Lazzari’s Sports Roundup – 06/25/10

ITEM: Former NFL defensive player Keith McCants is arrested on a charge of use and possession of drug paraphernalia in Mobile, Alabama; it’s at least the FOURTH arrest in less than a year for Mr. McCants.

Extra Special! Late Goal Advances USA in World Cup

Better late then never. That phrase couldn’t have applied more to the United States men’s soccer team on Wednesday afternoon in Pretoria, South Africa, where a single goal meant moving on in the 2010 World Cup, and a lack of one meant going home. Through 90 minutes of regulation time, the Americans had failed to [...]

Could it be that Meyer had already [...]

A New American Revolution

When Clint Dempsey scored a gift goal at the 40th minute of the United States opening match-up to get level with England, the fortunes of the Americans may have changed. The contest finished in a 1-1 draw and both clubs received a point, but it meant a lot more to the US than it did [...]

Cotto Wins A Very Bizarre TKO Over Foreman

Bronx – The bizarre situations have occurred in a boxing ring over the years at championship fights.  There was Mike Tyson biting the ear of Evander Holyfield, the guy who parachuted in the ring disrupting the second Holyfield-Riddick Bowe heavyweight fight. And a riot in the ring at Madison Square Garden that ensued after Bowe [...]

Lazzari’s Sports Roundup – 06/05/10

ITEM: Kansas defensive tackle Jamal Greene is dismissed from the team after he and former teammate Vernon Brooks are arrested in connection with an attempted aggravated robbery (Brooks had ALREADY been dismissed from the team before spring practices for violating various team rules).
