Sure, we’re right in the middle of some exciting NBA & NHL playoff action, and the MLB season is well underway. But we’re still a few months before the start of the sport many American truly live & die for: Lingerie football! Yes, pigskin in panties! Gridiron in garters! Blocking schemes in bras!

The Lingerie Football League season doesn’t kick off until September, but like their brethren in the NFL, the ladies of the LFL still need the summer months to get themselves into football shape. (No, not into the shape of footballs. That would be silly - and defeat the whole purpose of lingerie football).

We previously covered (or uncovered) the progress of some of the new LFL franchises, like the Denver Dream, the Seattle Mist, and the Tampa Breeze - or more specifically, Tampa Breeze players Melissa Berry & Reby Sky. And now we take a peek at South Florida’s entry into the lingerie league - the Miami Caliente.

CBS 4 MIAMI (not be confused with CSI Miami) informs us that the Caliente held open tryouts on Monday, which took place at the Bank Atlantic Center in suburban Sunrise. Makes sense, since the BAC has already seen it’s share of sports-related skin this year, thanks to this flashy female Florida Panthers fan.

CBS 4 was nice enough to shoot some footage of the pigskin proceedings - however, the video is unembedable (disembedable?), so I can’t put it up in the post. Fortunately, the SOUTH FLORIDA SUN SENTINEL comes to the rescue with some fine photos of the football frivolity.

It’s a little early to be praying for some pass protection:
