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.

Do You Believe in Magic?

How about those Detroit Pistons… fluctuating back and forth with each quarter… only to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat on an Andre Drummond tip-in to claim a one-point win with two seconds left! The first quarter and the third were extremely porous defensively… and offensively! But the 2nd and 4th were both explosive […]

Pistons Steal Dallas’ Mojo

I felt like we went into their arena, hijacked momentum, and rode it to a nice road victory in a raucous sell-out. Reggie Jackson put an exclamation point on the win with a deep 3, and it took many big shots by Detroit in a 102-96 victory to secure the contest. Marcus Morris hit a […]

Brilliant Job Stan Van

Our Pistons coach made sure to stop by the polls today before the teams road trip and vote, and it’s clear he takes it seriously. “I follow politics pretty closely,” Van Gundy said. “Other than the nights that we have played, I’ve caught the debates on both sides. I follow the news daily. Entertained? I […]

Pistons Notch Win Against Trail Blazers

Pretty much all Portland had was Damian Lillard… the Pistons stormed out to an early double-digit lead and rode it all the way through. It was 31-16 after one, with Andre Drummond starting us off. Reggie Jackson had a great game, scoring a lot and getting everyone involved. We had some stalls, but whenever we […]

Comeback Complete

Tough night for snarf and the city of Detroit. My Pistons and Red Wings were both on national TV. The Pistons were looking fine in the first half, almost able to become the only team to win in San Antonio. Instead, we collapsed with too many turnovers and frantic play in the 3rd quarter, ultimately […]

Pistons Keep It Rolling

I backgrounded this game, mostly watching the first half with the Red Wings on the big screen. What can I say, they knew I wasn’t watching and made it rain! Ha but for real they seemed consistently in the lead and never let Milwaukee score very much. That defense and continuity will pay dividends as […]

THAT’S How It’s Done

What the fuck is good, Cleveland?! LeBron?! Bunch of non-D-playing prima donnas… Finally, for the first time in several weeks, the Detroit Pistons showed the world, we are, in fact, extremely capable of defending even the game’s best. The Cavaliers came out trying quite hard, but we held in there and actually pulled away by […]

Not There Yet

“I’m not gonna lie, the Pistons are great!” That wasn’t said on social media after beating Cleveland early in the year. Nope, not after 4 OT in Chicago. Nope, not by beating the Warriors on Ben Wallace night. NOPE – it was during the goddamn trade deadline to celebrate a pair of deals – in […]

Highlights from All-Star Weekend

Highlights from All-Star Weekend

Still so great! “Why don’t I get the trophy?” While those cunt cheerleaders just laugh at the poor little guy… (smh) Here’s LaVine (all the other guy did was hump his mascot like a Japanese body pillow all night long): That woke everybody in the building and world up. And Kenny Smith never stops talking shit […]

All-Star Halfway Weekend

All-Star Halfway Weekend

The good: Rookie and sophomores from America against youngins from the rest of the world. It was a close, high-scoring game finished by USA and led by Zach LaVine, the MVP with 30 points and an array of dunks. WE WANT DUNKS! And we got them Saturday night. That is the pinnacle of the weekend, for […]

Pistons Forgetting to Play 4

Pistons Forgetting to Play 4

I personally believe Stan “The Man” Van Gundy must find a way to better get across to his Pistons: PLAY FOR FOUR QUARTERS! Especially defense. Again, like in Toronto, we stormed back too late against the Celtics. If I were the coach, I’d notice a theme with the young guys and call more timeouts when […]

Clippers Missing Griffin

Clippers Missing Griffin

Truly not the time to undue all that off-time from the quadriceps injury… The Clippers had achieved many wins without their superstar, but now they’re running out of gas. Even though he knows he’s in the wrong, the steadfastly mature #32 showed he still has some room to grow.
