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.

Griffins Storm Back

Down two games to zero in a best of five, Grand Rapids rallied for three straight wins to move on. We got Marchenko back on defense from the Red Wings, plus Teemu Pulkkinen, the leading goal scorer in the AHL playoffs (six). He led the league in goals during the regular season despite splitting time in […]

Not Bad

In the history of the NBA, no other player had scored a Game Seven series-winning field goal (defined as a field goal that put his team ahead to stay) with as little as one second remaining on the clock. Previously, the latest series-winning field goal in a Game Seven was scored by Sam Jones on […]

Tigers Don’t Give a Fuck

What’s that, Kansas City? You are trying way too hard in April?? You lost the World Series – for real, you did. Look at how hard the Royals tried in games one and two only to earn a series split. It’s a microcosm of their entire atmosphere, entitled douchiness without resolve. Fuck you snarfs. Anyways, […]

Tigers 2-1

Detroit took one back from Kansas City behind starting pitcher David Price. Our lefty went the distance, surrendering only a solo shot in the bottom of the ninth before finishing off the Royals 2-1. Anthony Gose was a playmaker. He might have gotten screwed on one play, but he was a catalyst in the win.

Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao Intro

I’m a huge fan, I’ll admit, I can’t help it… But I have an obligation here. We have been let down, Grand Rapids. Mayweather used to say “via way of Grand Rapids, Michigan” after resides in Las Vegas, Nevada. I can barely express the thrill of hearing my city’s name the last few fights. I […]

Mayweather Reigns Supreme

Everyone has to give the undefeated “Money Man” his due. And where’s he from? Oh yeah, look to your left. The only knock anyone ever had was that Floyd Mayweather Jr. hadn’t really fought anyone – now, he has at least put to rest that doubt. Manny “Spazzman” Pacquiao landed the least number of punches […]

Clippers Do the Impossible

San Antonio was determined early. You could see how hard they were trying, taking a 19-11 lead. Nonetheless, all we had to do was sustain momentum until they tired out. We essentially tied it by the end of the first, down 30-28. This is were we began a story. It will become folklore over the […]
