As if we needed another reason to love Burnley ...

What's that, you didn't give two shits about them to begin with? Well that's about to change, because this tasty nugget from the soon-to-be relegated EPL Burnley side is golden.

One of their starters, Kevin McDonald, decided to leave the stadium after getting pulled in the first half of a 6-1 thrashing vs. Man City ... to go have a beer with his dad at a local bar. Awesome.

Now that's a team player. In fairness, at the time of his removal, the Burn-dogs were down 5-nil. So really, there was no reason for him to watch the scrubs to play out the game, right? Completely understandable. Dennis Rodman used to take his shoes off when he knew he wasn't going back into a game, and we thought that was ballsy.

Feel free to visit The Kevin McDonald Appreciation Society to share your love.

Also, it was good to see the Clarets pull off a 4-1 decision over Hull City in their quest to avoid demotion. Now they're four points under the relegation line with four games to go.

Remaining schedule:
Sat, Apr 17 at Sunderland 10:00 am EDT
Sun, Apr 25 Liverpool 10:00 am EDT
Sat, May 1 at Birmingham City 10:00 am EDT
Sun, May 9 Tottenham 10:00 am EDT

Burnley will drive anyone to drink. This is a team that had its manager leave for freakin' Bolton midway through the season when things were far less bleak (I think Burnley was at 13th in the table when Owen Croyle bounced).
