Dreadlock Tackle
RIDICULOUS
Eddie Lacy is having a great preseason running like his old self, hitting the holes with quickness and power, but I haven't seen him do his spin move yet, but maybe I missed it since I haven't seen the beginning of any of the first three exhibition games.
But something happened against the 49ers that I did notice and evidently so did Lacy. On the first play of the Packers second possession Lacy broken outside the right end and was racing down the sideline when Gerald Hodges drug Lacy down by his deadlocks limiting him to just a 21-yard gain.
Lacy commented on the revolting development after the game, "It definitely hurts. I'm debating after (cutting my hair). I don't know how many more of those I'd like to experience. We're in camp. So I've got to wait until I get out of camp, and then I'll assess it."
MORE RIDICULOUS

Did you get that? Evidently an old complaint about the town of Green Bay was raised by Lacy in his comment. It seems Lacy thinks there are no African-American barbers in Green Bay or at least a barber that Lacy would approve of. Lacy indicated that the earliest he could get his dreads chopped would be Week 4 during the bye week when he would go home to Louisiana.
Another African-American of note Charles Woodson thought he couldn't be happy in what he thought was the lily-white burg of Green Bay and yet he found he could be happy enough for seven years. I guess Woodson went home to get quaffed.
Middle linebacker Nick Barnett - another African-American - owned a bar in Green Bay, but he finally had to close it because he felt he was being harassed by the Green Bay police on a regular basis, but that's another issue. I guess he also went home to get his ears lowered.
SUBLIME AND RIDICULOUS IN ONE LOVELY PACKAGE

| At The Beginning Lingerie Bowl I in 2004 |
Does anyone remember the Lingerie Football League? I do sort of, but I just noticed that the LFL has been going by a different name for the past 4 years.
For some reason the Roger Goodell's of that league changed the name for the 2013 season to Legends Football League in a smart move on one level so they didn't have to change the monogrammed sheets and towels in the league's front office. But I can't for the life of me understand what Legends the title is referring to.
A little history the Lingerie Football League began as the Lingerie Bowl - pay-for-view event started as a alternate to the Super Bowl halftime shows in 2004, which was ironically the same Super Bowl halftime show that featured Janet Jackson. I wager more people saw Nipplegate than they did Lingerie Bowl I.

When the NFL over-reacted and hired only 100-year old men for the Super Bowl halftime shows for the next several years Lingerie Bowl II and III were presented, but for the next three years for some reason the Lingerie Bowl was cancelled. I guess Howard Stern, Jimmy Kimmel and Donald J. Trump were tapped out.

| Backfield in Motion in 2009 |
Then in 2009 the Lingerie Football League came back with 9 teams (Chicago Bliss, Los Angeles Temptations, Seattle Mist, which are still in operation, and now defunct teams Denver Dream, Jacksonville Breeze, Miami Caliente, New York Majesty, Philadelphia Passion, San Diego Seduction). The Green Bay Chill coached by Packers legend Gilbert "The Gravedigger" Brown joined the league in 2011 and folded last year.

| Performance Apparel Is Even More Revealing in 2016 |
It's hard not to notice how sexist this sport is, but in a world that may elect a woman as the President of the United States its hard to justify a league like the LFL.

| Fan's Favorites |
The original rosters had some athletes, but many were models or ex-models who were used to parading around mostly naked. However, later actual athletes joined up and somehow didn't find it demeaning playing in their underwear.
 |
| Legends Football League Performance Apparel Introduced in 2013 |
When the league changed its name in 2013 they also announced that the women would now wear "performance apparel" as the official uniform. Besides being a little more industrial strength looking the only change I can see is they no longer have garters, which were just for show hanging from their bottoms instead of being attached to stockings anyway. Cleavage both up top in front and down below in back are still as prominent as they were at the beginning.
 |
| Official Equipment Includes Pasties |
In fact, if you look real close at the official uniform, if you call what they wear an uniform, it has a contingency plan if their tops are pulled off, while for some reason there is not one if their bottoms are pulled down.

| Olympic Gold Medalists Aren't Immune to Stripping Down |
It's athletes like those in the LFL who make it harder for other athletes to be taken seriously. However, now that I think about it even those serious Olympic athletes pose naked and I mean naked for the Sports Illustrated Body Issue. When athletes like Aly Raisman do that they lose credibility.
So in the grander scheme of things the Lingerie Football League and its current rendition the Legends Football League was and is VERY RIDICULOUS.
