Sometimes in this life there are men of vision whose great innovations go largely unnoticed. Brilliant minds whose ideas changed the world but who remain anonymous. The first Europeans to travel to the Americas. The inventor of the automobile. The man who isolated the cancer gene. No one knows their names, but their impact on our lives is profound.

The founder of the Lingerie Bowl is such a man. A man of courage who went to the drawing board and came up with the formula "(Women x Lingerie) + Football = Entertainment." This is a great man, a man of vision and guts. And there isn't even a plaque, or a signpost or a statue of him in this town...

Unfortunately, due to problems both logistic and contractual, Lingerie Bowl V has been cancelled. And the dream of us being spared 30 agonizing minutes this Sunday listening to 83 year old Tom Petty caterwaul through "Runnin' Down a Dream" is dead. But we have been promised they will return with LB VI from Tampa, FL. Let us pray.

This man did one other thing for which the world should be eternally grateful: he gave us Jamie Walsh, the most high-profile athlete to ever grace the cover of Barstool Sports. So here's to you, Mr. Lingerie Bowl Inventor.
