God Save Queens Park Rangers, The Most Fun Bad Team In The EPL
QPR aren't very good. In fact, they're quite terrible. They have the Premier League's second-worst points-per-game rate, have given up by far the most goals, and look generally incompetent performing many of the duties usually required of an EPL-quality club. But goddammit if they aren't the most ...

Yeah, Dustin Byfuglien's Going To Be Suspended For This

Rangers Goalie Cam Talbot Somehow Stopped This Shot
Nicklas Backstrom, on the right, received a pass from Joel Ward across the goal. He had the puck at this moment. Look at where Rangers goalie Cam Talbot is, and all the wide-open net available. Backstrom shot; Talbot made the save....

Yu Darvish To Miss At Least Four Months, Might Have Tommy John Surgery
The Texas Rangers will be without the services of All-Star pitcher Yu Darvish for at least four months, as the team announced that an MRI showed Darvish sprained the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow.

Lotsa Rougneds

Premier League Manager Resigns Because His Knee Hurts
The good ol', free-wheelin', tactics-ignorin', loveable Harry Redknapp is in pain. Not, he'd have us believe, because of his struggling QPR team's lackluster Premier League performances, or the because his owner laughed off the prospect of adding any bodies in the newly-closed transfer window while ...
The Weirdness Of The NHL's First Modern Outdoor Game
On September 27, 1991, the Rangers and Kings played a preseason game on a rink built in a Las Vegas parking lot.

No Sexy Hangers: The Ask A Clean Person Holiday Gift Guide Rejects
Each year since I became a professional Clean Person—as opposed to what I was prior to that, which was a regular old compulsively clean and weirdly knowledgeable person—I've taken great joy from compiling a guide of holiday gifts to give to loved ones, clean or dirty. This year's version appears o...

Liverpool Still Rely On A Player They No Longer Have

Angry Tennis Player Flings Racket; Lineswoman Nearly Dies Of Fright
One possible headline to this post could be "Frustrated Tennis Player Smokes Lineswoman With Racket," but that wouldn't be entirely accurate. Darian King did wheel around and chuck his racket after losing a crucial point, and it did hit the nearby lineswoman, but it's pretty obviously accidental....
FA Charges Rio Ferdinand With Misconduct, Probably For "Yo Mama" Joke
The English FA can't really be this uptight, can they? Today, the Premier League's governing body has announced that it has charged QPR's Rio Ferdinand with misconduct for a Tweet of his, without mentioning the specific one. It appears that it is this little bit of humor, sent to a bantering Mancu...
Fans Of The TV Show Castle Angry At Sports
In the bottom of the eighth inning of the first game of the ALDS series between the Baltimore Orioles and Detroit Tigers, the Orioles offense went gangbusters and sent 14 players to the plate as well as prompting three pitching changes.

Guilder Rodríguez Gets First Big League Hit After 1,095 Games In Minors
Baseball's expanded September rosters are mostly just useful for letting fans of non-contending teams get a glimpse of the future. But two weeks ago the Texas Rangers did something pretty cool: they called up 31 year old utility infielder Guilder Rodríguez, who had played 1,095 games with ten diff...

Ron Washington Acknowledges Infidelity, Doesn't Explain Why He Resigned
Ron Washington resigned abruptly as Rangers manager on Sept. 5, with GM Jon Daniels offering only that it was "not drug-related." At a press conference today, Washington offered the tiniest sliver of explanation—and a big red flag that something worse is hanging over his head....
Soccer's Faulty New Money Rule Hurts The Clubs It Was Meant To Protect
Queens Park Rangers are the latest victim of Financial Fair Play, the laudably-aimed yet poorly calibrated rules which are in theory meant to keep teams solvent but in practice keep them from sensibly spending to improve their position, or even from spending money they actually have. Yesterday, Engl...
