How old is Vince Carter? Trae Young—and most of the 2018 NBA Draft class—wasn’t even born when Carter was drafted

You know you're getting old as a sports fan when the athletes you root for start to get older than you are. It happens to all of us when we get older. How about for Vince Carter, and you're now playing with fellow basketball players who weren't even born when you started playing in the league?
Carter agreed to a deal to a $2.4 million, one-year deal on Wednesday with the Atlanta Hawks, where he'll team up with rookie Trae Young, who started at the University of Oklahoma last season. The crazy thing? Young was three months away from being born when Carter was drafted in the 1998 NBA Draft. Same for Hawks rookie Kevin Huerter, who played two seasons with the University of Maryland before being drafted by the Hawks this year. This will be Carter's 20th season in the league.
We'd hope the new class of NBA players have seen Vince Carter highlight videos—VC jumping over 7-foot-2 Fredric Weis and dunking on him in the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney might be one o..

Mario Lemieux’s $22-million-dollar, 17-fireplace castle is officially on the market

Nat LapointeIt's been just a couple weeks since news broke that Derek Jeter was selling his $15 million dollar Hudson Valley haunt, and now it appears yet another aging sports icon, Mario Lemieux, is following suit. Castles are, like, soooooo 2017.
North of Jeter's place both in terms of location—perched at the foot of Quebec's Mont Tremblant—and price—a whopping $21,999,066—Lemieux's so-called “Fleur de Lys” (ick) features 17,000 square feet of goodies, including 50 rooms, 17 fireplaces, a theater, a pool, a spa, a tennis court, a gym, a wine cellar, and guesthouse that makes your actual house look like a tool shed. But enough details. You can't afford this place anyway. Let's get to the pictures so we can play make believe for five seconds:

The Web.com Tour extended a special invitation to the Club Pro Guy for its Kansas City event, making his followers incredibly happy

One-handed rakes, punch-out club twirls and Mexican drug cartel run-ins appear like they're coming to the Web.com Tour's Kansas City event in a few weeks. The tour announced on Wednesday that they have extended a special exemption into next week's KC Golf Classic's Monday qualifier to the Club Pro Guy, one of the best follows in golf social media.
Any golfer on social media likely follows the Club Pro Guy, a hilarious parody account run anonymously but has accumulated 60,000 followers for his dead-on humor about all things golf. The former Mexican mini-tour star has appeared on the Golf Channel a handful of times, in the pages of Golf Digest and on podcasts like No Laying Up and the Tour Junkies. But every time, he's managed to keep his identity unknown—with the Golf Channel blurring out his face. If Club Pro Guy does, in fact, take up the Web.com Tour on this offer, he'll be showing his face in public. And we're sure folks will share it on social med..

Just a heads up that the Internet got it wrong about a supposed ninja shortage

FIRST, THE GOOD NEWS: We, as a planet, have plenty of ninjas. Loads of ninjas. Too many ninjas, probably, enough that we got bored teaching the ancient silent death arts to humans and began spawning mutant turtles, just for something to do. Enough that we invented a game show in which people equate a 500-year-old Eastern legend with flinging themselves over elevated monkey bars in downtown Tulsa. Rest assured that tonight, when you rest your noggin on your memory foam pillow, you live in a world stuffed to the brim with three things: Yankees closers, people who are easily duped by Sacha Baron Cohen, and ninjas.
But here’s the bad news: Despite having been fooled seven billion times in the last four days, the internet jumped on an
awesome-sounding headline, got the story totally 100% wrong and will pay for it by preeeeeeeeetty much doing the same shit the next time Ken Bone shows up or a douche-looking guy appears to steal a foul ball from an adorable moppet. (And here let me pause to s..

This designer gave NHL stars some sweet vintage salad and we can’t get enough

Here in the Northern Hemisphere, it's the dead of summer. The last thing that should be on our minds is a bunch of dudes who say “about” kind of funny zinging around a sheet of ice on lace-up razor blades. Bikini season and whether or not Tiger can make a run at Bellerive? Sure, but not hockey. Anything but hockey.
And yet, here we are, dreaming of cool nights and center ice fights…and it's all Joey Tang's fault. Joey is a designer and, from the looks of things, a pretty damn good one. This week he teamed up with BarDown (think The Loop, only with gravy on their fries) to launch a series of mockey cards that feature today's biggest stars rocking flow and facial hair plucked straight out of Doc Brown's DeLorean, and we are unsurprisingly obsessed. Get a load of these apples, Warhol:
