The Sports Union’s NFL 2010 Preview
The 2009-2010 NFL season ended with Drew Brees lifting his son to his shoulder as ticker-tape came streaming down to the field at Sun Life Stadium. The 2010-2011 season — i.e. prelude to a lockout — needs to be the best ever because it could be the last time we see professional football for awhile. [...]
NFL 2010 Preview: NFC West
The NFC West is like going to the Miss Universe Competition and starring at the personal assistants all night – there might be some attractive young PAs but at then end of the day, any “Miss” with a country following it (i.e. – Miss Venezuela) is probably a better use of your optical intercourse. So, [...]
NFL 2010 Preview: AFC West
After taking a summer holiday, and by holiday I mean finishing real-world job responsibilities, we are back in time to preview the upcoming NFL season.

Boston Celtics 2010 Free Agency Signees
The NBA free agency sweepstakes is about to come to a screeching halt leaving some teams happy and some fans ready to jump off tall buildings (thank God there are no tall buildings in Ohio).

Not because I cared about him restoring basketball in New York. I wanted him to leave Cleveland simply because I [...]
Dutch Delight Fans, Advance To World Cup Championship – NEON TOMMY
The Netherlands has long been regarded as the best international team not to win a World Cup. Now it has a chance to put that reputation to rest for good. The Oranje scored three goals Tuesday to edge Uruguay 3-2 and secure a place in the championship game against either Spain or Germany on Sunday. [...]
Ranking The Top 5 World Cup MVP Candidates – Neon Tommy
At the end of every World Cup, FIFA officials recognize the best player in the tournament with an award. It’s essentially the most valuable player award, but they don’t call it that. They call it the Golden Ball award — not be confused with the Golden Boot award, which goes to the player who scores [...]

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.

Landon Donovan Scores Heroic Late Goal, Catapults U.S. Into Knockout Round

Blackhawks Score Overtime Goal to Take Stanley Cup
There was no immediate blaring horn, no bright flashing red light, no immediate mob of celebration. The Chicago Blackhawks waited 49 years to celebrate with the Stanley Cup, they could wait a few extra seconds to confirm what Patrick Kane already knew: his shot from the left wing beat Michael Leighton 4:06 into overtime and [...]
