Re-defining the "Mile High Salute."

When one thinks of football, there are a few things that come to mind. Ass slapping, inside penetration, and a hot receiver. The new Lingerie Football League (LFL) should bring a new perspective to those common football terms.

Looking like a game that might be played out on Hugh Hefner's front lawn, it's like a Howard Stern and Vince McMahon collaboration. Half-naked women and football. Does it get any better than that? Just imagine the Cowboy cheerleaders, but with helmets and less clothing.

If skimpy lingerie and a scouting combine where the prospects stand around shirtless and we get their "measure-ables, is more titillating than a Brett Favre six touchdown game, then the Lingerie Football league may be better than the NFL. With a prospective 10 teams, the LFL will have two more teams than the Canadian Football League, and probably get higher ratings than the Arena Football League.

The Lingerie Football League is set to begin its inaugural season in the fall of 2009, after a number of successful Lingerie Bowls that took place as pay-per-view events during Super Bowl halftimes. There will be 10 teams with names that look derived from a Spearmint Rhino time sheet, but these ladies are not just the hottest rejects from the NFL cheerleader tryouts. While the level of play might not be up to par with their NFL counterparts, tryouts, the tight ends and fullbacks should definitely be more enjoyable to watch.

The first Lingerie Bowl was played during halftime of Super Bowl XXXVIII in 2004 and featured Team Dream vs. Team Euphoria. Team Dream won the first game, 6-0.

Since it's debut in 2004, the Lingerie Bowl has featured such beauties as former WWE diva Christy Hemme, Playboy Playmate Katie Lohmann and pop star Willa Ford, as well as some past NFL players and Lawrence Taylor, Jim McMahon and Eric Dickerson.

Horizon Entertainment Group is certainly putting the x's back in the x's and o's. I just wonder if implants will be considered performance enhancers?

For some reason, I'm kind of craving hot wings from Hooters.
