BODOG
PRESS RELEASES
For Immediate
Release -- January 11th, 2006
With Jenny McCarthy and Cindy
Margolis to Host, William "The Refrigerator"
Perry to Coach, and Dennis Rodman To Do What
He Does, The Highly Anticipated Bodog.com Lingerie
Bowl Returns for a Third Season
Promising to once again deliver
an alternative, live show for viewers eager
to see a halftime program that's uplifting,
the Bodog.com
Lingerie Bowl III is set to blitz audiences
on Super Bowl Sunday.
The 90-minute sports and entertainment
extravaganza offers free admission to the L.A.
Memorial Coliseum on February 5 for fans to
watch Super Bowl XL on screen and experience
the Bodog.com Lingerie Bowl in person. As it
has done since its first pay-per-view scrimmage
in 2004, the Bodog.com Lingerie Bowl will sack
the competition while bringing gridiron excitement
to a new level with supermodels playing full-contact
football in lingerie, celebrity guest quarterbacks,
a steamy lingerie fashion show with top musical
performances, and surprises galore.
"No other Super Bowl-related
programming has been as enthusiastically talked
about, or has generated as much ink, as the
Bodog.com Lingerie Bowl," states the event's
creator/executive producer Mitch Mortaza, president
of Horizon Productions. "This will be a
tremendous breakthrough season that truly fulfills
the promise of this event, giving in-person
and pay-per-view audiences the halftime show
they deserve without missing a minute of the
Super Bowl - except, of course, for its own
halftime show, which should be rated 'G' for
generic, or maybe geriatric!"
"We are excited to take
on title sponsorship of the Bodog.com Lingerie
Bowl and we look forward to a long and prosperous
relationship with Horizon," says the event's
host, Bodog.com Founder and CEO Calvin Ayre.
"With the hot players plus Dennis, Jenny
and the other top celebrities expected to attend,
the Bodog.com Lingerie Bowl is sure to be a
highlight of Super Bowl Sunday."
In 2004, major media outlets
speculated that the infamous Janet Jackson incident
was a pre-planned stunt, with the L.A. Times
asking, "Who knew the lengths the NFL would
go to sabotage The Lingerie Bowl?" Meanwhile,
NBC posited if "this 'spontaneity' was
a carefully executed move to combat...people
changing the channel in favor of The Lingerie
Bowl, which itself generated enough interest
to threaten the viewership of the most watched
show in television."
This year, the third edition
of the Bodog.com Lingerie Bowl may wind up being
the most popular Super Bowl halftime show on
television because of the power of its stars,
beginning with the players themselves. The game
will feature a duel between Eastern and Western
champions, who will be determined the week prior
on "Garter & Lace Championship Saturday".
The Eastern final pits the New York Euphoria
(quarterbacked by MTV personality Trishelle
Cannatella ) against the Chicago Bliss (led
by WWE diva Christy Hemme ). In the Western
final, the two-time Lingerie Bowl champion Los
Angeles Temptation (under Playboy's Miss April
2001 Katie Lohmann ) takes on the Dallas Desire
(featuring pop star Willa Ford at quarterback).
Of the more than 5,200 players who tried out,
an elite 52 were selected to fill the rosters
of the four teams. These players represent the
most beautiful, athletic and fiercely competitive
talents in lingerie football.
While celebrated Chicago Bears
defensive lineman William "The Refrigerator"
Perry will lend his football know-how as a coach,
Bodog.com Lingerie Bowl III will also benefit
from the presence of another incomparable sports
legend, Dennis Rodman, who serves as Lingerie
Football League Commissioner. With a savvy entertainment
sensibility, Rodman has instituted new rules
for the event, among them: Botox physicians
will be stationed on the sidelines to ensure
that players look their best at all times; all
touchdowns must be accompanied by an end-zone
dance, preferably involving a pole; and a Gatorade
bath will be given to the winning team.
"Which would you rather
watch at halftime? Aging rock stars or supermodels
playing full-contact tackle football in lingerie?"
asks the colorful Rodman, a five-time NBA champion
with the Chicago Bulls and Detroit Pistons.
"With my guidance and rule changes, this
year's Bodog.com Lingerie Bowl will be the biggest
Super Bowl party in the world!"
Also headlining the festivities
will be model/actress Jenny McCarthy and the
Web's No. 1 downloaded model Cindy Margolis,
who will provide color commentary. Ryan Starr
of "American Idol" and model/actress
Tamie Sheffield will serve as sideline reporters,
while Fox Sports veteran Mike Goldberg calls
the play-by-play action.
The pay-per-view event runs from
7:30-9 p.m. ET/4:30-6 p.m. PT, kicking off with
the biggest tailgate party in the world - a
warm-up celebration that will feature performances
by Bodog Music artists, including Bif Naked,
in the Bodog.com Experience Village outside
of the L.A. Coliseum. The moment the whistle
blows indicating halftime
at the Super Bowl, a fashion show begins
featuring the Bodog.com Lingerie Bowl's own
"Fourth & G" lingerie line, accompanied
by three songs by the event's chart-topping
musical performers.
Immediately following the concert,
the two finalist teams will play and the winning
squad will be honored in a trophy ceremony,
all concluding before the second half of Super
Bowl XL kicks off. Among the treats for fans
is the Bodog.com Pit, where Bif Naked will play
host to the most boisterous in attendance. Fans
can get all the info they need at the official
web site: www.LingerieBowl.com. Also, the online
magazine BodogNation (www.bodognation.com),
which is published by Calvin Ayre, will feature
extensive coverage of the game and the personalities
involved in it.
Horizon Productions, established
in 2003, is a full-service, Hollywood-based
entertainment company engaged in the development
of alternative film and television, as well
as talent packaging, event production and media/sponsorship
management. "With the global entertainment
marketplace growing more diverse every day,
the challenge of keeping up with ever-changing
demand requires, simply, to know what the people
want and to give it to them. That's the mission
of Horizon Productions," says Mortaza.
