"Lower thirds" I think is the term you're looking for - it's that band that goes across the bottom of the screen with the logo and names and whatnot...

Hi Marcus, just do a SEARCH on this Vegas Forum using the words creating lower thirds. There is plenty of tutorials written by members of this forum that will get you what you want.

Have fun!

Render a video then crop it in a sze that could fit in the lower thirds then add the name of the players for example?

Marcus (and anyone else who's interested), there's all kinds of textures on this site (http://www.cgtextures.com/) that can be used for creating backgrounds.

Might not be exactly what you need but I posted a simple example in the above thread. Just use one of the textures instead of the generated media.
