Australia will be one of the top draws and favorites at this weekend's IRB HSBC Sevens World Series stop in Las Vegas. The Sevens Wallabies are currently a surprising seventh...

Alistair Overeem, a UFC heavyweight who is considered one of the top contenders in the world, has been charged with battery in Las Vegas. According to police, Overeem pushed a woman and caused her to fall backwards.

Considering that Overeem is 6-foot-5 and weights more than 260 pounds, I hope the judge throws the book at this fool.

Paris Hilton was recently in Las Vegas doing what she does best party, party, party. Check out the Paris Hilton pictures below where she can be seen partying in Encore hotel.

In recent years, Paris Hilton wasn't always welcomed in Las Vegas due to being busted for cocaine while in the city.

If only Bob Bradley knew...

Onward...

With Estudiantes Tecos about to wrap up there season and facing a budget-balancing puzzle, the US's prodigal poacher south of the border is headed north out of town.

TSG has confirmed that the 2010 World Cup vet will join Club Santos Laguna (where former US coach Bob Bradley was said to be in talks about their head role before taking the Egypt job) after the conclusion of Mexican Apertura playoff final series Sunday.

Adding 8 more teams/cities to the NFL would amount to a total of 40 teams, from 32. The eight divisions would have 5 teams each, instead of 4. The question is, who should new franchises be awarded to?
Before discussing the cities, it's important to discuss whether 8 more teams would be reasonable for the NFL, economically speaking.

Si , hablamos del boxeador que desfalco las Vegas y asalto a Marquez en tres ocasiones, aqui algunas cosas que me han mandado para que te diviertas un rato despues de la desgracia de la semana pasada.

-Pacquiao ¿conoces a Márquez? -me suena, me suena... -si te suena entonces ¿Por qué dices que ganaste?

Lo dijes desde hace tiempo Manny Pacquiao es muy bueno,pero no para estar entre los mejores de todos los tiempos, en primera porque los medios de esta epoca inflan todo y segunda porque desde hace mucho tiempo existe la sospecha de dopping , que al parecer nunca se va aclarar.
Manny Pacquiao sera un muy buen congresista ayer se vio que puede tomar cosas que no son suyas y ademas mentir.

Today MLS commissioner Don Garber held his State of the League address. Two of the main topics were were the schedule for the 2012 season and the league's 20th franchise.
In regards to the schedule, Garber said that the league will not expand the number of games played. There will be 34 games for each team next season, which means we've seen the end of the balanced schedule.

I read a status update on my friend's Facebook page the other day and it read something of the sort, "On My Way to Comic Con 2011".
I will be honest, the first thought that ran through my head was, "Man, what a total NERD!" And then after a few minutes I pondered a couple of things.

We've talked a lot on here about the 20th Major League Soccer franchise being in New York City. The league has stated on several occasions that they want the club in the Big Apple. But there are a couple cities around the country that are hoping to cash in on the 20th franchise and jump in ahead of a potential New York club.

Our discussion of MLS expansion drew some interesting responses. So we thought it worth asking the question directly, where should MLS expand next? We have discussed the merits of New York, Las Vegas, Atlanta and more over the years. Tell us what you think?

In the comments section, tell us why.

It sounds like the Vegas stadium deals are getting closer to happening. Big question is, can they line up an owner to guide a MLS team into the expansion discussion? A deal would call for the stadium in Vegas to be done by 2014.

Bochornoso , polemico,controversial,ventajoso,sorprendente y vergonzoso todos los calificativos entran en esta pelea de box. Floyd Mayweather contra Victor Ortiz
El chico malo del boxeo la noche del sábado a pesar de que gano con knockout salió perdiendo lo poco que algunos todavia apoyaban de este boxeador.

I love how it seems that every month or two the MLS-Las Vegas stories pop up. Well here is another one to throw on the pile. When they get a serious owner I'll actually talk about it again. Until then, its all fun talk. (note, if you haven't figured it out click the post title to see the link)

This may be a LONG way from reality but damn, just think of the road trips? Every supporters group and it's mother will be out to recreate The Hangover without missing kick off. If this happens somebody's gonna get pregnant.

Not content to just do their thing in the Paul Scholes testimonial match at Old Trafford today, the Cosmos organization is set to take part in something called the Vegas Winter Kick on Feb. 12th at Sam Boyd Stadium. Word out of Sin City is that the promoters, Justice Entertainment, say the opposition "will be a quality team that is recognized worldwide.

I play a little catchup with Timbers news after spending some much needed vacation time in Las Vegas with fellow members of the Timbers Army. Despite the challenges of finding a viewing spot for the Timbers - Fire match, the trip was worth it regardless of the result. Granted, the win in Chicago certainly added to the experience.

What the FA Cup's all about: free trips to Vegas! Leyton Orient chairman Barry Hearn has honoured a promise made in the wake of his side's shock 1-1 FA Cup draw with Arsenal and whisked the squad away to Las Vegas. Hearn had vowed to treat the players to the trip if they held the [...]

Man marking Manchester City team-mates Gareth Barry and Joe Hart have been enjoying a lads holiday in Las Vegas. They have been involved in such rough-and-tumble activities as applying sun cream to each other. Eager to ensure Hart remained a Blue and didn't turn Red, Barry gladly rubbed the lotion into his team-mate's back.

A Scouser, a Geordie and a Scotsman go to the beach... It's not uncommon for a few of football's bachelors to hit Las Vegas, Miami or (back in the day) Ayia Napa together during the close season. But OTP can't pretend we expected to see Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney, Liverpool striker Andy Carroll and [.

We're back again with a grumpy host and three panelist tasked with making the angry little armed dinosaur laugh.

*For most Southern Californians, Las Vegas is the road trip so local soccer fans would undoubtedly welcome an MLS team there. Turns out, so would MLS Commish Don Garber. Party on.

*United Soccer Leagues released a revised schedule for the LA Blues and USL pro in the wake of the early-season demise of three Puerto Rican clubs.

By Andrew Villegas Even the most casual followers of soccer around country have heard this tune before: Startup sports league with huge eyes identifies niche, sees potential for growth, money, more TV coverage, better press and eventually a multi-tiered youth academy system that feeds a multi-tiered league system.

Ysania Agurcia es una modelo norteamericana nacida en California y que vive en Las Vegas. Aunque vive rodeada de varios de los deportes más típicos de los EE.UU., ella encuentra su mayor afición y entretenimiento en la natación. Todos los días nada para cuidar la línea y es la prueba que más le gusta en los JJ.

The talk is that the Dynamo are trying to line up a friendly with Stuart Holden's Bolton Wanderers in Houston this summer. I like the idea, lets the dude get some hometown shine for a couple of days.
I kind of wish there was a a whole series of these: Run-DMB's Hannover in Indianapolis, Herculez Gomez's Pachuca in Las Vegas, Jay DeMerit's Whitecaps playing in Green Bay etc.

So I'm sat in the Las Vegas airport awaiting my delayed flight home. The AO Rally was cool and if you want to hear about that go check out the day job. Met some cool people and hope to hook up with a few of them at the U.S.-Argentina match later in the month.
Now I hate to be so brief but I'm off to the Chili's-to-Go in Terminal D before I board because after 2 nights of gambling, drink, bad food and good times it's closing time.

In case you didn't know I'm currently "on assignment" covering the the American Outlaws rally in America's premier hot mess, Las Vegas. With Night 1 in the books I can honestly say that when it comes to people-watching there is no place on the planet that offers more "amazing" than Las Vegas.

LEYTON, England Leyton Orient's players will be jetting off to Las Vegas after hitting the FA Cup jackpot by securing a £1 million replay against Arsenal. Jonathan Tehoue grabbed a dramatic 89th-minute equaliser for the East London club to give Orient a 1-1 draw with Arsenal that earns them a replay against Arsene Wenger's [.

Whilst admitting that a win (and hence, no fixture-clogging replay) would have been nice, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger was full of praise for Leyton Orient's 'fighting spirit' after Jonathan Tehoue's 89th-minute equaliser (Tomas Rosicky headed the Gunners in front just after half-time) ensured that the League One side forced an FA Cup fifth-round replay by snatching a last-gasp 1-1 draw at Brisbane Road.

La pelea entre estos dos jóvenes pugilistas cada vez llama mas la atención de los aficionados al boxeo mexicano y mundial, su enfrentamiento debe de ser inminente y aquí uno de los dos perdera el invicto pero la afición mexicana ganara a un ídolo mas.

Oh here we go again. Another city wanting Major League Soccer. I guess this is what happens when the league is growing rapidly and people around the country are finally taking note. Today we hear of another candidate city, though this one is one that has popped up before (some folks tried to buy the Crew an bring them here).

NASL Required to Fulfill Certain Requirements to Obtain Full Sanctioning Beyond 2011
CHICAGO (Feb. 12, 2011) – The U.S. Soccer Board of Directors provisionally sanctioned the North American Soccer League (NASL) to operate a Division 2 men's outdoor professional soccer league in the United States.

I'll be a guest on the Soccer Sam Kick This radio show again this morning.

Kick This out of Rochester, NY is the most listened to weekend radio soccer talk show in the nation. Of course we'll be talking about the North American Soccer League and the 1-year provisional sanctioning that was approved by the United Sated Soccer Federation's Board of Directors on Friday afternoon in Las Vegas, Nevada where the USSF Annual General Meeting is being held.
