OK, sorry, that's kind of a misleading headline. We don't want Clarence Swamptown to get too excited. That said, this press release came from the St. Paul Saints, along with image you see: St. Paul Saints games have never been mistaken with a night of entertainment from the Chippendales. That could change this Saturday night. Saints players will show off their ripped ab muscles and chiseled chests during The Naked Game: Enrico Pallazzo Night in a tribute to funnyman Leslie Nielsen.

On Saturday, May 21 Saints players will wear their birthday suits (at least on top). Special "naked" jerseys will be worn during that evening's game in honor of the The Naked Gun movies following the death this past November of Leslie Nielsen. Fans, however, are required to come fully clothed to the evening's contest against the Fort Worth Cats.

Boo! We want to be naked, too!

Oh well. The only thing to figure out now is how the Saints got ahold of a topless picture of us to use for those special jerseys.
