MIAMI -- LeBron James has had "preliminary talks" with David Beckham about possibly bringing a Major League Soccer team to Miami. The talks were first reported in the British media and confirmed by the basketball star after the Miami Heats practice Monday. "Theres some interest on both sides," said James, who already has a small ownership stake in the English club Liverpool through his involvement with Fenway Sports Management. "David has become a good friend of mine over the last few years. And I think it would be great for this city to have a football club for sure. So theres interest on both sides, but its preliminary talks. There (is) some open dialogue." The Associated Press first reported last month that Beckham, the former England international who ended his playing career in the American professional league, decided to start an MLS expansion club in Miami. Several matters, however, must first be taken care of, including league approval. Beckham scouted some Miami locations last week -- for at least the second time -- and is looking for investors. Beckham, who played for the Los Angeles Galaxy in MLS, has the right to pay $25 million to start an expansion franchise. But the overall startup costs would far exceed that amount when factoring in other costs such as stadium construction and player acquisitions. "The research is still being made out," James said. "I think it could be huge. But you never know. I think this is a great town for soccer. Theres a lot of soccer players, theres great youth soccer players here and people love the city as well. So that definitely would help." South Florida has had an MLS team in the past -- the Miami Fusion played in Fort Lauderdale, Florida from 1998 to 2001, before shutting down because of poor attendance. But its surely conceivable that Beckhams star power could make MLS more viable in Miami, and aligning with James certainly will help. Beckham created a buzz last season when he sat courtside for some Heat games, and James often speaks about his appreciation for some of the worlds best players. "Ive grown a great interest in watching the game," James said. "Its a pretty intense sport. And my kids love it as well. But Ive grown to the point where I know exactly whats going on when Im watching the game." wholesale nfl Jerseys . -- Kansas City Royals closer Joakim Soria will take a few days to consider his options after receiving a second opinion on his elbow injury.

Parker scored 32 points and the San Antonio led by as many as 31 on its way to a 119-96 victory over the Dallas Mavericks, closing out a stressful first-round series Sunday in seven games.1) Blades of Steel: This game was far inferior to its NES counterpart and the only time the graphics are good is after you score a goal. 2) WWF Superstars 2: This game is a little bit better than the original, but still not incredibly impressive. Here is a classic match-up between The Undertaker and Hulk Hogan: 3) Golf: The game known simply as "Golf", which would later become "Mario Golf". Not much to say other than that this game was awesome. 4) Nintendo Baseball: I remember playing this game frequently and because of how slowly the ball moved, it would take about 90 minutes to complete nine innings. 5) NBA Jam Tournament Edition: The graphics for Game Boy continued to improve, but playing a basketball game between the Celtics and the Lakers with black and white Jerseys completely diminished the experience. 6) Madden 96: Just like in the present day, Madden football was the class of the NFL games for the Game Boy. The biggest issue with this game is that they didnt yet have the NFL license, so no team logos or player names. 7) Riddick Bowe Boxing: Punch Out! never came out for Game Boy, so we had Riddick Bowe boxing, which was actually pretty violent. Pit Fighter: In the days before mainstream Mixed Martial Arts, there was Pit Fighter, an uber-violent game that came out in the arcade and was ported to Game Boy. 9) Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball: This was THE baseball game for Game Boy. Had great graphics and gameplay and the most popular spokesperson in baseball. 10) Tecmo Bowl: Nowhere near as good as the NES version, but still fun, especially with the bodies inexplicably flying everywhere. 11) Tennis: In my opinion, the most fun sports game for Game Boy. Mario was the line judge and he made sure the game was played fairly. 12) FIFA: Road to the World Cup: This game was excellent for its time and had great graphics with fast gameplay. 13) Jordan vs Bird: This game was absolutely awful.dddddddddddd Just the worst. 14) Bo Jackson Hit and Run: This game contained both a baseball game and football game. How clever! The problem is that the baseball game was good and the football game may have been the worst game ever. 15) NBA Live 96: Every time someone dribbles the ball, the game makes an offensive noise. 16) Nintendo World Cup: They took River City Ransom and made it into a soccer game. I approve! 17) PGA Tour 96: Someone should show this to Brad Faxon. I bet that hed feel incredibly old. 18) Skate or Die – Bad 'N Rad: This game was a total cult classic among skateboarders and non-skateboarders alike. 19) Super RC Pro Am: If you could get past the horrible braking noise, this game was quite enjoyable. 20) WCW Main Event: Like WCW itself, this game was much inferior to the WWF product. 21) George Foremans KO Boxing: This game has been considered one of the worst fighting games ever, but it was tolerable. Riddick Bowe Boxing was better. Although its an improvement over Foreman for Real, which was hysterically bad (see below). 22) Bases Loaded: This was another really good baseball game, especially considering how early into Game Boys existence it came to be. 23) Itchy & Scratchy in Miniature Golf Madness: This is the most insane golf game ever made. You play as Scratchy and try to avoid violent Itchy characters while golfing to nowhere in particular. 24) Jimmy Connors Tennis: Another great tennis game for Game Boy. The Game Boy could have been much more successful if it only released tennis games. 25) Jeopardy Sports Edition: This game features really hard sports questions with not a lot of time to answer them. Bonus) NHL 96: They tried to make this as good as the Sega Genesis versions, but werent able to capture the magic. Happy Anniversary Game Boy!
