I've been trying to think of something funny and snarky to say about the Lingerie Football League, but I've got nothing. There are so many possible jokes to make about a dearth of football knowledge and grammar in the "Philly Passion" organization that it's like making fun of Quasimodo for being ugly - it is mindlessly mean-spirited and entirely besides the point. The LFL isn't supposed to be a showcase of premium athletic talent, it's entertainment in the same vein as American Gladiator, a show with respectable athletes (Gina Carano, MMA) and infinite entertainment value. This clip from Shutdown Corner has actual plays being executed and some surprising athleticism, so I don't see why we shouldn't give the LFL the benefit of the doubt.
Update: Okay the LFL, specifically one coach, just lost a little bit of that respect, freeze frame at 1:22.
Holy shit they actually look pretty good. This seems at least as competitive as roller derby, which I hear is a blast to watch. I predict this will have a more successful business model than the XFL.
