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.

Tigers Blast Off on Twins

Miguel Cabrera hit two, J.D. Martinez one, and “The Can” also hit an inside the park home run in a 10-7 win in Minnesota. It was a back-and-forth game. We exchanged runs for two and a half straight innings as follows: 1-0, 1-3, 3-3, 3-7, 7-7.  Shane Greene gave up seven runs for another tough […]

Nothing You Can Do About That

I can’t believe I watched the referees ruin another playoff game. As Darren Oliver stated after one period of play, “the reffing was atrocious.” Despite outplaying Tampa Bay with many more shots on goal, it stayed 0-0 for two periods. Try sustaining momentum with one dirty team allowed to poke and prod and then the […]

WTF NHL?

AFTER ALL THE HORSE SHIT the Red Wings have took against their goalie, among all the dirtiness Tampa Bay produced, WE GET THE SUSPENSION? That was a perfectly clean hit by Niklas Kronwall. This is a travesty, especially with the way they’ve been acting, undercutting Petr Mrazek’s legs. It was a good hit,” Babcock said. […]

Paging: Small Ball

Paging: Small Ball

Cue the super hero music… HERE COMES SMAAAALL BAAAALL! What’s that Tigers? Nobody out, two on? “It’s Small Ball to bunt them over!” A man on third, less than two outs? “Small Ball hits a deep fly ball for the sacrifice!” Need to manufacture a late run? “Nice stolen base, small ball!” What’s that, all […]

Clippers Fucked Hard

Clippers Fucked Hard

It was actually a really close game. Another great effort in a loss by my Clippers. We led by five after one quarter, starting the contest on a strong run at home. Our owner was like a little kid enjoying the array of dunks. It was LA by one at halftime. All the Spurs could […]

When Will It End?

You might not like the way Baltimore is handling it’s situation, but this is really not about just them. How long ago was Trayvon Martin? And how long in general do black people have to be our subordinates? This a country that desperately needed a civil rights movement within the last century to end all […]

Tigers Pick Us Up

Way to keep our hope alive, Detroit. A 5-1 lead found it’s way into a 5-4 victory in Minnesota. “The Dirt Devil” was a double shy of the first Tigers’ cycle in several years. David Price picked up another important win against our AL Central foes.

Tale of Two Halves

It’s too bad Detroit dug themselves an early hole, otherwise we’d be celebrating in the Motor City. For now, we’ll wait ’til game seven. We trailed 3-0 after 30 minutes of play, then essentially worked a 2-0 score in our favor the rest of the way. Tampa changed nothing, meaning they stayed dirty once again. […]

Clippers Answer the Bell

A lesser team would have used the opportunity on the road to mail it in. But, like the Red Wings yesterday, this was simply not the case. LA played hard for four quarters and pulled away in the fourth. Chris Paul and Blake Griffin led the way, with Doc Rivers’ son Austin and Jamal Crawford […]

Never Fucking Forget, Clippers

I want every Clipper fan to remember what we’ve been through. I want every member of the Clippers to imagine me as an 8th grader in Rockford with their pictures on my agenda being made fun of because, “I thought I was black.” I want Doc Rivers to remember what a horrible leader Vinny del […]

Tigers Utilize Da Walk

Well done, G’s. It looks like Miguel Cabrera set a new personal-best with four walks against Cleveland. We won 4-1, getting back to our early season ways of winning these low scoring games. We simply don’t need to overpower opposing hitters anymore with all this defense behind us. While the Indians and their racism struck […]
