Are you still lamenting the stadium-less plight of the New York Majesty? Are you convinced that the Los Angeles Temptations are forming an unstoppable dynasty? Do you love women in underwear playing football? Then you are probably already a fan of the Lingerie Football League, the premiere American woman's tackle football league—whose barely-there uniforms include panties, bras and pads. Three years since its inception, the LFL has announced its intentions to launch a youth football division to give girls with pigtails a chance to throw around pigskins. more ›

Police released a sketch and surveillance video of a man suspected of attacking a woman on a F train, stealing her purse and demanding she give him her underwear. WCBS 2 reports the incident occurred at 2:25 a.m. yesterday morning: "Police said a man tried to sexually assault a woman at knifepoint inside a subway station... The woman was allegedly attacked while sitting on a southbound F train at 2:25 a.m. at the Fort Hamilton Parkway station." Police do not think that this incident is connected to the serial sexual assaults in Park Slope, Sunset Park and Bay Ridge. more ›

In this grainy photo, you can see what Harlem financial consultant Malinda Knowles was wearing just before she headed to LaGuardia Airport to catch a JetBlue flight to Florida last year. It seems Knowles's attire just wasn't modest enough for the pilot, who allegedly refused to fly the plane with her on board. She says it's because somebody thought she wasn't wearing anything under her baggy T-shirt, and after dragging her off the plane for a degrading underwear inspection, the pilot still wouldn't take off. more ›

A group of elementary students got a lesson in the ways of the world this morning when a disturbed man, clad only in boxers, a white T-shirt, and a pair of socks on his hands (!), came tearing through Number 26 Elementary School in Paterson, hollering that he was being chased by men with guns who wanted to kill him. more ›

People will do crazy things to avoid paying taxes, so add this one to the long list: Sewing $170,000 into underwear. The feds arrested a Queens woman last summer at JFK Airport for trying to enter the country without declaring the money. According to the Daily News, "Claire Abdeldaim's real estate booty consisted of 1,699 $100 bills," and a U.S. Customs agent told his supervisor, "We got a big one." more ›

A group of models hit the streets of SoHo in their underwear yesterday, turning heads and cameras alike. They ran around the streets near Crosby St. and Broadway, jumping over and around boxes and crates, while being videotaped by filmmaker Jason Stein for Desigual. The company's rep said they were not shooting an underwear commercial though. more ›

Last month a Brooklyn man busted for marijuana possession blew the cover on a time-honored trade secret of the drug underworld: how to crotch your contraband. Apparently, the NYPD has discovered that drug users smuggle their stash in their underwear! And to make the process easier for the average drug fiend, there are now several brands of briefs with secret pockets in the crotch. This week the NYPD sent out a memo alerting all law enforcement officials to the underwear's existence... and just in time for tonight's Phish show at the Jones Beach State Park Police State :( more ›

Ladies, now that you've starved your way down to a size 0, it's time to add a little shape to your stick figure! The Wall Street Journal reports on the Booty Pop brand of underwear, which contains egg-shaped pads that make your butt look less like a pancake. The WSJ claims the nation's eyes are on Kim Kardashian's derrière, leaving women with no choice but to pad their asses. One 25-year-old Booty Pop wearing woman told them: "I look better, I feel better, and as a result, I act better." more ›

Yesterday, the annual Jamaica Underwear Run took place in Central Park, attracting 500 runners for the 1.7 mile jog they day before the New York City Triathlon. Last year, the underwear run broke the world record for the most people gathered in one place in their underwear—though in sports bras, speedos or shorts, most people looked like they were just in standard running gear. But a few went all out, donning lacy panties and boxers in the sweltering heat yesterday evening. Of course, this is just a precursor to "National Go Topless Day" on August 22nd! And remember, in New York, both men and women can go topless any day of the year. more ›

After this morning's report of an underwear-clad thief stealing a truck and going on a bizarre joyride, we didn't expect any more underwear-clad stories to roll by us today. But that would have been a great oversight, because we would have missed out on Jack Singer, the fourth-grader from Warwick, NY who is anxiously waiting to see if he has broken the Guinness World Record for most pairs of underwear worn at one time. more ›

Last week lawyers for the man who accused NYPD officers of sodomizing him as he resisted arrest in a Brooklyn subway station accused police investigators of tampering with their client's boxer shorts to make it seem that the hole could not have been made by a police baton. Indeed, the photos comparing the hole in Michael Mineo's boxers before and after seemed damning, but yesterday lawyers for the city hit back, claiming that the hole in the shorts merely appears to be different because of "bunching of the fabric" that creates an "optical illusion." It's true—and if you stare at the photos now while crossing your eyes, you can see a really trippy 3D "magic eye" landscape that's the same in both shots. more ›

awyers for the man who accused NYPD officers of sodomizing him as he resisted arrest in a Brooklyn subway station have filed papers in federal court alleging that police investigators tampered with a crucial piece of evidence: their client's boxer shorts. One of the pivotal moments in the criminal trial—which resulted in the acquittal of all three cops—came when an NYPD fiber expert testified that the officer's police baton, or ASP, "could not have possibly made the hole in this underwear. This is a square hole." more ›

Did anyone really believe that the Improv Everywhere troupe rode the subway naked? The video was posted on April Fools Day, but it seemed like the NY Times may have fallen for it... they even called the cops! The gullible Grey Lady was told by an NYPD spokesperson that no laws was broken, and they confirm, saying: "We checked, and sure enough, the definition of 'exposure of a person,' a violation under section 245.01 of the state’s penal code" (heh) "states that the law does not apply to any person entertaining or performing in a play, exhibition, show or entertainment." Alas, as we pointed out yesterday, the pranksters were all wearing nude-colored undies. And underwear fetishists (if you even exist) take note: IE head Charlie Todd says an uncensored video will be made available soon. more ›

The hole in alleged NYPD sodomy victim Michael Mineo's underwear was not caused by a police baton, an NYPD fiber expert testified yesterday during the trial of three officers. Yesterday defense lawyers summoned expert Nicholas Petraco, who told jurors, "They could not have possibly made the hole in this underwear. This is a square hole." Petraco also testified that the hole must have been "cut out" or "punched," because it's a clean hole with no flap of material left. Lawyers for the three officers are claiming that Mineo, a body piercer, used one of his own tools to make the hole after the fact. more ›

It's nice and chilly out there, perfect weather to take those pants off! Slip into your best skivvies, Improv Everywhere has posted details for this year's No Pants Subway Ride (their 9th one!), which will take place on Sunday January 10th at 3 p.m. sharp. If you want to participate, you're going to have to be able to shed those pantaloons and keep a straight face about it while on the subway. Check their site for meeting places (which include spots in Queens, Brooklyn and Manhattan), and get ready to see some skin. They ask that you do not wear thongs (phew) and say that if you are questioned, tell the person that you “forgot to wear pants." Send us your photos if you spot any of these fairweather exhibitionists! more ›

After a demonstration last weekend drew more police officers than protesters, cycling activists will rally again to show their support for the Bedford Avenue bike lane — but this time they'll do it in less clothing. more ›

Remember the underwear-clad guy atop the Charging Bull sculpture near Wall Street? Now Daily Intel reveals it wasn't a drunk intern or other victim of investment firm debauchery—"He was Peter Killy, a fortysomething actor who was making an indie movie, The Robber Barons of Wall Street. This particular pose was a shot they plan to use for the promotional poster." Killy said, "I am slightly disturbed that this opportunistic photographer never bothered to see if I was dead or alive. I had my photographer and director there, they said a police car drove by and didn't even stop. That was the funniest part of all ... It was just like another day in the financial district." Related: The Charging Bull's creator hasn't been thrilled with some commercial uses of his famous sculpture. more ›

Following the announcement that a judge will allow some of Naked Cowboy's lawsuit against Mars Inc. to move forward, the tighty-whitey bearing Robert Burck appeared on the Today Show this morning. more ›

http://gothamist.com/2008/02/13/naked_cowboy_to.php">sued M&M's maker Mars Inc. for $6 million, claiming a commercial showing a blue M&M in a cowboy hat, boots, and white underwear and holding a guitar in Times Square infringed on his trademark look? Well, a federal judge sent most of the lawsuit to pasture, but is allowing the Naked Cowboy's claim that it seems like he's endorsing M&M's to stand. more ›
