WPS: Brandy Chastain wants to know if your town is the top WPS town. Enter here for a chance to win an all-expense paid trip to a major WPS event. Whether or not you have a team makes no difference – you can enter either way! If you’re in Atlanta, there will be a WPS team in your town come 2010.

MLB: There are a ton of baseball promotions right now. Check out this one that gives you a chance to win two tickets to the 2009 All-Star Game. Oh, and the Devil Rays are doing so well that they are already taking deposits for 2009 season tickets. Speaking of baseball, don’t forget to follow the USA Olympic baseball team. This is the last time baseball will be in the Olympics until they decide to let it back in one day…maybe…

Golf: Check out the PGA Tour widgets that have been available for just about a month now. While we’re on the subject of golf – Morton’s Los Angeles is holding their 6th annual Golf Classic to benefit the Make-A-Wish foundation on August 22. The event takes place at the Braemar Country Club in Tarzana. On the lighter side of golf, check out Tattoo Golf’s new koozies that you get free with orders of $75 or more.
