IndyCar Toronto Goes Twice On Sunday

((HT: NBCSN))

The rain came plowing through the streets of Toronto yesterday and the IndyCar series was supposed to have two points races over a weekend. The whole weekend got condensed after two false starts and matching red flags.

How bad did it get...??? The pace car didn't even escape...


And in the second restart, Will Power ended up backwards...


The races were supposed to go two hours or 85 laps each.
The weather has moved everything to 65 laps and 90 minutes each Sunday.

But the cars didn't even get out of Lap 1 before wrecking everyone from 10th on back as rookie Luca Filippi got into Simon Pagenaud. The first race was red flagged Sunday as well while they cleaned up Turn 10.

OSG Prem: Liverpool Wins At The Death, Newcastle In Freefall

Two games called off today because of heavy wind and rain...

And it was really bad at the Etihad where the game between Sunderland and Man City was postponed because of winds that were in the neighborhood of 100mph at times- even knocking over big periodical stands (pictured right, thanks Reuters).
The game between Everton and Crystal Palace was also postponed because of conditions.

No word on when those games will be made up. The reason for the mid-week match-ups is the FA Cup games that are set for the weekend to whittle that field down even further as the teams get another round closer to playing for a title at Wembley.

The Man City game was postponed only 75 minutes before kick and the Citizens are still alive in all four cup competitions at present. This postponement could make things dicey in the schedule as we get to the end of the year...

So... around the league...

Stoke and Swansea drew at 1
Arsenal and Manchester United did nothing and each walked away with a point in a goalless draw
And what has gotten into Spurs Emmanuel Adebayor...???

Two more goals for Tim Sherwood and Tottenham dismantled Newcastle, 4-0, and the HQ wonders about the patience level involving Alan Pardew- even if he is mid-table. Since the sale of Cabaye, the offense has gone out the window...

Even if it's not his fault...

But the match of the day is Liverpool-Fulham, and yes, the HQ knows what you're thinking...
No, it's not a misprint...

Liverpool's Kolo Toure almost made it a long day for the Reds with a whiff that turned into an own goal in the match against Fulham...
((HT: BPL))


But after being down 1-0 and 2-1, a late penalty kick by Gerrard gave Liverpool a huge three points off the 3-2 win...

From Chelsea to Spurs, it's only a 7-point range and it's getting good...

Spurs-Wolves PPD'd By Smoke

((HT: Sportsnet))

The San Antonio Spurs-Minnesota Timberwolves game was supposed to happen in Mexico City this evening...

But this happened...
Mexico City Police said in a statement there was a fire in the generator room on the fourth floor of the arena that opened in 2012. “What happened was provoked by a short circuit in the room of generators,” the statement said in Spanish.

The game will be made up in Minnesota some time this season...
