In general, the words lingerie and football have about as much in common as the words meth addict and day care. Maybe that’s why the all-female Lingerie Football League just changed their brand name to the Legends Football League.  You will be relieved to know that they didn’t change their uniforms very much, and they’re still awesome. The league, which expanded to include Canada in 2012, will swell to 16 teams in 2013 with the addition of the Atlanta Steam and the Omaha Heart. No word on whether the league will continue naming their teams after female soft rock outfits and soap operas when it expands to Europe in 2015.

The uniforms used by the players of the LFL also will change slightly, but, as evidenced by the following picture gallery, the ladies won’t be running around in sweatpants and jorts. The guys who attend these games on the other hand (ahem, us) will remain slobs.

The league has decided to use the term ‘performance wear,’ rather than lingerie, for the new garb, noting that lingerie hurt its credibility (just like J. Edgar Hoover!). If a the woman in our lives told us that she was wearing ‘performance panties,’ we’d ask for a full list of showtimes, and book early and often.

The longtime Twins pitcher and current television broadcaster gave his Hall of Fame induction speech Sunday and took his rightful place among baseball’s all time greatest players.

From the time I began to follow baseball, I always felt that Bert belonged in the Hall of Fame and would someday get there. His numbers speak for themselves.

Blyleven has 287 career wins as well as over 3700 strikeouts, both of which are immense accomplishments when compared with how the game has changed today. With more and more emphasis put on pitch counts as well as bullpens, it becomes harder and harder for starters to control their fate. Blyleven frequently finished games that he started; out of 685 games that he started he completed 242 of them, often finishing seasons with more complete games by himself than most teams today have in an entire season.

It is always a treat to see a great pitcher pitch or hear stories that they tell from their many seasons, and Bert is certainly full of them. Having his number retired by the Twins — surrounded by a circle, of course — is a fitting end to an outstanding career and the Hall of Fame is certainly adding a class act to its collection of the greats.

Hall of Famer Bert Blyleven sure does have a nice ring to it.

Organizers say more than 2,000 people attended the contest and helped raise money for the food shelf and paralyzed Cold Spring resident Roger Illies.
