    value

    Each professional sports championship trophy is priceless from a historical and sentimental value standpoint. but what about weight in melted down value. All of the trophies, with exception to Lord Stanley’s Cup were created in the late ’60s early ’70s, welded together in the fires of Mordor. We’ll maybe not, but each holds significant meaning to each sport and are cherished like relics of ancient times. Side note; Each ring around the Stanley Cup is engraved with the names of each player and coach of it’s winner and when there is not more room, the oldest ring is removed and retired at the Hockey Hall of Fame, to bring in a new era of champions.

    The game’s officials—whether they’re called the referee or the umpire—are often the least popular person on the field during a sporting event. When the official makes a poor call, it can lead to fan-based incensement of Steve Barton-like proportions. If you are unsure of the aforementioned statement, then just ask Don Denkinger—a former Major League Baseball Umpire who, despite an illustrious career in the profession, suffered through many threatening letters from St. Louis Cardinals fans in the wake of the 1985 World Series. This adversity happened as a result of Denkinger’s erroneous call—one that placed Kansas City Royals batter, Jorge Orta safely at first.

  • When Will The NFL Return to Los Angeles?

    Los Angeles NFL

    Behind New York City and ahead of Chicago, Los Angeles is the second largest city in the United States. It is the epicenter of the entertainment industry, and is among the largest markets on the planet. The aforementioned being established, it is puzzling that—after two failed attempts with the Rams and the Raiders— the residents of Los Angeles have not had a football team to claim as their own. Boasting two baseball teams—the Angels and the Dodgers, two basketball teams—the Lakers and Clippers, and a Stanley Cup Champion hockey team—the Kings, the demand for a football team in the City of Angles is growing. Well, in what seemed like a bit of good news for Los Angeles residents, a wealthy entrepreneur named Phil Anschultz entered the fray amidst all of the idle chatter about the NFL bringing a second team to Southern California.

    There’s nothing like heading to a stadium for a nice day of tailgating. You’ve got the energy of the crowd, the smell of the BBQ, kids bolting in front of your car as you try to navigate narrowing parking lots, drunken fans hurling beer bottles at your face, weather conditions that always seem to be either too hot or too cold. Wait a minute, that sounds kind of hectic and we’re not the only ones who think so. If a Ad Week/Harris Poll survey is to be believed, 60% of U.S. adults say that they prefer to watch NFL games on TV, all curled up on the couch, while just 6% actually attend the games in person. To further explore these stats we headed to football stadiums across America with former NFL star Dhani Jones to explore the drama that can go along with tailgating. As you’ll see things got pretty wild. So what is causing this shift from fans attending games at the stadium to watching them at home? We’re thinking the recession is to blame. Our paychecks aren’t getting any bigger but players salaries, cost of tickets and concessions sure are. This shift to at-home tailgating is not going more »

    Any regular RSVLTS.com reader knows that we love ranking things. Especially when it comes to sports. We’ve already shown you which NFL players and teams are the most popular on the internet but what about when it comes to Americaness? Which team bleeds the red, white and blue more than any other?

It goes a little something like this… Team Color Score (Red, White and Blue in your team colors, 1 point for each) + Americaness of Mascot (2 points for very American, 1 point for pretty American, 0 points for not very American) + Super Bowl Score (0.5 points for every Super Bowl victory) + Real American Hero Score (each team’s city ranked by percentage of population that are veterans, 3.2 points for highest percentage, 0.1 points for lowest) + Money Talks Score (per capita median income for each team’s city is ranked, 3.2 points for highest income, 0.1 points for lowest) + Leadership Score (0.5 points for every president born in team’s city) + Cheerleader Score (0.5 if the team more »

    A Recent History of NFL Players Going Broke

    In Football, Sports / / 0 comments

    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.
