Say what you will about the NFL’s Color Rush uniforms? They’re garish. They’re loud. They hurt your eyes. All true. However, they are also back for yet another season. Yep, despite the Washington Redskins submitting a proposal to the NFL back in March that would have allowed teams to opt out of wearing the uniforms on Thursday Night Football they are not going anywhere just yet.

The only way a team can get out of wearing them is if the two teams’ uniforms are too similar. That or they just don’t have an actual Color Rush game on the schedule. Those two options ended up in nine teams not wearing the retina-melting gear for a game in 2016.

Here are the games where you might have to put on a pair of those eclipse-watching glasses in 2017…

Sept 7: Kansas City Chiefs at New England Patriots
Sept. 14: Houston Texans at Cincinnati Bengals
Sept. 21: Los Angeles Rams at San Francisco 49ers
Sept. 28: Chicago Bears at Green Bay Packers
Oct. 5: New England Patriots at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Oct. 12: Philadelphia Eagles at Carolina Panthers
Oct. 19: Kansas City Chiefs at Oakland Raiders
Oct. 26: Miami Dolphins at Baltimore Ravens
Nov. 2: Buffalo Bills at New York Jets
Nov. 9: Seattle Seahawks at Arizona Cardinals
Nov. 16: Tennessee Titans at Pittsburgh Steelers
Nov. 23 (Thanksgiving): New York Giants at Washington Redskins
Nov. 30: Washington Redskins at Dallas Cowboys
Dec. 7: New Orleans Saints at Atlanta Falcons
Dec. 14: Denver Broncos at Indianapolis Colts
The Detroit Lions will wear theirs on Dec. 16 since they don’t have a Thursday game.

And while the uniforms might be very hard on the eyes, the helmets are a whole other story because some of these are just dripping with sex. Here are some of the best…

This $350 12-ounce cut of Wagyu beef is the most expensive steak in Manhattan, and you can find it at the Old Homestead Steakhouse. I’ve only been to the Old Homestead Steakhouse once, and I didn’t order the $350 steak but I recall that they had some of the best service of any steakhouse I’ve been in New York.

When I see ‘most expensive steak in Manhattan’ I immediately wonder 1) is it worth it? 2) what makes this steak so special? 3) is this a gimmick or could it possibly be worth $350? These are some difficult questions to answer, and this video from Zagat doesn’t do much to answer that question in only 54 seconds. But, before you jump to ‘no shot in hell is this steak worth $350’ I think it’s important to consider how much labor goes into putting this steak on the table, and I’m not talking just about the person preparing the steak, I’m talking about everything from the moment the rare cow was born.

This is 12oz of ‘A5+’ Wagyu beef. Wagyu beef comes from 4 different types of Japanese cows who are predisposed to produce meat with intense marbling, and thus a very high percentage of oleaginous unsaturated fat. This is some of the most sought after beef in the world, and if you’ve ever tasted this type of beef you know that it’s certainly worth more than your average cut.

What goes into preparing the $350 steak? I think we can all take some preparation tips from this video. The 12 ounces of A5+ Wagyu is heavily salted, with the salt being lightly rubbed into the beef. It’s then thrown on an extremely hot grill at the Old Homestead and drizzled in pre-melted butter, with the chef applying a good sear to both sides. The steak is then moved to another surface and more butter is drizzled while the chef sears the edges of the steak so it is entirely covered in that seared finish. The sides are pretty vanilla. It comes with a broccoli vegetable medley and is served on a plain plate.

This is a cut of beef that’s supposed to speak for itself. You’re not getting a steak covered in truffles and gold flake just to jack up the price. This cut of beef is what commands the exorbitant price and makes it the most expensive steak in Manhattan.

So, is it worth it?

Did you know that Leonardo DiCaprio was named after Leonardo da Vinci? Leo’s parents were on their honeymoon in Florence, Italy when they visited the Uffizi Gallery in 1974. “They were looking at a da Vinci painting, and allegedly I started kicking furiously while my mother was pregnant,” Leonardo told NPR back in 2014. “And my father took that as a sign, and I suppose DiCaprio wasn’t that far from da Vinci. And so, my dad, being the artist that he is, said, ‘That’s our boy’s name.'” So it makes perfect sense that Leonardo DiCaprio play Leonardo da Vinci.

After an “intense bidding war,” Paramount Pictures beat out Universal to acquire the rights to the Leonardo da Vinci biopic adapted from an upcoming book. DiCaprio will star as da Vinci and will also produce the movie about the Renaissance thinker and artist under his Appian Way production company. The film will be based on an upcoming Leonardo da Vinci book by famed biographer Walter Isaacson.

Isaacson is a New York Times Best Selling author who has written biographies on some of the greatest thinkers in history such as Albert Einstein, Benjamin Franklin, Henry Kissinger, and Steve Jobs. His 2007 book “Einstein: His Life and Universe” was adapted into National Geographic’s “Genius.” Isaacson’s “Steve Jobs” book became a biopic of the same name in 2015.

The “Leonardo da Vinci” book will be released October 17, 2017, and you can pre-order it HERE.

Now let’s see how much you think you know about Leonardo DiCaprio.

Everyone’s favorite Rolex-wearing, diamond ring-wearing, kiss-stealing, wheelin’ dealin’, limousine-riding, jet-flying son of a gun is in bad shape right now. Ric Flair has been hospitalized and admitted to an intensive care unit over the weekend. Originally, Flair was said to be getting a routine checkup, but reports now claim that it is a much, much more dire situation.

Late Sunday night, Melinda Morris Zanoni, the CEO of Legacy Talent LLC, tweeted out that the two-time WWE Hall of Famer needs “prayers & positive energy” because “he is dealing w/some tough medical issues.”

Pro Wrestling Sheet first reported the 68-year-old wrestler was hospitalized near his home in Atlanta on Saturday morning for heart-related issues, but it was said to be a “routine monitoring.” On Saturday, Zanoni wrote, “Yes, Ric is checked into a hospital for some routine monitoring. No, there is no reason to panic. Yes, Ric would want you to go out and have a great weekend … Nature Boy style!”

The 16-time world champion had just announced that he is featured in an ESPN “30 for 30” documentary about his life titled “Nature Boy.” Flair’s 30 for 30 will premiere on Tuesday, Nov. 7, at 10 p.m. ET on ESPN.

So send your prayers, thoughts, and “WOOOOO’s” for the “Nature Boy.”

It’s shockingly easy to lose all professional credibility when sending out work emails. All it takes is a handfulll of tiepos, a tone of voice that’s waaayyyyy too casual/familiar with prospective clients, and a few emojis. Because I do a ton of the Gear reviews around here, I see this happen every single day from people emailing me pitches about their new Kickstarter products and other products of that nature. I don’t see many emojis in emails, but I still get a handful of emails each week with these symbols in them and a new study sheds light on just how bad that can be for someone’s professional reputation.

Scientists from Ben-Gurion University found that including emojis in work emails can make you seem incompetent to your peers:

The researchers conducted a series of experiments that involved 549 participants from 29 countries.
In the first experiment, participants were asked to read a work-related email from an unknown person, and evaluated their competence and warmth.
While the content of the email was the same for all participants, some included smileys, and some did not.
The results showed that the smileys in the emails had no effect on the perception of warmth, but had a negative effect on the perception of competence.
…
…
Dr. Glikson added: ‘People tend to assume that a smiley is a virtual smile, but the findings of this study show that in the case of the workplace, at least as far as initial “encounters” are concerned, this is incorrect.
‘For now, at least, a smiley can only replace a smile when you already know the other person.
‘In initial interactions, it is better to avoid using smileys, regardless of age or gender.’ (via)

This seems like a no-brainer. You shouldn’t send professional emails with emojis, at all, ever. I don’t think an entire study was needed to prove this point because I could’ve told you this without any research to back it up, but I’m glad someone spent the money to conduct this experiment and the experts have came to the same conclusion as anyone who has ever received an email with emojis.

Again, DON’T SEND EMAILS WITH EMOJIS. IT MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE YOU DON’T TAKE YOUR JOB SERIOUSLY.

Airlines, can you please suck less? That’s all we ask. Hardly a week goes by in which we don’t hear some sort of traveling horror story thanks to an airline screwing something up. And talk about your airline screw-ups, this man trying to fly from Cologne, Germany back home to England somehow ended up in Las Vegas, 8,500 miles away from his planned destination.

It’s not like the airline didn’t have a chance to make sure this colossal error didn’t happen either. In fact, the airline had THREE chances to make sure it didn’t happen.

Reports Metro…

Finance Broker Samuel Jankowsky, 29, said that his boarding pass was checked three times by airline staff after he left Germany for Stansted.

He fell asleep for an hour and realised he was going the wrong way when he saw that the plane had gone over the UK on his in-flight tracker.

He frantically Whatsapped his pregnant wife using the on-board wifi before he landed 8,500 miles away in Las Vegas on June 30.

But he claims when he landed he was treated as ‘a common criminal’ by US immigration officials who he said threatened to detain him for not having a visa.

He eventually flew back to Cologne – but claims he was banned by Eurowings so had to travel to Stuttgart airport for a flight home.

“I put on my headphones and went to sleep. When I woke up I saw that we had passed the UK,” he recalled. “I asked the person next to me what was going on and he said: ‘We’re flying to Vegas.’ I said: ‘Oh f***! Can we turn the plane around?'”

“I didn’t even know Eurowings flew to Las Vegas,” said a dumbfounded Jankowsky.

“They seemed to think I had sneaked onto the plane to get a flight to Vegas on the cheap. They even put me in a little cell and completely searched me. I was supervised the whole time I was there.”

Jankowsky also said that the crew on the flight back treated him like a criminal, “It was like I was in the film Con Air.”

All in all the airline snafu ended up costing him 878.66 Euro for food, a hotel and the flight home.

“Heaven forbid my intentions were not good. This is a major security failing.”

One of the toughest assignments a player in the NFL today can be given is the task of covering Odell Beckham Jr. It doesn’t matter how prepared you think you are— when you line up against ODB, all bets are off. It’s only a matter of time before he manages to make a catch that makes you question whether or not the guy you’re covering is actually a human being. When you consider the number of crazy plays the wide receiver has been involved in over the course of his career, it’s enough to make you wonder.

Beckham has a long history of making the kind of catches that were traditionally reserved for Madden glitches. He continued to show off his skills at Giants training camp on Monday by making an incredible one-handed grab over the back of a defender, amazing everyone in attendance in the process.

Based on his track record, it’s not even safe to say that this is the best catch that ODB will make this season— which is really saying something.

We’re looking forward to another long season of Beckham making his opponents feel bad about themselves.

Son tells dad he doesn’t give a shit. Dad throws an improbable ace. Everyone goes wild…What?

On the surface, it might seem like the son doesn’t give a shit about his dad’s Frisbee Golf ace. I say that because we can clearly hear the son saying ‘dad, I don’t give a shit about this’ on the video. However, the video was cut short on both ends and what the son is referring to is the dad’s lecture about the type of shot he was about to throw on Aspen Mountain.

The son actually took to the comments of Reddit in an attempt to clear his name, and prove that he actually has a great relationship with his dad. Here’s what he had to say: “So actually that’s my dad and my brother is filming. This clip cuts out the beginning, in which dad is giving us a lecture on his throw, and my brother is trying to speed him up with the comments in the video. We’ve all got a great relationship and yes, we give each other shit like that on the DG course.” The son followed up with this pic to show that he’s not a terrible son, and in fact cares a lot about his dad’s ace:

Tim Tebow continues to touch lives wherever he goes. The former NFL quarterback is currently playing with the St. Lucie Mets, and while he may not be raking on the field (.239 batting average and 5 home runs in 46 games), he is getting it done when it comes to brightening the days of fans off the field. On Sunday, the St. Lucie Mets were playing the Tampa Yankees and Tebow was out there signing memorabilia. One fan named Danny Terp‏ politely asked Tebow if he could give a special shoutout to his nana. “Tim, can you say hi to my grandma? Can you say ‘Hello Miss Margaret?’” Tebow graciously said hi to Danny’s grandma. “What’s up Miss Margaret. It’s Tim Tebow. Hope you’re having a good day. God bless.”

The simple gesture went a long way because when the grandmother saw the video she lit up. The grandson said that this was his grandmother’s biggest smile since she suffered a stroke.

This comes only days after Tebow shook the hand of an autistic boy and then promptly smashed a three-run tater.

Tebow continues to be a ray of sunshine to his supporters and fans.

Taco Bell

In 2012, we all applauded when Taco Bell unveiled the Doritos Locos Taco, a food which is inarguably one of the wonders of the modern world. The creation came just a couple of years after the debut of the KFC Double Down, and it was becoming clear that we were entering a new culinary era where anything was possible, Unfortunately, nobody could have predicted the monster we’d accidentally created.

The mad scientists in the Taco Bell corporate kitchens soon became mad with power, unleashing ungodly creation after ungodly creation onto an unsuspecting world. It was only a matter of time until we were subjected to a Cooler Ranch version of the aforementioned taco, a fried chicken chalupa, and— most recently— a burrito with spicy pop rocks inside.

Taco Bell even decided to start serving breakfast a few years back in an attempt to lure in customers who are looking for a reason to hate themselves before 10 AM. This is especially true of anyone who’s brave enough to try the Naked Egg Taco, the latest in a long line of culinary crimes committed by the company.

The taco, which will roll out nationwide starting August 31st, features a fried egg for a shell that contains hash browns, cheese, and bacon or sausage. Customers are given the option to cover up the egg with a gordita shell, an option that will surely land you in hell for the deadly sin of gluttony.

The taco will cost $1.99, but as Mashable notes, diners who really want to regret their decision to get Taco Bell for breakfast can add a coffee, two Cinnabon Delights, and a hash brown for another $2.

If—for some weird reason—you can’t wait to try the taco, you’ll also be able to make reservations at certain locations on OpenTable, because this is apparently the world we’re living in now.

May God have mercy on us all.

Isn’t pre-season the best? It’s a time when we can argue about things like who has the best handshakes in the NFL instead of stressing over every single play. A time of the year when we can admire the new NFL Color Rush Helmets instead of bemoaning how shitty Thursday Night Football is.

On Sunday, New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. released this video on his Facebook page and it shows that the Giants are a step ahead of the league when it comes to handshakes. A quick look at the comments will reveal a lot of triggered Giants fans complaining that the team is spending too much time practicing handshakes and not enough time about football, and to those people, I’d just like to say that WE’RE TALKING ABOUT PRACTICE!

Comments from triggered Giants fans include things like “Maybe y’all should practice catching the fn ball instead of this crap?” and “If y’all practiced football instead of your freaking dance moves and stupid handshakes, the playoffs wouldn’t be such a pipe dream!” It seems that the commenters on Facebook are under the impression that every second of every waking minute must be spent physically running drills on the practice field. That there’s nothing else to the game of Football other than catching passes…

Heaven forbid these dudes bond off the field, in the offseason, or in the locker room, am I right? (h/t DIGG Video)

Last we heard about Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and his dating life he was reportedly seeing SI Swimsuit model slash golf guru slash Baywatch star Kelly Rohrbach. Something that was allegedly making Rodgers’ ex-girlfriend Olivia Munn both “terrified” and “furious.” (Though it seems to me that she’s been doing just fine without him, thank you very much.)

Well, now apparently Aaron Rodgers and Kelly Rohrbach are no more (or never were, depending on who you believe). At least according to a new report by Page Six which says Rodgers, 33, has a new love interest in his cross-hairs.

Her name is Marie Margolius, a 24-year-old soccer player who graduated from Harvard in 2015 and then went on to play professionally for Ope IF in Sweden.

Rodgers was spotted on a date with soccer player Marie Margolius at the Martignetti brothers’ Upper East Side celebrity haunt the East Pole on Sunday night.

“They arrived at around 10 p.m. and seemed to be on a date. He wore a baseball cap and asked for the quietest, most out-of-the-way table possible. His hat was tilted down. It definitely seemed like he wanted to be incognito,” an insider told us.

The athletic duo sat close to each other in a quiet booth and feasted on cheeseburgers and monkfish and drank malbec and pinot noir. We’re told they ended the evening by sipping espresso and strolling together down the street.

Malbec and pinot noir? I wonder if that’s a part of Rodgers’ “drastic” new lifestyle changes?

Here are a few more pics of Margolius, in case you were curious…

When you think of Leonardo DiCaprio what comes to mind? His acting skills? His activism? His memorable characters he has portrayed in the movies? His beautiful girlfriends? If you fancy the latter, you are in luck because Leo is said to have a new gal pal. She certainly checks off a lot of boxes of the typical DiCaprio girlfriend: Gorgeous – Check. Model – Check. Under 25 – Check. Except this young woman is not blonde, a characteristic of most of the Hollywood actor’s flames.

DiCaprio was spotted with stunning 23-year-old brunette model Lorena Rae as reports Page Six.

On Monday, the “Great Gatsby” actor was seen with Rae and a male pal having lunch at Hillstone on Park Avenue, where, a spy tells us, “they seem like an item,” and, “They walked out together, he pulled down his hat over his eyes.” A witness also spotted them at MoMA PS1 on Monday, from which she posted photos on Instagram. Rae was also seen Citi Biking with DiCaprio and his crew last week, but sources say the pair has known one another for a while. Rae was also pictured hanging out with DiCaprio and his entourage in Monaco at the end of May. Rae also appeared in July aboard a yacht in photos with DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire and pals in St-Tropez.

However, a rep for DiCaprio stated that “they’re not dating.” Is Leo ever technically “dating?” Whatever Leo and the attractive Lorena Rae are doing, there is no disputing that she is absolutely breathtaking.

In other Leonardo DiCaprio lives a charmed life news, he will play great Renaissance thinker Leonardo da Vinci in an upcoming movie, who he was actually named after.

So I was all set to write about how one of the most innovative and technologically savvy men in the entire world, Bill Gates, had finally joined Instagram this week. I know this because I follow another super-genius in Richard Branson and he announced it on his Instagram account this morning (above).

I thought that would be the big Bill Gates news for the day: “Richest Man In The World Who Made His Money from Technology Finally Joins Instagram.” (Yes, he is still the richest man in the world. Sorry, Jeff Bezos, but you already lost that title back to Gates.)

Boy, was I WAYYY OFF.

That’s because Gates also did something else just a tad bit more noteworthy this week. A little thing about him donating $4.6 BILLION to charity. Yes, BILLION.

Reports Bloomberg…

Bill Gates made his largest gift since the turn of the century, giving away Microsoft Corp. shares that accounted for 5 percent of his fortune, the world’s biggest.

The billionaire donated 64 million of the software maker’s shares valued at $4.6 billion on June 6, according to a Securities & Exchange Commission filing released Monday. While the recipient of the gift wasn’t specified, Gates has made the majority of his donations to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the charity he and his wife use to direct their philanthropic efforts.

It’s the largest gift of Microsoft shares that Gates has made since 2000. The 61-year-old gave away $16 billion worth of Microsoft shares in 1999 and $5.1 billion a year later, according to calculations by Bloomberg.

All told, according to Bloomberg, Bill and Melinda Gates have given away about $35 billion in stock and cash since 1994. This now means that Gates’ stock in Microsoft is now down to just 1.3 percent today versus the 24 percent he owned back in 1996. He still currently remains the richest person in the world.

Oh yeah, here are Gates’ first two Instagram efforts, as if any of that matters now. Ha!

Here’s the thing people seem to forget about flip flops — not every pair is created to withstand constant exposure to water. In other words, just because you can wear them NEAR a body of water, that doesn’t mean they’ll hold up after getting wet 100 times.

Most flip flops will fall apart, lose shape or start to stink of sweaty feet and salt water. But not these IZOD Beach Break flip flops. They’re made to hit the surf, the pool, the lake, or even the bathtub.

The wide upper band has a soft brushed lining, that feels great but won’t absorb water. The “ripple soft” footbed is great under the foot, and the all-synthetic materials make this sporty sandal beach ready, and water friendly whether poolside or watching the waves.

Not bad for an $11 dollar pair of sandals that will last forever.

Uwe Ehinger has been a Harley Davidson fanatic since the age of 17 and has spent his life traveling the world in search of the rarest of the rare. The German has scoured dusty garages and warehouses in South Korea, Mexico, Chile and beyond in the hopes of finding abandoned and forgotten motorcycles that he could bring back home and refurbish.

According to his website, Ehinger has devoted his life to “preserving the spirit of the old machines,” and he recently decided it was only natural to combine his interest in motorcycles with actual spirits. The result was The Archeologist, a gin infused with vintage Harley Davidson parts for reasons we’re still trying to figure out.

The limited edition dry gin comes in bottle bottles containing a a part from one of three different motorcycles: a 1939 Flathead (which retails for 900 euros), a 1947 Knucklehead (1,000 euros), and a 1962 Panhead (1,100 euros).

While the gin itself is infused with juniper berries and other botanicals, it doesn’t seem like the parts would actually have much of an impact on the flavor of the spirit itself. Based on the price tag, it would appear that Ehinger views this as more of an art project than anything else.

With that said, if you’re in the market for an incredibly expensive conversation, The Archeologist is made for you.

Few things in life are more stressful than an important job interview. You’re dressed in clothes you don’t normally wear, in an unfamiliar room, speaking to strangers, and you are expected to answer questions and perform at 100%. Glassdoor is one of the world’s best and fastest growing marketplaces for jobs, and the Glassdoor CEO Robert Hohman is one of the industry’s top experts.

He recently spoke with Business Insider about the single most important factor in nailing a job interview. The one thing that everyone needs to do in order to perform well in an interview really isn’t that complicated, and I think it’s quasi-basic knowledge. But Glassdoor CEO Rober Hohman goes into depth on why everyone should be informed:

“At a macro level, really the most important thing you can do when getting a job is to be informed,” Robert Hohman told Business Insider.
“Be informed, understand the company that you’re interviewing with. Make sure it’s the company that you think it is and it’s really a fit for you – culturally, their mission, vision, and values standpoint.
“Then, make it your business to understand that company: its issues, its problems, its challenges. And talk about them in the interview. When someone shows up and has done their homework, it’s so stark and it stands out.” (via)

It sounds simple, right? Do as much homework as possible about the company you’re working for. It’s not like the person interviewing you is typically going to grill you with questions about the company itself, but you need to know as much about the industry as possible. Your resumé is always going to speak for itself, but it’s important to read every piece of information you can about the job, company, and industry before an interview so you can relate your work experience (or lack thereof) to the job at hand. It’s shocking how many people don’t actually take the time to do this. (h/t Business Insider)

If you’re in the market for a spacious mansion that is currently owned by an all-time great rapper, you are in luck. Eminem has put his luxurious 5.7-acre compound in Oakland Township, Michigan up for sale. With a price tag of only $1.999 million, this beauty is a steal since Eminem originally purchased the mansion for $4.8 million back in 2003 from the former CEO of Kmart. Sadly for Marshall Mathers, the Michigan housing market has tanked in recent years, forcing him to sell his Rochester Hills mansion for less than half of what he paid for it 14 years ago.

The gorgeous five-bedroom mansion was built in 1986 and features 17,500 square feet of living space spread across 22 rooms. The Detroit rapper’s abode boasts 8.5 bathrooms, a 1,500-square-foot entertainment room, and a three-car garage. The compound offers a guard house, groomed pond, waterfall, pool, entertainment cabana, spa, tennis court, and basketball court. To live like a rap god for less than $2 million is a bargain.
