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.

Lions Finally Win by Double-Digits

That was a nice win by Detroit on the road. We really shut Drew Brees and the New Orleans offense down, limiting them to 13 points. They only could capitalize on some big plays – let’s close out those quarters proper down the stretch. Look, this is huge. We keep rolling one week at a […]

At the Buzzer… It’s Goo–od!

The Lions did it. A frustrating game the referees seemed determined to keep close broke it’s tie as time expired and Matt Prater’s 40-yard field goal aired through the uprights. I honestly couldn’t believe it. A few tears escaped my eyes as my dad, brother and I embraced… my bro had shown up for Thanksgiving […]

Lions Escape with Poor Play

Much like Michigan, maybe it’s worth taking an early look in the mirror instead of rolling through the season with mistakes uncorrected. In my humble opinion, Matthew Stafford is doing a better job calling plays for the Detroit Lions than the coaches are. We managed to win at home against a mildly talented Jacksonville Jaguars […]

Lions Rescue Season at the Buzzer

The Lions led 14-0, 21-7, and 21-10 at halftime – but failed to score for almost the entire second half en route to a 23-21 Eagles lead. Luckily, they fumbled in the waning minutes, allowing Matthew Stafford & company to march down and allow Matt Prater to ice the game with a field goal. The […]

THAT’S HOW THAT’S DONE

LIONS TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS. Yeah, we led 21-3 – yeah, our lack of a secondary allowed it to eventually be tied at 28 – but General Stafford would not be denied nor stopped, upending the opposition with a last second drive that gave our bum kicker a redemption song. Stafford switched it up brilliantly […]

Dear Peyton,

Before my brother and I went to Detroit to see our G last year (knowing it very well may be our last chance… good call), I wrote Peyton Manning this letter:       https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIQag9eTse4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKper9lTrgY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Adnt3M1U5tY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgGj3GuNZYc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1vxRWColjY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDOP5-LqeaI  

Fellow Lions Bid Farewell

When I signed with the Detroit Lions I met a young man by the name of Calvin Johnson Jr…a humble superstar who spoke with his actions not his words. After watching him during our first practice together I knew I was going to be witness to something very special. In the 4 years I was […]

Statement from Calvin Johnson

“And finally, to the fans of Detroit and Michigan. I so appreciated your passionate support over the years and truly enjoyed playing for you. I loved playing in Detroit and will forever be a Lion. My biggest regret is that I wasn’t able to help give our fans a championship. But I do believe the […]

Adios, GOAT

So, Indianapolis… how’s my ass taste? That’s right, I’m riding off… on top. Beat pretty boy Tom Brady twice (ney – 3 times) to reach 3 of my 4 Super Bowls… crowning myself in the finale. Look, Manning won’t ever talk that much shit, so I will for him… My childhood idol not for some […]

Just Enjoy the Parade

I was getting really sick of people wasting our time after Peyton finally just won his Super Bowl… people will do anything to try and bring a G down – they pop out of the woodwork when you win, no where to be seen before! This idiotic Denver Post writer went way to far, so […]

Dear Megatron,

I think we still have some unfinished business. Take your time to let your body heal and make a clear-headed conscious choice. I respect how brutal a game it is, but you and Matthew Stafford are the dream team. I’d be hard pressed not to at least give it one more shot. Martha Ford is […]
