Your routes.rb something like this:

resources :players

which produces routes of the form /entries/24225252/foo.

There exists a :path argument that allows you to use something besides the default name entries. For example:

resources :players, :path => 'my-cool-path'

will produce routes of the form /my-cool-path/2012/05/10/foo.

But, if we pass an empty string to :path, we see the behaviour you're looking for:

resources :players, :path => ''

will produce routes of the form /2012/05/10/foo.

Also another option:

  get ':year/:month/:day/:title' => 'some_controller#show', :as => 'players'
  put ':year/:month/:day/:title/edit' => 'some_controller#edit', :as => 'edit_players'
  delete ':year/:month/:day/:title' => 'some_controller#destroy', :as => 'destroy_players'

Your::Application.routes.draw do
  scope ":name" do
    get '', to: 'players#show'
    get :about, to 'players#about'
    get :friends, to 'players#friends
  end
end
