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.

Who Dat Girl?

Ronda Rousey has officially won me over. Her dominance and personality are spectacular, forcing me to finally appreciate properly. First, let’s do the background. Going into this fight, MMA and UFC seemed like a clown sport. And it is very reckless, and most of the athletes (especially the men) do look like clowns in their […]

The Crown Fits

Today in New York City we made history. The United States Women’s Soccer team became the first women’s team to ever be honored with a ticker-tape parade. And damn, did they deserve it. Not only did our girls dominate on the field, going ahead 4-0 and finishing with a 5-2 victory in the World Cup, but they […]

Fuck the Police

“All I know is that I don’t trust police no more. No police. None,” said Malissa Williams’ brother Alfredo Williams. “I can’t recover from this. …This verdict isn’t real. This verdict is fake.” Source: Cleveland officer not guilty in unarmed pair’s killing – CNN.com

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 […]
