((HT: beINSports/SkyBet Championship))
It is called the most expensive game in all of soccer...
The winner of the Championship League play-in game gets the third slot in the 2014-15 Premier League and it looked like QPR and Derby County were heading to extra time scoreless...
Until this in the 90th minute...
((HT:SnappyTV))
And Zamora did just that...
Manager Harry Redknapp stayed with Tony Fernandes' squad, who played a man down, and head back to a league where the prevailing thoughts are that the win was worth 120-million pounds worth of television rights, sponsor dollars, and all the other bells and whistles that come with the league...

Giancarlo Stanton: Two Words, Two Homers
((HT: MLB.com))
At one point last night, the Miami Marlins had three hits... all three were solo home runs...
Two were absolute bombs by Giancarlo Stanton..
Milwaukee was in complete control of the game- winning in Miami 9-5, but the HQ can't wait for arbitration and free agency for some of their kids...

Jimmy Walker Plunks Bird With Tee Shot
((ht: cbssports.com))
Oh my, the jokes we tell ya. Oh the jokes.
No, PGA Tour golfer Jimmy Walker didn't yell "Dy-no-mite!" (look it up) to warn the bird nor did he get a "birdie" on the hole, but he did hit a bird.
Check out Walker's tee shot on the 17th hole at the Crowne Plaza Invitational at The Colonial golf club in Texas.
Watch closely....
Yes, the ball actually HITS a bird and deflects down on the fairway...okay, the rough.
Walker went on to par the hole and finished at 5-under Friday, putting him 2 shots off the lead going into round 3 on Saturday.
But he'll never top this highlight...

Bubba Watson With Best Goofy Golf Putt Ever
Kids, don't try this at home.
But we suppose you could try it at your local Adventure Golf or Goony Golf or whatever it is near where you live.
Check out PGA tour star and Masters champ Bubba Watson playing around with some of his friends at what appears to be a Disney course. (notice the mouse ears)
Bubba lines it up, putts the ball...the other way.
The ball rolls across the cement, through the hole behind him, banks off the side...
Nothing but net...

DEVELOPING: Sterlings Take The Next Step
Surprising no one, Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling has transferred ownership of the franchise to his wife, Shelly, in their first attempt to keep the NBA from taking the team from them.
Shelly Sterling, per multiple reports will be charged with overseeing the sale of the franchise to a yet-to-be determined buyer.
But, according to Ramona Shelburne who has been on top of this since the beginning, it is still unclear just how much of the Clippers she is willing to sell on orders from her husband. And that's where the semantics kicks in.
From NBA spokesman Mike Bass:
"We continue to follow the process set forth in the NBA Constitution regarding termination of the current ownership interests in the Los Angeles Clippers and are proceeding toward a hearing on this matter on June 3."
James Rainey of the LA Times discusses how the V.Stiviano/Sterling relationship brought all of this stuff forward very quickly with Steve Edwards of "Good Day LA"

Rangers Carcillo Does Something Stupid That Could Cost
((HT: SomeHockeyVideos/CBC))
The New York Rangers Dan Carcillo could be gone for a while...
You, simply, do not do this...
Carcillo, understandably, got an ejection for that from linesman Scott Driscoll. And it will be Driscoll's report to the league office that will determine the length of any suspension. Some people are talking ten games, some twenty games.
Keep an eye on any references to rules 40.2 and/or 40.3
From the league rule book:
40.2 Automatic Suspension – Category I - Any player who deliberately strikes an official and causes injury or who deliberately applies physical force in any manner against an official with intent to injure, or who in any manner attempts to injure an official shall be automatically suspended for not less than twenty (20) games. (For the purpose of the rule, “intent to injure” shall mean any physical force which a player or goalkeeper knew or should have known could reasonably be expected to cause injury.)
40.3 Automatic Suspension – Category II - Any player who deliberately applies physical force to an official in any manner (excluding actions as set out in Category I), which physical force is applied without intent to injure, or who spits on an official, shall be automatically suspended for not less than ten (10) games.
With Montreal now only down a game, it will be interesting to see how much the suspension will impact the Rangers plans from here forward in the rest of the series.
