It was indeed a very good idea. I created a Calendar controller and a Results controller to hande both events/games and results of these events/games. In each controller, I created the proper action to generate the elements that are included in the home page.
Now I need to do the entire page for events/games and results. I *would like* to use the same controllers I made, but I am totally clueless on how to paginate different models within a controller. Or would it be easier (if possible at all) have a custom SQL query that will fetch both games and events ordered by date, even if games and events dont have the same data at all (except for date).
