Apparently The Lingerie Football League Takes Itself As Seriously As The NFL

Occasionally when you're wandering around the internet, you stumble across things that defy explanation. This is one of those things.

Lingerie football, which has appeared a few times during Super Bowl halftimes on some random cable channel that I forget, is going big time in 2009. It'll have it's own league, known as the Lingerie Football League, and will have 10 teams.

Now, admittedly I just thought they planned to pull the hottest rejects from NFL cheerleader tryouts, but apparently I was wrong. The above video is a 40-yard dash time trial that was recently conducted by the league to assess the talent - naturally it was conducted in a parking lot. That's where the NFL Draft combine takes place too, right? I just hope everyone had to take the Wonderlic. Some of these girls might have wound up with a score that would make Mario Mannigham look like a genius.

Anyway, because it's clear that how fast these attractive women are makes a HUGE difference in how watchable this league will be - rather than their average chest size - here's a clip of the, uh, highlights of games past. Obviously, speed is not important at all important.
