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.

Pistons Take Down Milwaukee

In honor of George’s birthday the night of the Sixers game, we will never be discussing the events that took place, minus the Pistons bringing Blaha a much-deserved Birthday Cake. ANYWAYS – The Pistons went on a second half run to win a game. Josh Smith single-handedly carried us down the stretch, driving for a […]

What a beautiful opening day in Detroit. Justin Verlander started the game and lasted six innings, surrendering two earned runs.

Since the Rockets did not have Dwight Howard, either, it was kind of a fair fight. Houston led by ten after the first quarter, but Chris Paul closed the […]

Michigan Hangs On

We really played well. Things just got a little sketchy at the end… The Wolverines led 45-34 at halftime. We essentially kept a double-digit lead all the way through to 70-60 with 3:41 to play. Then, the Volunteers started to make buckets. After a Jordan Morgan dunk, Michigan only scored one point in the final […]

Tiger for Life

#LockedUp Miguel Cabrera is swag. Miguel Cabrera is a Tiger for life with a contract that will pay him nearly 300 million over the next ten seasons. So smart, Dave D and Mike L. Genius, Detroit, for locking up baseball’s Michael Jordan. The Big Cat is home.

Northwestern Wildcats Football Takes Giant Step for College Athletes

“The NCAA invented the term student-athlete to prevent the exact ruling that was made today. For 60 years, people have bought into the notion that they are students only. The reality is players are employees, and today’s ruling confirms that. The players are one giant step closer to justice.” via Northwestern Wildcats football players win […]
