Here's the scoop: A very creative entrepreneur had a news conference Wednesday in West Hollywood to unveil plans for "Lingerie Bowl 2004," which will feature 22 pajama-clad young ladies playing full-contact, seven-on-seven tackle football in an Arena Football-like setting Feb. 1 - the same day as the Super Bowl.

The $19.95 pay-per-view football game is being billed as alternative entertainment for those bored with the Super Bowl's traditional lip-synching halftime show and a chance for women to see a lingerie show. (They tell me that's how you're supposed to explain it to the wife.)

The pay-per-view football game will be played live during halftime of the Super Bowl - my how far we've come from Bud Bowl I & II. A deal is still in the works to play the game most likely in Las Vegas. They will have a sand-base field covered in foam padding to allow for all-out tackling. They say there will be no nudity.

"That's what they say, but I'm going to be ripping off tops," said model and actress Angie Everhart, and that's what you would expect to hear from the former girlfriend of Rambo. And I think we know who the crowd favorite is going to be.

"We will have guys with towels on the sideline," said Mitch Mortaza, the creator of the event, "and if one of the girls loses her top or bottoms in the heat of battle, these guys will be ready to pounce on them and cover them up."
