Chicago Bliss defeats the Philadelphia Passion, 42-19.  Game pics click here.

We had a lot of fun at the Sears Center in Hoffman Estates on Friday.  The Chicago Bliss are a team that plays football in lingerie.  Booty shorts and sexy sports bra’s.

The Bliss played the Philadelphia Passion.  Casey and I were there with the CFD Blaze, the fire department team.

The Blaze sold a lot of tickets and brought a couple of bus’s of Blaze players, paramedics and firemen to the game.  They had a halftime tug of war against the cops.  They sold some t-shirts, and were treated very well by the Sears Center staff and the Lingerie Girls.  I suspect a lot of the emergency responders we brought to the game are now lingerie football fans.

Lingerie football is an interesting game.  The girls are wearing pads and hockey helmets, but have a lot of exposed skin.  This game resembles a cross between arena football, roller derby, hockey, Hooters and an underground fight club.  It is fast and the ladies are impressive, sexy and tough.

The ladies play HARD.  These girls are athletes.  I was on the field at halftime, and the astro turf is less forgiving then then old office carpeting.  Lots of turf burns are suffered by the women playing.  The girls want to win, and after almost every hard play, a fight must be broken up by the ref’s.  After big plays and scores, the athletes-ladies run into the stands.  These women love their fans.

The fans are into it.  They resemble UFC or MMA fans.  A lot of Affliction and Tap-Out gear is in the stands.  They were not only men.  There were ladies in the crowd, and everyone was into the game.

The firefighters send thanks to the lingerie football fans, and the Chicago Bliss Ladies, and the Lingerie Football League.  We had fun and raised some money for a great cause.  The CFD Blaze are raising money for children’s charities, like the Burn Camp.  Our season opener is approaching, April 10th, 2010 against the CPD Enforcers.

I took a few pics with a small camera, but they did not turn out great, if you click on the photo above you can see some game shots.  Casey took some great video, and we will be posting on our CFD BLAZE YouTube channel soon.  I also will be adding the some tug of war pics and video and some pictures of the after party.
