Lazzari’s Sports Roundup – 9/2/10

ITEM: N.Y. Mets pitcher Mike Pelfrey admits to being ill and VOMITING before his start vs. the Pittsburgh Pirates last week. I’m now convinced that someone advised Pelfrey shortly before his “hurling” episode that the Bucs hadn’t experienced a winning season since 1992. Yes, THAT’s sickening, folks……..TRIVIA QUESTION: The 1993 Chicago White Sox–who finished first [...]

Aints No More!

This year’s annual Mardi Gras celebration isn’t set to begin until Tuesday of next week, but New Orleans’ beloved Saints have already touched off an early Bourbon Street bash which might last until then. With a stunning 31-17 upset victory over the Indianapolis Colts (16-3) in Super Bowl XLIV, at Sun Life Stadium in Miami [...]

Saints Win First NFL Title With 31-17 Win in Super Bowl XLIV

Favorite Five

Kansas City Chief’s QB Matt Cassel could put up enough numbers to cover for your regular starter during a bye week. Cassel is at home against a San Diego team that can not get pressure and is consistently in shoot out games. Just like last season Cassel started out cold but has gotten better on [...]

NFL Power Rankings

For proof of that, look no further than just two seasons ago when the 2007 New York Giants were shredded defensively to the tune of allowing 80 points while starting 0-2, before finishing 10-6 and riding a [...]
