On the other hand, when Matthews scored his last goal aged 48 it won Stoke City promotion to the First Division and earned him his second Footballer of the Year award. Matthews was so badass that pictures of him are not required and may in fact break the forums. Oldest player to play top flight professional football at 50 (Miura's team are second division), oldest player to win FWA Footballer of the Year by some 14 years, and in a senior career lasting 35 years and 697 appearances he was never booked or sent off. He was a player who legends thought was a legend.

Considering that soccer is a lot like hockey in that you go pro at 17 or 18 and are usually done because you're getting outpaced by 40, that is amazingly impressive. The fact he was an extremely clean player just makes him even cooler. Speaking of old hockey players! Gordie Howe retired from professional hockey when he was 52 years old. Hockey. The sport where people fly up and down ice wearing knives on their feet and slam each other into planes of glass and are known to have no teeth left after a career. He's unarguably one of the best to have ever played the sport, and despite the fact that he played for such an unlikable crappy team full of ne'er-do-wells and ragamuffins (the Red Wings suck), after Mario Lemieux, he's my second favorite player of all time.

If you've got a goal and assist and see someone on the other side with the same you're pretty much going to have to fight. I don't know much about hockey but I can't see how it would work any other way.

And then using his connections to organise a trip to get these kids to Brazil so they could play a tournament there and meet Zico, which was their dream. Dude owned so hard

Hockey is very badass and you should all watch the playoffs this year. One aspect I find particularly badass is deflection goals. A guy uses a stick to launch a frozen 3" piece of rubber upwards of 175km/h and another guy tips it mid flight to change the angle. Incidental tips will happen, but in the videos below guys are doing this intentionally. Always blows my mind. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joq5SmjTa2A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uge1zxdPKuY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0Xw7Q_zWKc e: one more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQ3GXX6o1Fs e2: and a bonus of Crosby doing wizard things: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlhJdMVCr9c Cocaine Bear has a new favorite as of 17:16 on Mar 25, 2019 |

“The purpose of the collar is to protect the dog wearing it when it has to fight the wolves. The collar base protects the dog’s throat and carotid arteries, while the spikes are intended to deter bites to the neck or even injure wolves trying to do so.”   also Tibetan Mastiffs were bred to protect sheep from wolves and tigers, which is why they have the big mane to protect their necks

I always liked the Rhodesian Ridgeback. They fight lions. And a dog that fights lions is cool in my book. And they look like cool chill dogs (I guess they're not unless you train the hell out of them):

Oh hey I lived with a Kangal/Dogo mix for a year and like his owner said, he was cool until he wasn't. He ripped several smaller dogs to bits while I lived there. Never lost any of the farm critters to wild animals, though, and he was somehow a great people dog. Dude's head was the size of a basketball and he was supposed to be paralyzed when he was a puppy. His back legs didn't work great but he didn't give a poo poo. Here's another badass Kangal

I remember someone in Pet Island here who had a Maremma (which I believe is the white dog pictured with the wolf collar) that ate through a wall to get out and sit with the goats or horses during a storm. Can't remember who though, it was a while ago.

I believe that was a great pyrenees which is another livestock guardian dog. My uncle has two of them for his farm and they are gigantic friendly doofs unless you are a threat to their sheep friends. They managed to scare off and tree a cougar once! Good dogs.

Can't remember who though, it was a while ago. If I remember correctly, the dog was in an empty loose box in a stable because it was recovering from loving parvo, so it really needed to rest a lot in a warm, quiet place, but his drive to protect his flock of goats was so strong he broke into the next box, fought his way past an enemy horse which was living there and was found the next day up in the pasture with the goats - a bit frail and battered but nevertheless On Guard .edit: found it: quote:When Chief came down with parvo (despite being vaccinated) we thought it would be a wonderful idea to lock him in my tack room while he was recovering, since it was the middle of winter, the whether was poo poo, and he was still pretty weak.
