PHOTOS: MTV2 to air weekly Lingerie Football League highlights show

LINGERIE FOOTBALL LEAGUE

While millions are gearing up for fantasy football, the other fantasy football has just announced that they have teamed up with MTV2 to air a weekly show.  If you aren’t familiar with one of the best ideas out there, this new fantasy football I speak of is the Lingerie Football League!  Clear the joy tear out of your eye and I’ll tell you more about the sport you’ll adore.

The Lingerie Football League spawned from the Lingerie Bowl which is a counter-programming stunt that airs during halftime of The Super Bowl.  From that humble beginning there are now ten franchise teams that compete in the league for a championship.  The cities and their respective teams are as follows; The Baltimore Charm, Chicago Bliss, Dallas Desire, Los Angeles Temptation, Miami Caliente, Orlando Fantasy, Philadelphia Passion, San Diego Seduction, Seattle Mist and the Tampa Breeze.

The weekly show will be called LFL Presents: Friday Night Football on MTV2 and it will present highlights from the league that features the above ten teams that field 7-on-7 bikini-clad athletic models in full-contact football games.  Just writing that last sentence makes me proud to be an American.

Eric Conte, senior vice president of programming and production for MTV2 said in a statement:

“We are excited to partner with the Lingerie Football League to bring all the feminine ferocity of ‘Friday Night Football’ to MTV2 every week.  We are eager to build upon all the excitement that the LFL and its hardcore fanbase have generated to date to deliver fast-paced head turning programming that fits perfectly within MTV2 fall programming slate.”

Well heck yeah Mr. Conte!  Now on to some photos and videos of the athletes so you can have a clear idea of what we’re talking about and perhaps pick a favorite new team or player.  There are certainly a number of candidates for best tight end let me tell you!  Let’s begin with some team pics.
