Augmented Reality, Expanding the WYSIWYG of Sports Reporting

By J.David ⋅ March 11, 2010 ⋅ One comment

The all-knowing sports writer takes a seat in the press box well before the first baseball player stretches his multi-million dollar hamstrings. The well-manicured ball diamond is immaculate with every blade of grass neatly in place and the eerily quiet stadium provides a sanctuary for the “student” of the game to hunker down to [...]

By J.David ⋅ March 9, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

The Pump Fake – The Weekly Podcast for The Sports Union with the biggest sports news, humor and whatever else is in the minds of the demented co-founders of The Sports Union.

Take a listen.

Snuggie World Record: Only in Effin’ Ohio

By J.David ⋅ March 8, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

The biggest story from Friday night’s game between the Cavs and Pistons was world record attempt for the largest gathering of people wearing Snuggies – the backward bathrobes for people too dumb to answer the phone while “trapped” in a blanket.  Who does this reflect worse for:  The Detroit Pistons – so terrible they are [...]

Allen Iverson Calls It Quits … Again.

By J.David ⋅ March 2, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

AI is the only guy in America who can be viewed as totally selfish while acting totally selfless.  The Sixers released the 11-time all-star after missing a month of the season to care for his seriously ill 4-year-old daughter.  In a world where “deadbeat” is more often associated with dad than “available,” why is the [...]

By J.David ⋅ March 2, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

The Pump Fake – The Weekly Podcast for The Sports Union with the biggest sports news, humor and whatever else is in the minds of the demented co-founders of The Sports Union.

Winter Olympics Things That Make Me Go Hmmmmm

By J.David ⋅ March 1, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Canada’s pregnant curler won a silver medal proving you need no athletic ability to play that “sport.” Luckily, she didn’t give birth in mid-curl though there were plenty of brooms to sweep up the mess had she “dropped a rock.”  And yes, I watched every stones throw, or do they push?
Kazakhstan won a medal.  So, [...]

Winter Olympics Reality Check

By J.David ⋅ March 1, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

The 17 days of the Vancouver Winter Olympics are officially over though the frostbite will remind me forever why excessive drinking in cold climates should be avoided at all cost.
The Winter Olympics are relevant again … not really; they will be when someone cares during the 3 years 347 days between competitions.
The men’s gold medal [...]

By J.David ⋅ February 23, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

The Pump Fake – The Weekly Podcast for The Sports Union with the biggest sports news, humor and whatever else is in the minds of the demented co-founders of The Sports Union. This week J.David is drunk and Kevin Patra is delirious, seriously. Take a listen as the guys go overtime talking NBA trades; salute the Olympics while singing the forgotten second verse of the Olympic song; and lament the Johnny Damon “trade” and talk about Manny feeling 15 below the waste . . . WTF? Take a listen.

A YouTube Trip Down the Nostalgia Lane of Sports Classics

By J.David ⋅ February 18, 2010 ⋅ One comment

Pause.  Life should come with the “pause” feature, don’t you think?  Just the other day, a friend and I talked about how life seems to be running out of control without an regard to the things we want to accomplish.  Ever morning I get up and yet life never once asks me if I would [...]
