Jaromir Jagr, who is almost 50 years old, is an absolute UNIT, should come back to the NHL as an enforcer

We'd never say never, but it feels safe to declare that Jaromir Jagr's NHL career is officially over, even if he's still a snipe show at the age of 47. No matter how good that wrister still is, few teams have much use for a slow, aging forward who'd have trouble keeping up with the Connor McDavids, Jack Eichels and Mitch Marners of the modern-day NHL.

Perhaps there is another path back to the show for Jagr, who has stated in the past that is goal was to play in the NHL until he was 50, and even beyond. If he were to take on the role of enforcer, which, as we know, is a dying position in the league, maybe he could be of assistance to a club. Unlike Milan Lucic, he'd be an enforcer that could occasionally score once in awhile.
If this sounds like a crazy idea, it shouldn't. Jagr posted a picture of himself shirtless to Instagram on Tuesday, and he looks like a guy we would NOT want to me..

Footage of Mike Tyson shadowboxing at 53 years old is still scary as hell

The idea of “old man strength” has been discussed since Adam turned 50 and tried to bench-press Eve. Whether a guy truly gets stronger the older he gets has been researched and written about ad nauseam, yet you won't need to open a book or crunch the numbers to know that Mike Tyson at 53 years old would still kick punch the shit out of you.

I mean, he's wearing jeans and a golf shirt—not optimal sparring ware—and he's still darting around with the energy and footwork of the former most terrifying fighter on the planet. I'm getting tired just looking at how fast he's moving.

Sidenote: Tyson must be great at weddings, quinceaneras and bar-mitzvahs. When it's time to “Cha Cha Slide” or “Cotton Eye Joe,” the once undisputed world heavyweight champion would probably also be the undisputed world dancing champion.

Byeong Hun An’s dad, who is an Olympic medalist, could beat you at ping pong with a wooden spoon

This week on the PGA Tour many of the top players in the world make the trip to Jeju Island, South Korea for the CJ Cup @ Nine Bridges, the first event of the tour's Asian swing. For the South Koreans in the field like Byeong Hun An, Sung Kang, Si Woo Kim and others, it's the only spot on the schedule that provides them with a chance to play a home game.

Being back in his home country gave An some time to hang out with his dad, An Jae-Hyeong, who won the bronze medal in Men's Doubles table tennis at the 1988 Summer Olympics, which took place in their home city of Seoul. As An explains in the video below, scoring even one point against his father is hard, and scoring two is a minor miracle. That's why the only way it's a fair fight is if they put a handicap on the game. This particular time, that handicap was An's dad having to play with a wooden spoon:

Michael Jordan selling $7.5-million Utah utopia with golf simulator and Glenwild G.C. views

Jeff KravitzWe've featured plenty of eye-watering athlete real estate on The Loop over the years. Shaq, Big Ben, TB12, KD, Super Mario, and, um, Maverick McNealy's dad. The list is longer than some of their winding, gated driveways. But we've never seen anything quite as wonderfully, obscenely over-the-top as Michael Jordan's $7.5 million, 9,574-square-foot Park City pad, which just hit the market. They don't call him the GOAT for nothing.

The five-bedroom spread is predictably amenity-rich, featuring a gym, a wet bar, a home theater, and a quintet of fireplaces. In typical Jumpman fashion, though, it's not what you do, but how you do it, and the entire abode is drenched in Italian marble and Swiss Pearwood, with heaping doses of Macassar ebony and bamboo flooring tying it all together. There's also a six-Maserati garage, should ..
