The PostGame

Actor, comedian, and long-time Yankees fan Billy Crystal received the call he’s been waiting “50 years for“:

With the approval of MLB commissioner Bud Selig, the Yankees announced that Crystal will sign the contract and work out with the team at Legends Field on Wednesday, before playing in Thursday’s Grapefruit League game against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

I know that baseball isn’t attracting as many fans as it used to, with the steroid scandal hurting the image of the national pastime and faster-paced sports like basketball and football grabbing the youth demographic. Not to mention the Lingerie Football League. Warning: do not click on that link if you value your bandwidth But couldn’t they at least sign somebody cool like The Rock or Hannah Montana? Crystal is like 90 years old, and hasn’t done anything good since “City Slickers”. (If you mention “My Giant” to me, I swear I will jump through your computer screen and stab you in the eyeball.)

Back to the Lingerie Football League, how the HELL was I not aware of this glorious organization until two days ago? It’s like suddenly discovering that you won the lottery, or that you can fly, or that Andy Rooney finally died.

^ Lost his mind about 35 years ago.

Anyway, for those of you not familiar with the LFL, it’s girls in lingerie playing football, thereby combining three of every guy’s five favorite things. If they could somehow incorporate meatball subs and fighting monkeys, that would hit the jackpot.

But I can’t really complain; the league is pretty damn entertaining as it is. They say a picture is worth thousand words, so in that case this photo collection is like a complete erotic novel. Except, you know, it’s for guys.

And, finally, just a hot girl holding a football.
