Lingerie Bowl
|
The Lingerie Bowl was a controversial 2004 pay-per-view show that aired live during the halftime of Super Bowl XXXVIII. It featured scantily-clothed female models playing tackle American football. It was originally sponsored by the American automobile manufacturer Dodge which withdrew due to criticism. The players in the game wore short shorts, a sports bra and some protective gear. The presentation was produced by Horizon Productions and was not affiliated with the NFL. The retail cost to view the presentation was US$19.95.
The names of the two teams were Team Dream, coached by Lawrence Taylor; and Team Euphoria, coached by Eric Dickerson. Team Dream defeated Team Euphoria by the score of 6-0.
Horizon Productions has now expanded the concept into a "tournament play" reality show that the Fox Network might air. Horizon Productions has also created a league called the Lingerie Football League which will contain four teams that will square off in the reality series and then in Lingerie Bowl 2005. The teams are:
