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.

Doug Stanhope – I Am Gay

Do not fight the team – embrace them with warm leathery bearhugs. That’s right, make them feel at home as Americas first gay baseball team, like it or not. I was once – as a child – a big Oakland Raiders fan. Back in the 1970’s. Ken Stabler, Fred Bilitnikoff, Dave Casper, John Matusak, Art […]

Tigers Beat Indians 7-2

Tigers Beat Indians 7-2

Michael Bourn is still wondering where that fly ball went (http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/3132989/indiansderp.gif). Miguel Cabrera left the game after the second inning with more abdominal soreness. Please, don’t force it, Big Cat. We got this; take your time. All that matters is the playoffs, not ever stats. Jose Iglesias led off the bottom of the third with a double […]

Rain Pours on Tigers, Verlander

Rain Pours on Tigers, Verlander

What the fuck are we supposed to do? Early on, I asked oldschool, “I wonder why there are all these empty seats?” After all, we sell out. I realized it was raining. Verlander gave up two runs in the 1st, but the Detroit Tigers rallied in the bottom of the inning. Austin Jackson lead off with […]

A’s 8, Tigers 6

A’s 8, Tigers 6

The pitching was a little shaky in the home opener of a four game series with the Oakland A’s. Down 2-0 in the 2nd inning, the Tigers tied it after a two-run homer from Omar Infante cleared the left field wall. Starter Anibal Sanchez gave up four runs in five innings, but left with the […]

The Continuing Rebirth of Mike Tyson

“He behaved like a man, what can I say,” Atlas recollected to fellow analyst Joe Tessitore. “He came over, extended his hand and asked me if I’d shake it and said, ‘You’re not still mad at me, are you? I wish you wouldn’t be.’ … I give him credit for showing a gentleman’s side.” via […]

Max Scherzer Single-Handedly Takes Down Mets

Max Scherzer Single-Handedly Takes Down Mets

Bases loaded, one out. Tigers lead 2-0. Bottom of the 6th. Max “007” Scherzer has already surpassed the 100 pitch mark. STRIKE THREE! Two outs. INFIELD POP-UP: END OF INNING That was the highlight of Scherzer’s incredible night. Actually, this was the highlight: “Runners on first and second, one out; Max Scherzer steps up to […]

Tigers Take First Game from Mets

Tigers Take First Game from Mets

Dice K got lit up like Christmas tree! Torii Hunter took him deep in the game’s second at-bat for a 1-0 lead. Victor Martinez suited up the catcher’s gear for his first start at that position in over two years. He’s a natural, he wants to be out there for us, and he’s worked very […]

Lions 40, Patriots 9

Lions 40, Patriots 9

Preseason Week 3 The Lions forced a fumble on New England’s opening drive, then tossed Reggie Bush a screen pass on third and ten for 60+ yards, setting the tone for the evening. We forced four first half NE turnover’s including an interception for Chris Houston of Tom Brady for a 16-3 halftime lead. David […]
