New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez battled pingpong legend Marty Reisman in an epic match at SPiN New York recently, The New York Post reported Thursday.

Reisman, 80, dominated the game, "proving that age and muscle isn't the most important factor in playing pingpong," said one observer.

Reisman, who developed his skills as a hustler playing for money at Lawrence's table-tennis emporium on Broadway and 54th Street in Manhattan, beat Sanchez in front of teammates Erik Ainge, Nick Folk, Steve Weatherford and Danny Woodhead.
