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.

Hummingbird – Miss E 

All of this music is from Orange Is the New Black: Season 3. Even though Jenji Kohan has a flair for the dramatic, it was another heartfelt season with the girls in jail. Kohan humanizes each and every character, from the time the show begins with a theme song telling us to “Look at all their […]

Our hitters are so established other pitchers are throwing us garbage out of desperation. We have to accept the trash […]

Heartbreak in Cleveland

We all got our tiny little collective-basketball hearts broken tonight in Cleveland. It wasn’t our fault, but it stings nonetheless. An early Cavalier jump-start showed some promise until the first quarter’s wheels fell off. A lot of nervous energy translated to too many turnovers and scattered defense, even letting 3-point shooters get open. It was 28-15 […]

Fourth Quarter Haunting Cavaliers

It’s been the same old song during the final minutes of each fourth quarter for the Cavaliers. They’re sitting back and watching themselves collapse instead of continuing to attack the rim. Golden State (at home) jumped out to an early 8-2 lead, forcing a David Blatt timeout. Blatt has to maintain that type of discipline […]
