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.

Manning Wins Division with Stomach Flu

Manning Wins Division with Stomach Flu

The internet had the gaul to make fun of Peyton’s block at the end of the first half. Manning, playing with the flu, stepped in and threw an unexpected block (successfully) when his running back changed course. Oh, just the flu, you know, that forced puking Peyton to take four bags of intravenous fluids between Saturday night […]

Lions Clean Up Vikings

Almost caught us napping on America’s “Game of the Week.” Detroit trailed 14-0 to fucking Teddy Bridgewater AT HOME before storming back to finish the game with 16 unanswered points.

That overtime thriller where Brandon Jennings tore them apart. It’s been that long. Detroit beat the Suns in Phoenix 105-103, holding on at the buzzer. Andre Drummond led the way, and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope […]

David Simon on Capitalism

Unless we take stock of the fact […]

Dave Doubles Down

The Tigers GM was at it twice Thursday, trading shortstop Eugenio “Mr. Suave” Suarez along with a Whitecap for Cincinnati Reds pitcher Alfredo Simon. Suarez filled in nicely for our injured shortstop last season who will now be healthy, along with Andrew Romine as a backup. The West Michigan Whitecap was a former first round […]

“Nothing Is Given”

While visiting a children’s hospital, Dallas Cowboys cornerback Orlando Scandrick took on a nine year-old in Madden. Apparently, he took it completely seriously, going for two and kicking an onside kick with the lead. “He attempted to justify the surprise onside kick by pointing out that Cowboys fullback Tyler Clutts walked in front of the […]
