Street Soccer: I got a note promoting the XTremBol Street Soccer Tournment:

IT'Z OFFICIAL ... IT'Z HERE. XTremBol Street Soccer tournament will take place on Sept. 28 on the grounds of Prudential Center, Newark, NJ. BIGGER AND BETTER than anything we ever imagined. Thanx to our friends the NJ Ironmen and Prudential Center (the Rock) for coming through. 12 TEAMS; 2 CAGES; 1 CHAMPION. Performances by: El SuperTiguere, REM the Ranger, La Union Del Barrio, Hyphen-One, Daylon Alexander, Armando "Son" Jimenez and Jak Trippa. Newark's own DJ Frankie will be one of the DJs spinning on the 1&2's. Joining him will be DJ Cachimbo, DJ Alex Gomez, DJ Cristian "El Sonerito," DJ No Good & Bebo from the Supreme Team, and DJ Miller.

Golf: Want to play in Las Vegas? Try the grand-reopened Aliante Golf Club. If you fly in and don't want to bring your clubs you only need to show them a boarding pass for a free club rental. This is a premium rental of Callaway or Cleveland with lefty, righty, and women's. They've had this offer going on in the summer and have extended it to the end of the month.

Fantasy Football: Check out Pay The Fan that has extended full-season competition sign ups until September 22. On the 23rd, the weekly sign-ups will start where they charge $39.95 to play. Enter the code 'footballfools' and get $5 off the weekly when it starts. It is definitely an interesting site - you choose your team every week with no limitation. Things like Tom Brady's injury and Peyton Manning playing like dirt last week provide the challenging aspect. It's like a pick 'em using individual players.

WPS: The player allocation results of the US Women's National Team players will be announced on Tuesday, September 16. You can watch the event live by checking here.
