We're starting to get the feeling Rickie Fowler isn't thrilled with the USGA's new drop rule/pilates workout. He's not the only one, of course, but Fowler had perhaps the highest profile run-in with the new rule last week after shanking his approach on the opening hole of his second round at the WGC-Mexico Championship and taking a formerly legal shoulder-height drop. He quickly realized his mistake and informed the rules official, but the damage was done, and Fowler went on to card a triple bogey 7.
It could have (and maybe should have) ended there, but Rickie Fowler is nothing if not the Fun Guy™, so on Thursday afternoon, Fowler took a little time out of his opening 18 at the Honda Classic to troll the acrobatic new rule with some gymnastics of his own. Golf dads of the world, if you see your little ones dropping like this next week, just know this is where they got it from. (Also condolences—as they say, you can't pick your kids.)

After playing in the NHL for 23 seasons, father time finally caught up to the legendary Jaromir Jagr last year. Just 22 games into the 2017-’18 NHL season, Jagr’s 24th as a pro, the Calgary Flames terminated his contract due to injury (and age) concerns, a necessary but unfitting end to one of the most storied careers in NHL history.

Jagr was never able to fulfill his last, seemingly unattainable goal: play in the NHL until he was 50. He’s even been quoted in the past as saying he’d play until 55 or even 60 if they’d let him. Unrealistic? Maybe, but for a guy who had 66 points in the NHL as a 43-year-old, and keeps himself in great physical shape, why not?
Staying true to his word, Jagr is still playing professionally, just not in the NHL. Now at 47-years-young, he’s back home in the Czech Repbulic, where he’s currently playing for HC Kladano. Through three games this season Jagr had three assists an..

Michael ReavesThe Mets have enough on their, uh, plate right now without having to teach players basic life skills. There's a new Jacob DeGrom contract to get over the line, a glut of offseason acquisitions to bed in, and former nemesis Bryce Harper is (probably, maybe, eventually) going to plop right back down in the division. Unfortunately on Wednesday, almost exactly one month from opening day, the Mets weren't working on infield shifts or bullpen strategy, but instead culinary 101, after outfielder Brandon Nimmo gave himself food poisoning while attempting to cook chicken and sweet potatoes. A new and inevitably calamitous Mets season is now officially underway.

Nimmo, who cranked 17 homers, batted in 47 RBIS, and logged an impressive .886 OPS last season, is expected to be a consistent contributor this season, but first he needs to learn that when it comes to poultry, there's not such thing as medium rare. F..
