Welcome!

TheSportingSnarf  is a website dedicated to the enjoyable, humorous, and nuanced aspects of the sporting and (to a lesser extent) pop-culture world.  We attempt to touch upon (in varying degrees of print/video length) engaging topics which are not discussed nearly enough.

Revenge achieved. Last night’s game was, well (beside being a new low of lows or high of highs), more about particular players trying to solitify certain aspects of their game to themselves, the team, and the opposition. It was a most memorable game-within-the-game senario for many of the participants (and fans, disgruntled and elated alike) involved.  Sometimes it’s […]
