It seems to me that we have truly come just so far that we do now have a woman's football league.<br />
<br />
Women have been involved in sports in some way since just about as far back as we can go. Back in 776 B.C. The first Olympic games were held in ancient Greece, and well women were excluded, but instead of giving up they created there own games "The Games of Hera". Since that very point in time women began weaving there way in and out of the sports arena. Did you know that in 1722 a British women fighter by the name of Elizabeth Wilkinson entered the boxing ring, Amazing! In 1869 Frenchwomen start entering into cycling contests. In 1886 the first known women s lacrosse games is played. But it was not until the decade from 1890-1900 that athletic activity for women began to become popular as women bought and rode bicycles can you imagine that, you could make a case that the invention for the bicycle actually spurred the movement of women s sports. As you can see its been quite the tumultuous past for women in sports , the road has not been easy Ladies like Billie Jean King and Althea Gibson paved the way for other ladies down the line. Now we have come just so far as to have the LFL. I think that in a way it almost takes things to a whole new level. I never thought I would see the day that women would truly be playing football in an aggressive and organized league. Its an amazing inspiration to see how far they have come .<br />
I think that there is a lot to be said for the women in sports that are playing hard and proving to everyone that they too can play the sport. They aren't looking for a hand up and the good ol' pat on the back. They just play for the love of the game and the look on your face when they blow past you. Thank you ladies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8694805057492208966.post-51008199233317371242010-04-05T07:46:00.000-07:002010-04-05T08:03:34.923-07:00Wearing Too Much?

As I read through the statement I was feeling great excitement with a little fear mixed in.<br />
I want to begin by saying that I think the LFL has done quite an amazing job. They beat their attendance projections in the 2009 season by 30% and were able to bring in enough revenue to continue on into what will soon be the 2010 season. The thing that excites me the most about this article is where it would appear he league is headed. <br />
<br />
"THROUGHOUT THE SPRING AND SUMMER MONTHS WE WILL BE ANNOUNCING MANY EXCITING NEW VENTURES SUCH AS INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION GAMES, SPONSORS, TELEVISION REALITY SERIES, AND LFL FRIDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL GAMES BEING BRAODCAST ON A MAJOR CABLE BROADCAST NETWORK. THESE ARE CERTAINLY EXCITING TIMES AT THE LEAGUE WITH MORE OPPORTUNITIES BEING PRESENTED THAN WE CAN PERSUE."<br />
( From an Press Release at <a href="http://www.lflus.com/news/stateoftheleagueaddress.html">http://www.lflus.com/news/stateoftheleagueaddress.html</a>)<br />
<br />
I have to ask myself when I read this though, how much of this will really pan out? My response would have to be that the league has already beaten any expectation that were placed upon it by me, and what is to stop the league from really taking off? The league truly has set up on something of great appeal to men, beautifully sexy women who can play ball and fight for it. I would have to say that my fear is the same as brian stated in his article though. If the league begins to stretch to thin and focus to broadly I fear they will not achieve the goal they hope to. I believe the best strategy will be for them to produce another season very well again, and work on TV spots and the reality show. I think this would bring the most awareness to the US consumer and ultimately the cash influx the league needs to grow. We will have only to wait and see, as time will tell. Keep your fingers crossed and lets hope for the best. Till next time everyone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8694805057492208966.post-66042019605543442582010-03-30T14:06:00.000-07:002010-03-30T14:40:05.582-07:00PRESIDENTS ANNOUNCEMENT!<!--StartFragment--> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The LFL’s Commissioner (MITCHELL S. MORTAZA) came out this week to give an announcement about the league. One paragraph in particular picked my interest. The paragraph reads:</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">“AS A DIRECT REFLECTION OF OUR HARDWORK … LEAGUE WITH MORE OPPORTUNITIES BEING PRESENTED THAN WE CAN PERSUE.” </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Want to read more Click on: </span><b><a href="http://www.lflus.com/news/stateoftheleagueaddress.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">LFL</span></a></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The reason why it interests me some much is that he goes on to discuss the many opportunities the league now has based on its ability to entertain the masses and still maintain a profit. Is the league not making enough money in the United States?</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Now he is talking about possibly having international games, teams, and sponsors. Which is great but what I don’t think he realizes is the logistics or the issues of having these games in other countries. For example the same type of football over here is going to be a lot different then the football leagues from another country, also their culture might not support the teams and could consider the sport to exploit women. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> Another issue I have with this is that there is a number of cities within the United States that still doesn’t have the LFL or cities that do and not that many people know about it. I feel the first thing he should do is hold a press conference in every city that the LFL has and get additional support from the community I.E advertising, sponsorship, media, and investors. Before the League expands to fast lets secure its survival here in the United States. Now if the only investors are coming from international companies than there is a big problem and the league wont last.</span></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> What are your thoughts? What should the league do?

"Tramps"; "Do these women have any self respect?"; and "this is a complete joke!" were just among the few comments that were made.</div><div id="ms__id24"></div><br /><div id="ms__id25">But if you look back at the interview I did with Kerry Warren, Harper Boiz, Monique Gaxiola, and Natasha Lindsey, you will think otherwise. A majority of these girls, and throughout the league, are former college athletes, grad school students, daughters, sisters, and mothers. They are just normal girls who love to play the sport of football. During my interview with Kerry Warren this is what she said the reason for her trying out "the thought of continuing a contact after college was my prime motivation. I was not sure how I felt about the concept of playing in my underwear, but I am comfortable in my skin. . . .". So there you go, they DO have SELF RESPECT! (I think that most of the girls in this league would agree with Kerry!)</div><br /><div id="ms__id27"></div><div id="ms__id26">These girls are anything but negative. They are an inspiration to many people. They are tough and sexy and they do a great job of showing it both o n the field and in their everyday lives. So for all of those people who did not have nice things to say before you even gave them a chance, it just motivated the girls and the league to work harder, succeed, and expand!</div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8694805057492208966.post-41742562185657289312010-03-25T21:21:00.000-07:002010-03-25T21:21:27.475-07:00Don't Knock ITWhy is the LFL so appealing to men? Is it truly only because the women are wearing close to nothing? Is that really as far as it goes, well I don't think so. <br />
<br />
<br />
The lfl spawned from the halftime shows of the NFL leauge. At first it was what looked like just a bunch of women in skimpy outfits playing football. The fans looked on gave it little attention and continued with what they were doing, however it didn't stop. In fact the games continued and continued and continued. Now I will give you this much, that there is not enough organization to the leauge and still from first glance it seems a little like a joke, and the league sure has its fair share of critics. Peaople will tell you the leage takes advantage of women, people will say the girls don't have talent Etc. However this is my point. If this was in fact a leage with women who had no talent and just looked good in skimpy outfits the leauge would never make it. The thing is its more than that, way more. When you really look deeper and see the hearts of these women you'll see that its much more than that. Yes the women are beautiful, but they posses a skill and determination to succed. That pairing together of 2 things men love is catupulting this leauge to new levels. They just opened a new franchise and are starting a new season. <br />
<br />
If you follow the story deep enough you'll see what im talking about. I hope the lingire football leauge survives and the women continue to play hard.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8694805057492208966.post-84396667891760435492010-03-25T18:38:00.000-07:002010-03-25T19:02:51.665-07:00League News<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a_OYOCUpnXI/S6wVSb9ygyI/AAAAAAAAACg/NCdncMHYI7c/s1600/BaltimoreCharmLogo+copy.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452756655327576866" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 163px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a_OYOCUpnXI/S6wVSb9ygyI/AAAAAAAAACg/NCdncMHYI7c/s320/BaltimoreCharmLogo+copy.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_a_OYOCUpnXI/S6wRaxfW9iI/AAAAAAAAACY/y_ukURgqPZU/s1600/BaltimoreCharmLogo+copy.jpg"></a>The newest team of the Lingerie Football League, The Baltimore Charm, has introduced their new logo to their fans.

He is the man behind the LFL. He is the man that came up with "the" idea. As a spectator at football games , Mitch noticed everyone leaving during halftime, then he realized that he might just be able to create entertainment to fill the gap. The Lfl began as a halftime show for football games but quickly became its own leauge due to demand from fans. soon leauge teams were popping up alll over the place and Mitch became a very busy man. Mitch is the man who makes the whole thing move, he reatins a 51% ownership of the leauge and the teams, however he brings in smaller owners in each area for each team. He has marketed the LFL as a fun friday night activity for the guys or the girls or both to come out and have some fun. I think he is on to something as well, who doesn't enjoy women and football. The idea has been around for quite some time to make a womens football leauge , however they failed. The AFL was one of these leagus, and it never made it. The difference here is that mitch mortaza has made one very smart obseration. He has little to no chance of competeing wuith the NFL, so instead of doing that and running into such rough waters, he decided to throw a different and less serious spin on the whole leauge. This has got to be one of the best ideas in a long time, however in today's worl many great ideas never make it. They lack the funding, the publicity, or the interest to reallly "take off" , but the makreting of the league has been done well and I believe as more people find the sport they will tend to like it. Especially when most have a team realatively close by that they can root for.Now we just have to see what happens next, where will mitch take the leaugeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8694805057492208966.post-68771255588304080812010-03-18T20:23:00.000-07:002010-03-18T20:25:07.857-07:00Fantasy Lingerie Football?<!--StartFragment--> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;line-height:18.0pt;mso-pagination: none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"><b><span style="font-family: Calibri;mso-ascii-theme-font:major-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:Verdana"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#C0C0C0;">Want to Own an LFL Team? </span></span></span></b><span style="font-family:Calibri;mso-ascii-theme-font:major-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;mso-bidi-font-family:Verdana;mso-bidi-font-weight:bold"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#C0C0C0;">I know I do…what about Fantasy Lingerie Football?</span></span></span><span style="font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:major-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:major-latin;mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#C0C0C0;"> Fantasy games are a way to live out that dream. All the LFL players and their real-life performances are used to generate points for fantasy teams in fantasy leagues.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#C0C0C0;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;line-height:18.0pt;mso-pagination: none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family: Calibri;mso-ascii-theme-font:major-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:Verdana"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#C0C0C0;">For example, we can set it up just like any other fantasy league by having a set number of team owners. The FLF (Fantasy Lingerie Football) league uses a set of rules that determines everything from team roster size to scoring method to schedule. You and your fellow team owners hold a draft -- i.e., fill your fantasy roster with real-life LFL players.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#C0C0C0;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;line-height:18.0pt;mso-pagination: none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family: Calibri;mso-ascii-theme-font:major-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:Verdana"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#C0C0C0;">Then, each week you can go through your roster and you will be able to set up your own lineup for the next weeks game, don’t forget that you are setting I up on how well you think “your LFL Players will perform. The statistics your LFL players will be generate just like in the pros, and fantasy points are awarded based on the stats. The better your players perform, the more fantasy points accrue for your fantasy team.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#C0C0C0;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;line-height:18.0pt;mso-pagination: none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family: Calibri;mso-ascii-theme-font:major-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:Verdana"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#C0C0C0;">Ultimately, these points determine which teams enter their fantasy playoffs and who becomes the season champion. With the league championship comes the glory to boast about it until the next season rolls around, at which point the other teams can smell sweet revenge.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#C0C0C0;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Calibri;mso-ascii-theme-font:major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font:major-latin;mso-bidi-font-family:Verdana;mso-bidi-font-weight: bold"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#C0C0C0;">Doesn’t this sound like fun?

While the players are wearing very provocative clothing, you can also see that they take the game very seriously. The players usually are not worry about how cute they look making a play or tackle, they are more worried about trying to give their team the best chance of winning the game which is what sports are all about.</div><br /><div><br />Nicole M Lavoi of nicolemlavoi.com says the LFL is nothing more than a league that uses sex to sell tickets. She goes on to say “More specifically, sexy images and sexy female athletes sell sex to young male consumers, ages 18-35. I would be really interested to see the market research—who are the consumers and fans of the LFL? (Any guesses?) “ While Ms. Lavoi might be correct about what is the LFL’s target market, isn’t that the target market of most sports leagues??? </div><br /><div><br />I can see how the LFL can be seen as a sport driven only by sex appeal but we fail to remember that many of these women are top notch athletes. Natasha Lindsey , Kerry Warren and Monique Gaxiola all played sports while in college. Kerry Warren played rugby, yes rugby, and Monique was actually part of the Mexican National Soccer team. As you can see the LFL is not just putting pretty faces out there, they are finding great athletes to represent their league.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8694805057492208966.post-26382434152068617672010-03-15T08:04:00.000-07:002010-03-15T09:15:20.783-07:00Down, Set, Hut, Hut<div id="ms__id170"><br /></div><div id="ms__id160" align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghkGIdn8HvWhzhISX58e-jaZ6xYNS6yAsPxkmLP-A03ITXPd6CShPycBigcK7lchdjIZZRM6px3eXnfGjHitz0OPH7rhrSMmvTx417MIXW8-saOM1nP677htZ9jmylKR_v0vUOAAbXyNod/s1600-h/natasha.png"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 130px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448893174202006690" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghkGIdn8HvWhzhISX58e-jaZ6xYNS6yAsPxkmLP-A03ITXPd6CShPycBigcK7lchdjIZZRM6px3eXnfGjHitz0OPH7rhrSMmvTx417MIXW8-saOM1nP677htZ9jmylKR_v0vUOAAbXyNod/s320/natasha.png" /></a> The Seattle Mist became a full-fledged league in 2009.

Needless to say, my head hurt for a couple days after that. The other hit was against L.A. (Temptation) and it was the same type of hit.

We'd never worn the new game uniforms before and these new uniforms were a lot tighter than the original ones we used for promotions. Needless to say, with every step the bottom drew an inch more and more up our butt cheeks and into our butt!

Instead they actually get a percentage of "the gate" ( income made from the sales of tickets) which is based even <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">more</span> on them winning or losing. Now I have yet to find solid numbers as to a percentage breakdown , but I know that if you lose you get paid <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">a lot</span> less. The fact that the sport is set up this way causes the women to play harder. Imagine how hard the players in the NFL would play if they began being paid per game. These women are forced to win or else suffer sever pay cuts. This is yet another reason that I love this sport. These women are rough , tough, and beautiful. These women have heart and they play for keeps. You may look on and see a cute innocent looking women, but beware in the next moment she could be busting out your teeth. These women are those women that other women just hate so much, they are blessed both in beauty and athleticism.

One of the best sign of a profitable league is expansion, why would a city be ready to join a league unless other teams are making a profit. The LFL recently announced that one of their new teams was going to be based in Orlando, FL. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>The LFL held a contest for Orlando residents to see who would come up with the best name for the team, and after 21,000 submissions, the winning name was the Orlando Fantasy. I guess Fantasy makes a lot of sense when you think about women in lingerie but also when you considered Orlando being the home of Disney and Universal studios theme parks.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>The Orlando Fantasy may be ready to join the league as soon as Fall 2010. The league expanding is a sign that things are going good, maybe the next step would be to try to secure a television deal with a known network, that would really open many doors for the Lingerie Football League.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8694805057492208966.post-2133954687552889692010-03-03T20:18:00.000-08:002010-03-03T20:38:54.628-08:00Dallas DesireThe Dallas Desire is a team of incredibly talented women, and if the team as a whole was not a tough contender in and of itself they also hold the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">league's</span> 2009 <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Mortaza</span> Award ( MVP ).Her name is Erin Marie Garrett and she is #2 playing as running back.

It is hard to believe that at just 23 years old, this young lady has achieved alot. She plays a variety of sports like Rugby, water polo, soccer, basketball, and of course football. This young lady is very talented, dedicated, and passionate about sports. Lets take a look at her story and how she got this far!<br /><br /><div id="ms__id50"><div id="ms__id49"><div id="ms__id48"><div id="ms__id64"></div><div id="ms__id63">This is what Kerry had to say when we had asked to be interviewed for this blog: It means a lot to be recognized for the blood, sweat, and tears that I put into the season. Not to mention, I had a record that someone found to be notable.</div><br /><div id="ms__id69"></div><div id="ms__id62">Brittney: How did you hear about this league?</div><br /><div id="ms__id53"></div><div id="ms__id52">Kerry: I actually heard about this league while I was in school at Central Washington University. Believe it or not , my mom called me when she saw the first try out on the news and told me that I should try and contact someone in the league about when the next tryouts were. My mom has always been one of my biggest fans and knows how much I thrive on high contact and challenging sports, so I took her seriously and sent an email and a few months later, I was informed of the date and time for the tryout. However, it was on a Wednesday, so I had to get cleared with my teachers to leave, meaning all my homework had to be done early.</div><br /><div id="ms__id54"></div><div id="ms__id55">Brittney: What motivated you to try out?</div><br /><div id="ms__id56"></div><div id="ms__id57">Kerry: The thought of continuing a contact sport after college was my prime motivation. I wasn't sure how I felt about the concept of playing in my underwear (nor was my father!), but I am comfortable in my skin and knew that I was in good shape and just used it as more fuel to train and beast out. I knew that the first step in getting others to love you is to love and be confident in yourself and I decided to step up to the plate and let the world know who Kerry Warren really was.</div><br /><div id="ms__id66"></div><div id="ms__id65">Brittney: What do you do during the off season?</div><br /><div id="ms__id61"></div><div id="ms__id60">Kerry: I am just working and playing the sport of my true passion...rugby. I thrive off of physical challenges, so I have to find things to give me reasons to train. Rugby not only keeps that passion there, it gives me a reason to keep my body in top physical condition which motivates me to keep pushing myself in training.</div><br /><div id="ms__id59"></div><div id="ms__id70">Brittney: What is the wort hit you have taken?</div><br /><br /><div id="ms__id67"></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6PuFZ4P-DN8BtVk0e79E4bB8axLxSs1F4CeQY-iPMApczdKG0GIGzBorhLMM398MboTV5f_A1vQjgHmAhyWyF8KROPPoS2GmYtGFUA9jTJaZGqw1eszXJYN3-0ZbtJyEiYc-PBxX3VLr9/s1600-h/kerry.png"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 134px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443694148364526450" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6PuFZ4P-DN8BtVk0e79E4bB8axLxSs1F4CeQY-iPMApczdKG0GIGzBorhLMM398MboTV5f_A1vQjgHmAhyWyF8KROPPoS2GmYtGFUA9jTJaZGqw1eszXJYN3-0ZbtJyEiYc-PBxX3VLr9/s320/kerry.png" /></a><br /><div id="ms__id58">Kerry: The hardest hit I have taken physically was not a football hit. It was a rugby hit when I dislocated my shoulder scoring my first try (much like a touchdown in football). However, the most devastating "hit" in my football career as of yet came the day we were slated to play L.A. Temptation. I flew out that day with a team full of confidence. We had orchestrated what we believed to be a very successful defense that would stop LA in their tracks and clinch out playoff spot against Dallas for the Championship game. Who would have guessed that an hour before, after I had been taped and final game prep was done that I would get called into Mitch's office where she told me to strip down to uniform (along with about 5 other girls) for "inspection". It was ten minutes later that two very unhappy coaches pulled me into their office and told me that I had been suspended from play because of "weight issues". I am 5'6" and 135 pounds of muscle, hearing that there was a difference between athletic muscle and fat and that my body needed work because I was not "Playboy or Maxim Magazine material", hit hard. My body has never been and never will be Barbie-like. I am very fit, I just have a more athletic build and I was shocked to hear what I heard. Not to mention my team had to function without me and I felt guilty I wasn't on the field fighting with them...that had to be the worst feeling in the world.</div><br /><div id="ms__id72"></div><div id="ms__id74">Brittney: What is your most embarrassing moment on the field?</div><div id="ms__id84"></div><div id="ms__id75"></div>Kerry: Can this really be put into one moment?!! Unfortunately, the uniforms provided offered very little support and I happen to have a chest that most women would die for. I can't tell you how many times ladies would go to tackle me and get my uniform and "things" would pop out of place. If I had to pick the single most embarrassing moment, it would have to be when i had the ball and was running a play that took me wide and up the sideline. As so as the half cam to an end, the first thing I was informed was that I now had absolutely noting to hide from the team, they had seen it all! I was a little upset about it at first, but the more I thought about it, the more I just shook it off and laughed knowing that the Mist had emphasized the importance of family. With this in mind, I could rest knowing that it was a safe environment and my team mates and coaches lave and respect me just as I love and respect them.<br /><br /><div id="ms__id77"></div><div id="ms__id76">Brittney: What do you enjoy doing on your spare time?</div><div id="ms__id78"></div><br /><div id="ms__id79">Kerry: SPARE TIME!!! When I am not working, training, or playing team sports, I'm usually rocking out to my ipod or spending time with family. My family has always been a very important part of my life and lately, I have been realizing that my little sister, Morgan is more fun to be around than I had ever imagined! There is a 7 year gap between us which has always been a pretty larger barrier in the past, but now that she is in high school and following my footsteps (hopefully she will learn from my mistakes before making them herself), I have really enjoyed just watching her and being there for her, should she ever need me.</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6hJHGfXrPsjKv6swbBv19ocFjsJHHKols6k7sagSWRwpD2fia_RtUuVGhlUDYF9tw2YXl9J2L27xHSoh53CAaZQTC7lqfhJe2NI4NYTsVztVUbZCBocpD1why-RqZ3wMearV4jBHscH2G/s1600-h/kerry1.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 213px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443699343236103010" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6hJHGfXrPsjKv6swbBv19ocFjsJHHKols6k7sagSWRwpD2fia_RtUuVGhlUDYF9tw2YXl9J2L27xHSoh53CAaZQTC7lqfhJe2NI4NYTsVztVUbZCBocpD1why-RqZ3wMearV4jBHscH2G/s320/kerry1.jpg" /></a><br /><div id="ms__id80"></div><br /><div id="ms__id81">Brittney: Where can we expect to see you in the future?</div><br /><div id="ms__id82"></div><div id="ms__id83">Kerry: Where the future will take me, I truly only believe that only God knows. I know that I will always be training for something. I know that I will always be challenging myself physically and mentally. I believe that in order to grow, you have to step out of the box and take yourself out of your comfort zone and I intend to do just that. I'd love to say that I will be playing another season of the Mist, but who knows if I'll make it past tryouts. Also, I am looking into possibly taking my degree in aviation managements and putting it into action in the US Air Force. Only God knows the plans He has for me. My job is just to take each opportunity and make it count and learn what I can in every circumstance. I have high hopes for my future, where ever life may take me. :)</div><div id="ms__id87"></div><div id="ms__id86"></div><div id="ms__id88"></div><br />~I would like to say thank you to Kerry for taking time out her busy schedule to talk. I would also like to say that she is very inspiring and a good role model, not only to her sister, but to her friends and fans! I hope she continues to keep working hard, which I know she will, and I want to wish her the best of luck in all her endeavors!~ </div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8694805057492208966.post-75700960524203201772010-02-25T22:02:00.000-08:002010-02-25T22:28:26.420-08:00Girls playing football?Girls playing football? Professionally? You must be joking, right? Well no, were not joking at all, and to be honest it actually is quite fun to watch. I must admit however, when I first caught wind of the whole thing a couple years ago I was more than skeptical. In all honesty I do believe my words were" That is the dumbest thing I have ever seen". The thing is though that I never actually took the time to check out the sport. I think so often we love sports and we also love women, but the idea of women playing the sports is just a l<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">ittle</span> hard for us to swallow. I challenge anyone reading this post though to take a second and head over to the official <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">LFL</span> website at <a href="http://www.lflus.com/">http://www.lflus.com</a>. Check out the teams, the videos, and the stats. You will soon realize that the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">LFL</span> is in fact something different than other previous attempts. These aren't your average playboy bunnies trying to play football. These are beautiful women with a mean streak and a little extra aggression. They love to play the game and they love to hit hard. They are playing for the real true love of the game something that is all to often missing from some of the mainstream sports we watch today. People today I believe are tired of the same old sports with over paid players to scared to take a risk. These women however, are not scared and play with a passion that is refreshing to see these days. All I'm saying is that if you think its a joke dig a little deeper.Then I think you will agree that the LFL is toally

with the rules and regulations of the LFL. I would like to explain to you the differences and my personal opinion of the rules. We are going to discuss these topics: Playing Field, Scoring, Offensive, Defense, Team Roster, and Time of Play.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align: none;text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;">First lets talk about the PLAYING FIELD, which is </span></span></span><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;">50 YARD FIELD 8 YARD END-ZONES 30 YARDS WIDE. This is about half the size of at NFL regulation field. This works out very well since the girls are much smaller than NFL players. Also as a spectator its awesome because every seat in the house is able to view the entire field without bring binoculars.</span></span></span></p> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Arial, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;"> </span></span><!--StartFragment--><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align: none;text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10.0pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;">Scoring is one of the most important parts of any game… Now, Lets discuss how it’s measured in the LFL. </span></span></span><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:14.0pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;">SCORING</span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial;mso-bidi-font-family:Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;"> </span></span></span><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10.0pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;">Touchdown’s is consistent to scoring in the NFL, which is 6 PTS. CONVERSIONS on the other hand are much different because teams can only RUN OR PASS; there are no extra point kicks. Now, if a team just scored a touchdown they have 2 options CONVERSION RUN OR PASS … Option 1: (2YD LINE) = 1PT or Option 2: (5YD LINE) = 2PT. Although there is no kicking for extra points like the NFL, I actually find it more enjoyable because I think it adds more excitement to the game, since they have to run or pass the ball only.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align: none;text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:14.0pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;">Next Topic of our discussion is going to be about the Offensive and Defensive players and there roles on the field, this is one the biggest differences from the LFL from the NFL. For both offense and defense each team has</span></span></span><span style="font-family:Arial;mso-bidi-font-family:Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;"> </span></span></span><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10.0pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;">7 players on the field at anytime. On the Offensive side the players positions include: 1 quarterback, 2 running backs, 1 down line women, and 3 wide receivers. On the Defensive side the player’s positions include: 2 down line women, 1 linebacker, 2 cornerbacks, and 2 safeties. Each team’s roster consists of 14 Active and 6 inactive players. The extra 6 players are there as replacements for injury or fatigue on the field. Additionally they help motivate other teammates during play.</span></span></span><span style="font-family:Arial;mso-bidi- font-family:Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align: none;text-autospace:none"><!--StartFragment--> </p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:14.0pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;">The last but least thing you should know about the LFL is the time of play. Each team only receives 35 seconds in between plays similar to the NFL, but the Time of play is quite different it consists of two 17-minute halves, one 15-minute halftime and 8-minute sudden death overtime if the need arises. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:14.0pt;"><o:p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;"> Well thanks for following, that’s the Scoop!

She happened to be my neighbor while I was in college at <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">USC</span>. I contacted the league back in August of '08 but didn't hear from them until March of '09. They held open tryouts which I attended and I made the roster.</p></div><div id="ms__id117"></div><div id="ms__id26"></div><div id="ms__id31">Brittney: When did you start playing football?<br /></div><br /><div id="ms__id29">Monique: I've been playing football my entire life. I have four brothers and we are all close in age so I grew up playing sports, especially football. I played a little in high school on the junior varsity team as the kicker. Every Sunday during the NFL season, our entire day is dedicated to watching football, so I've grown to love the sport. I use to tell my brothers I'd be the first girl in the NFL, bu the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">LFL</span> just so happens to be the closest thing!<br /></div><br /><div id="ms__id122">Brittney: What do you do during the off season?</div><br /><div id="ms__id124"></div><div id="ms__id97">Monique: Well since this is my first season off season, which started about a week ago, I plan to continue to train because we still have to make appearances. I took this past week off from training and eating right, which I enjoyed very much. I plan to join a flag football team to help improve my football skills for next season. Our league is beginning to grow so quickly and I know this next season is just going to get harder with the competition. There are going to be a lot more athletic and beautiful women coming out to the tryouts so I have to prepare myself for the competition.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOCDyx9GwRoruMjUJxJdMT9b8ABBI-9Tps2vOTC6-0k1WpZiU0sYovRC_C0-AEjvg2-12YXn2BGIiearKOuEr1sYBiU8QfY4U5iR9uuT39stxm9km7-RAbyFzFRvaw1ru6cqHPOQtta6i4/s1600-h/monique+6.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441183547654779650" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 134px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 167px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOCDyx9GwRoruMjUJxJdMT9b8ABBI-9Tps2vOTC6-0k1WpZiU0sYovRC_C0-AEjvg2-12YXn2BGIiearKOuEr1sYBiU8QfY4U5iR9uuT39stxm9km7-RAbyFzFRvaw1ru6cqHPOQtta6i4/s320/monique+6.jpg" border="0" /></a></div><br /><br /><div id="ms__id98"></div><div id="ms__id99"></div><div id="ms__id125">Brittney: How do you stay in shape and avoid injury?</div><br /><div id="ms__id100"></div><div id="ms__id106">Monique: Well that's funny you ask because I played this entire season with an old <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">ACL</span> tear in my right knee. I had torn my <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">ACL</span> a year prior to football while playing soccer, but thought it was just an old knee injury which I've done before. I was given the option to have surgery or to play with a brace the entire season. I chose to not have the surgery and wear the brace every practice and every game. As for staying in shape during the off season, I workout 4-5 times a week. I run at least 3 miles a day along with weight lifting. I also workout with a personal trainer who helps me out with my football speed and agility. During the season, we practice 3 times a week for 4 hours, so the days we do not practice I'll do my daily workout.</div><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq6_ExGc7CYfAj5hTvclGEFDVsjWwBukkYI3j6uSZc636DyNzjJMiOjG1TrxIuQmGkpQ6_ahPHfZjRZUWjfNg1HmqMbEWxdmus7jgyHb0zatwpYVRunUWLJQAXrzptOjunKfL2-sznSEDo/s1600-h/monique+pic+2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441182544458778274" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 227px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 304px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq6_ExGc7CYfAj5hTvclGEFDVsjWwBukkYI3j6uSZc636DyNzjJMiOjG1TrxIuQmGkpQ6_ahPHfZjRZUWjfNg1HmqMbEWxdmus7jgyHb0zatwpYVRunUWLJQAXrzptOjunKfL2-sznSEDo/s320/monique+pic+2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div id="ms__id105"></div><div id="ms__id104">Brittney: What position do you play?
