Thanks for the inspiration, Jimmy & South Park.

Bill Walton: Keeping the Faith
Just when we needed him most, Billy W swoops in for the reply on Twitter! @ElSportingSnarf I have tomorrow's morning games — Bill Walton (@BillWalton) November 25, 2015 That final game he would announce, UNLV-Indiana, was a sensational game filled with more anecdotes and Walton wisdoms. Here they are: “This is about to be the […]
Tough 2nd Half Derails Blue
This was a game we honestly could have won. Instead, we try and gather ourselves knowing a nine-win season is nothing to frown on, especially in a coach’s first season. Let Jim Harbaugh acquire his own recruits for 2-3 years and then see what happens. We still had a chance today. We moved the ball past […]
Lions Feast for Thanksgiving
We might be eatin’ turkey, but we cooked those birds on the field, too – straight EAGLES FOR THANKSGIVING. How did you like those Lions? We all knew we were capable, but thanks to Martha Ford lighting our fire, we’re finally showing it. I am loving these Lions, right? Megatron! Three amazing touchdown catches. And […]
Happy Thanksgiving, Snarfs
On this day, where we give thanks, I am grateful for: The ability to write, especially about sports, which I love. To cover Detroit, the city my father is from, and the teams I love: Michigan, Tigers, Clippers, Red Wings, Pistons, Lions, Whitecaps, Griffins, Peyton & Denver, and every sporting event with swag that allows […]
More Greatness from Billy W.
How blessed are we? Bill Walton is announcing this whole fucking Maui tournament! (Or so it seems!) Here are some gems I took down during his broadcasting of Chaminade-UNLV: At 6-1, minutes into action: “Let’s just call the game and give it to Chaminade right now.” Other announcer: Really? “Throw it down one time big […]
Bob Dylan: That Lucky Old Sun
Thanks, Bill.
Early Season Struggles
The Clippers and Pistons better pull their head outta they ass RIGHT NOW.
The G of Bill Walton
Here’s a collection of what I was able to catch during the 2nd half of Bill Walton announcing the St. John’s-Vanderbilt game this afternoon: Bill is not a fan of the double-double: “The double-double is the most overrated in the history of stats.“ While talking about some swimming team staying near his hotel: “17 of […]
Silver Bowl
These are my dad’s two favorite teams: the Oakland Raiders and the Detroit Lions. The winner – the team best wearing the legendary silver. For the first half, the Honolulu Blue clearly complemented it best. There was nothing going for Oakland offensively. Detroit, on the other hand, marched down on their first drive to kick in […]
Michigan Overcomes Perve State
With all those penalties called against the Wolverines, it sure felt like we dropped the soap next to Sandusky! In all seriousness, it felt like we got fucked in the ass. I’ve never seen so many flags outside of a gay pride rally. The “Nittany” Lions (WTF?) hadn’t allowed a score against them in the […]
Winter Wonderland – Dean Martin
YES!!!!!!!!
Teal Swan Lands in Paris Just in Time
Sir Charles Nails It
It all is starting to make more sense to me. We’re in the PC-era of sports: like in south park, the politically correct machine has become the offensive, no-defense allowed mantra. We can’t hit in football, check you in basketball, or seem to appreciate small ball in baseball, allowing every sport to be sensationalized. And […]
Eckhart Tolle on the Refugee Crisis in Europe
The Biggest G in Town: John Mulaney
John Mulaney is a man who cannot control his swag. That means, his swagger is out of control. (People don’t understand this is the highest of compliments!) After kind of being shit on with the canceling of his show, Mulaney, our boy storms back to the stage to deliver an improved upon performance, which is saying […]
Welcome to the Central, Cleveland
You think you can come into the Palace, play that pussy one-on-one, and escape? Wrong! The Pistons righted their ship after dropping four in a row (all in California) by beating Cleveland 104-99. Detroit started strong and rode the effort to 55 first half points and a one possession game. Stan Van and Reggie Jackson looked […]
Shame on Michigan & Other States Denying Entrance
“The Council on American-Islamic Relations said Monday, “Defeating ISIS involves projecting American ideals to the world. Governors who reject those fleeing war and persecution abandon our ideals and instead project our fears to the world.” Source: Syrian refugees not welcome in 27 U.S. states – CNN.com This is classic fear > love; at the end […]
