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. We’d love for you to give us your perspective, network, and participate regularly. But if you’d just like to join in on the mob-mentality and get all sanctimonious on a particular sports figure — head on over to ESPN.com. (Mickey Mouse welcomes you.) Or you can keep it real with us.

Lions Snarf Another D-Lineman, This Time from Bears

Lions Snarf Another D-Lineman, This Time from Bears

Kevin Seifert Idonije the ideal swing DL for Detroit “Idonije will give the Lions an experienced hand at both positions, one they scouted first-hand as division opponents during his nine-year tenure with the Chicago Bears. It’s also worth noting that Idonije fits the obvious profile the Lions have set forth in rebuilding their line. He […]

Fuck That Shit, Tampa

Miguel Cabrera declined to comment about the confrontation, but Tigers manager Jim Leyland talked about it in a strong way. “I don’t care about throwing inside, but I don’t like it up there, and we will not tolerate that,” Leyland said. “I’m not accusing anybody of anything but we won’t tolerate that. If you’re going […]

Tigers Take Game One

Tigers Take Game One

Miguel Cabrera went deep in the first inning to give Max Scherzer and his Detroit Tigers a 2-0 lead. Cabrera hit another solo shot to up the ante 3-0. He finished 4-4 with another single and a double. Prince Fielder scored a 4th run, hitting a double and taking home on a wild pitch to make […]

Pistons… How Could You?

I was actually crying with joy waiting for the Pistons pick… everything had fallen into place. A surprise #1 overall, Noels and McLemore remaining to keep the #6 and #7 picks from stealing our boy… Trey Burke, the National Player of the Year, the best player in the draft, he who hails from the VICTORS […]

Alvin Gentry Joins Clippers Coaching Staff

Former Phoenix Suns coach Alvin Gentry will join Doc Rivers’ new staff with the Los Angeles Clippers as an associate head coach, according to a source. Gentry was sought by Rivers because of his institutional knowledge of the franchise, for which he was a head coach from 2001 to 2003, and his reputation as an […]

Closer Games

Closer Games

It’s all about the ninth inning in Detroit, because the Tigers sure have those other innings covered. They lead the league in batting average, on-base percentage, starting pitching ERA and run differential. So they have just about all of their win-the-World-Series pieces in place — except for one. Now the mission is finding the right […]

Wimbledon Underway!

That was fast (French Open nodding). #5 seed and French Open Champion Rafael Nadal already lost in the first round today in straight sets. Coincidentally, the women’s #5 seed was also beaten in straight sets. #2 Andy Murray and #3 Roger Federer, last year’s final two with Roger winning in that dramatic home court match […]

Double Warrior

Double Warrior

Earl Webb. The don of the double. Snarfington Webb hit 67 doubles in 1931, the single season record for Major League Baseball. Since 1936, no snarf has recorded over 60 in a year. Manny Machado, a young snarf with the Baltimore Orioles, has hit 34 this year in 76 games played. That projects to 72 […]
