Well, it’s official. Real Madrid will NOT be coming back to Salt Lake City as planned.
While it hasn’t been announced who will be the replacement for the International game date, RSL had some great teams come through Rice-Eccles Stadium in the form of Boca Juniors, Morelia, the Chinese National Team and Everton in 2007.
Sounds like the Euro - Dollar exchange rate didn’t help the situation at all, but GM Garth Lagerway has his ideas as to who he’d like to bring in.

Dunny tipped you off about this super sleek foosball table awhile back, and now comes this gem. Designed by Jared Arp’s, this $9500 foosball table is constructed from hard maple and silver lace wood. Apparently there is only one table, and if you are interested in splashing out, all sale terms must be negotiated with Jared personally.

I have watched my fair share of Man vs. Wild and Survivorman and these shows have left me wondering if I ever really want to wonder out into the wilderness again. Imagine how much easier their jobs would be if they carried this inflatable boat around in their backpack. Getting off that mountain (they always follow the river) or escaping a deserted island just got a whole lot easier. If this backpack has room for some other survival essentials, then this might just be of the handiest inventions for campers and other outdoor folks.

With Memorial Day fast approaching, that means that summer is right around the corner. And with summer comes BBQ, and with BBQ comes beer. If you want to be the coolest cat at BBQ’s this summer, then I highly suggest investing in the remote controlled beer cooler.

For only $69 you get a toy and a highly functional accessory you can take from the pool to the tailgate.
