Dream on about what could have been!
And here you were all set to enjoy the alternative event to the Super Bowl halftime show. How many times can you listen to Springsteen anyway?
That's why Lingerie Bowl VI was planned for you folks who are tired of what promoters say are:
..aging rockers who all have received less than favorable reviews."
Well, the sponsors of the event -- the folks that claim they run a full-on Lingerie Football League -- couldn't obtain the correct permit to stage the spectacle in a vacant lot in Tampa. Yup, a vacant lot. Wonder if those arena leases in various cities that supposedly field teams are still valid?
But they were bailed out by the Caliente Luxury Resort, a nudist -- oops, a clothing-optional -- resort in the city. Problems occurred when the Caliente folks refused to make clothing a required element of Sunday's event. Hell, why should they dress up for cameras?
They asked the sponsors why the participants couldn't go "uniform-optional". That question was posed to some players who flatly refused. They didn't sign up to play nude or to play in front of folks only wearing their best smiles.
According to a report published in the Toronto Star, those non-team players were dismissed for "lack of dedication."
The event has been canceled but no one has told the webmaster for the Lingerie Football League. And they even had a link to Google Maps just for you in case you couldn't find the place.

This is no surprise, right down from Ray-Jay are a couple of strip-clubs. Matter of fact there are several strip clubs in that general area.
Maybe your best picture yet. Could this just be a PR move for the Lingerie Bowl? If so, it's working.
Jacob: I do it all for you, the readers.:)
As the players tried to take the field, the marching band refused to yield. Do you recall what was the deal? The day...the music...died.
Kevin: excellent.
You cant see me. I'm in the middle of that scrum fumbling the football.
Pat: Happy birthday and merry christmas for the rest of your life.
I'm glad you liked that, Paula. I do it all for the writer. That should be my gimmick. As song lyrics come into my head every time I read something. I couldn't resist that one though.:-)
