No Gambling: Hawaii is going to Las Vegas this week to play UNLV. Hawaii coach Greg “Little Faggot Dance” McMackin will not let any of his players gamble. “Even the ones who are 21. I won’t be doing any gambling myself. This is a business trip. I met with the captains about it, and they agree it’s fair.” The players will not be permitted off the premises of the Suncoast Hotel and Casino. If memory serves, it is not connected to Sapphire.

Anna Kournikova Gets a Drink Thrown in Her Face, Fights Back, and Gets Clawed

This is what has become of Anna Kournikova’s life: She’s still in her tennis prime at 28, but instead of competing at Wimbledon, she’s attending parties in Las Vegas in an effort to stay relevant, and unfortunately, getting in fights.

Kournikova and her pals were partying at Lavo after attending the Hardbat Classic table tennis tournament when a woman at the next table “threw a drink at Anna … Kournikova “sprung into action” and starting screaming at the woman and shoving her. “It was a big fight,” the spy said. The woman was kicked out only after leaving Kournikova with some vicious scratch marks on her neck.

Poor Anna. She probably thought when she retired, she wouldn’t have to deal with this kind of crap anymore. Remember when she got testy with a persistent BBC interviewer?

Sunday, there was this photo of the Packers QB spending a serene moment atop a Vegas banquette with a mystery blonde. And today, this report surfaced:

Hillary Scott, lead singer of Lady Antebellum and daughter of country singer Linda Davis, having dinner Saturday with Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers at AGO and dancing at Body English in the booths

Hmmm. Distraught that he now has to share a division with the best RB in the league and one of the best young QBs in the NFL, perhaps Rodgers felt the need to unwind in Vegas?

Here’s some more photos of Scott, who doesn’t appear to be the same female in the booth photo from over the weekend.

It was an interesting weekend in Vegas for NFL players: ” … Toby Keith, making a special appearance Saturday at his “I Love This Bar & Grill” (Harrah’s), where he was joined on stage by NFL players Kyle Vanden Bosch (Tennessee Titans) and Matt Light (New England Patriots) …”
