probably seemed as safe as money in te bank. A tank-proof winner. The problem is that when you guess how Jenny McCarthy would be on pay-per-view, you’re probably exactly right – and it’s NOWHERE near as great as you think. I’d buy Bowl I & II if I hadn’t seen them, but I’d skip III unless I’d taken it into my head to start a collection.

I originally thought it was a joke. But there is actually a http://www.lingeriefootballvideo.com website. Has anyone seen this DVD?

Ruining Football: the Last Measure

First they took away the pristine competitiveness of the amateur footballer. Then they ruined the spirit with the crass glitz and commercialism of the Superbowl. And now, in what is surely the final and most egregious insult to that noble…

There were a couple other penalties in the linked Yahoo pics. I’m not sure if it was two instances of roughing the hooter, or if one of them was just holding. Either way, I have a disturbing desire for SRS now. The only thing keeping me in check is that I’d never make the team.

Even I didn’t know about this. Now that’s just odd.

The first thing I thought when seeing the pictures was, “Oh look, just how Preston likes ‘em….with kneepads.” I think the girl on the left there will get a HOT HOT HOT 15 yard penalty for ass-grabbing and snuggy-givin’.

Hottest automatic first down action ever!

Doug – I blame you for not telling me about this sooner.

When I heard about the first lingerie bowl, I really thought would be lame. I expected a bunch of pampered nearly naked chicks prancing around for an hour or so. I was wrong. I haven't seen this year's yet, but I've seen the first two, and those ladies compete. You don't appreciate what that means until you see someone with hardly any clothing, much less padding, on a field so cold you can see their breath giving 100% for every inch of field. They're not there to look good - they're there to win. And they look good as a bonus. I see they've got the first one on DVD for $15; if you were just going to blow it on crack and hookers anyway, pick up a copy. The teams that year hadn't practiced much, but they put up a decent game anyway.
