    For Sports Illustrated’s second annual Twitter 100, they once again polled Sports llustrated staffers who are hard-core Twitter users (they are among the 140 million active on the service) and asked them which feeds they considered essential to their daily routine for finding news, information and entertainment from the sports world.

    There is a big problem looming over the film industry, the growing scarcity of original stories coming from Hollywood. In small ways, we’re all aware of it.

  • A Recent History of NFL Players Going Broke

    With news of Vince Young losing all of his massive $26 million signing bonus we have to look at an epidemic hitting the NFL hard. The NFL is full of cash-burning, hard-partying maniacs who think a diversified portfolio means having a Louis Vuitton shoulder bag in monogram canvas and damier azur. The result? According to Sports Illustrated, 78-percent of NFL players are close to or are in bankruptcy within two years of their retirement. And with the reported economic troubles of league stars like Warren Sapp, Mike Vick, and Terrell Owens grabbing headlines, the 2004 Pro Bowl roster is starting to look more like the cash advance line at MoneyGram.

  • The Door to Hell: A Flaming Crater That Has Been Burning For 40 Years [6 HQ Photos]

    In Turkmenistan, a nation that borders Iran and Afghanistan, there us an amazing geological wonder the locals call “The Door to Hell.” More than 40 years ago geologists were drilling for gas, dug too deep and the ground caved in. They didn’t dare go into the hole to retrieve their equipment because of the poisonous methane gas so instead they decided to set fire to the hole and it hasn’t gone out since. View Larger Map

  • 4 Easy Steps To Adding A New Twitter Header Imagine

    After long wait, Twitter is giving their users “Header Images,” a new way for users to beautify their pages.

  • The Killers: Battle Born [Free Spotify Streaming]

    The Killers much anticipated 4th album drops today and has the lyrics of frontman, Brandon Flowers, fighting for rock’ n’ roll to stay alive. The album sounds familiar with those subtle hints of U2 guitar riffs and Springstein’s story boarded lyrics, while sticking to the ominous keyboard sound they know best. This past summer the charts were saturated with alternative indy folk and a electro-pop-hip-hop conglomerate that all but made us want to throw it up before regurgitating it again and again over the days of summer. But now, alas, it’s fall and time for some good ol’ rock. So now I ask; With the Foo all but retired, have The Killers become the new saving grace of popular rock? Bending the rules with their synth accents and eclectic undertones, but never really changing the way they do business. Doesn’t really matter. Battle Born is good used-to rock worth a check out. The Killers play The Paradise Theater in the boogie down BX tonight for a intimate show and open up to director, Werner Herzog for their album release that will be live streamed on Youtube. Key songs; Runaways, Prize Fighter, Flesh and Bone.

  • The Best Earphones You Can Buy For Tough Mudder Training

    So the RSVLTS.com office is training for Tough Mudder, more on that to come, and running is a huge part of the workout routine designed by our celebrity trainer Michael Olajide Jr. Up until last week my earbud of choice was the Munitio Call of Duty MW3 earphones, badass bullet shape and superior sound quality. But then Phiaton dropped me a line asking to give their PS 210 BTNC Bluetooth 3.0 Active Noise Cancelling Earbuds a try. When I’m jogging nothing is more annoying then the cord bouncing around and falling out of my ears. So how could I possibly pass up earphones that connect to my phone using Bluetooth 3.0 so there are no additional wires to trip over and are great for jogging, exercising, or getting my swell on. The Active Noise canceling lives up to the hype, it really doesn’t serve a purpose while running around the park but it is incredibly useful while riding on the subway. Comparable or a hair better than the Munitio’s so these are probably the best earphones I’ve ever used. At $150 the price is a little stiff but if you want to wear the best you need to pay a more »

  • Occupy Wall Street One Year Later [Infographic]

    One year ago today the first Occupy Wall Street protest took place at Zuccotti Park in Lower Manhattan. The movement lastest several months, peaking in October and November but was eventually cut down by a lack of organization, internal financial corruption, NYC push back and a winter that was unseasonably mild. Although there are still supporters the Occupy Wall Street movement is over but now we look back at how it all went down.

  • Mike Tyson’s Abandoned 1980s Mansion in Southington, Ohio

    In the 1980′s it was looking like Mike Tyson would go down as the greatest boxer of all time. (See: Mike Tyson Savage Knockouts) He was on top of the world making money hand over fist and built this 5-bedroom, 10,000 square foot house on a 60-acre property in Southington, Ohio. Why in Southington, Ohio we may never know but Tyson spared no expense. The house features an indoor pool, full outdoor basketball court, and tiger cages on-site. The all-night dance parties were probably unbelievable.

  • “Made In America” Becoming Cool Again

    “Made In America” is becoming cool again. You might need to pay a fraction more but as NY Times explains the embrace of domestic goods has also moved beyond scruffy D.J. types in Brooklyn who plunk down $275 for a pair of hand-sewn dungarees sewn from Cone denim from the company’s White Oak plant in North Carolina.  The adherents now include “urban creatives, high-net-worth individuals, locavores, liberals, conservatives.”  In other words, Americana chic has gone mainstream.
