In case you missed it, Dodge was going to be the primary sponser for the Lingerie Bowl. During half time of the Super Bowl, they were going to have models playing football in their underwear, and you could watch it on pay-per-view. Under preasure from the feminist crowd, Dodge backed out, and the Lingerie Bowl seemed as though it would go too. But I learned today from Jim Rome that the Lingerie Bowl is back. Here's part of Rome's take:
Partypoker.com is in as the new sponsor. Perfect. Seriously, when you think about it, who else was going to step up other than an online gambling site? Now you can hit all the degenerate activities at once - the Internet, porn and gambling. If there was some way for beer to pour out of the TV, then it would be the perfect event. You knew someone was going to step up and make sure that this thing went off.
In case you aren't familiar with Rome, he can be a bit sarcastic. Just to head-off any misinterpretations, Rome was very sarcastic about this. The idea of beer pouring right out of the TV made me laugh out loud.
