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

The Lions answered every one of $narf’s checklists by the end of the game: dominant defense, running game, and finishing drives. Our defense was the MVP, dropping Eddy Lacy for a loss on Green Bay’s opening drive and forcing him to fumble. The Lions then took the ball to the house, setting the tone in their return home […]

Detroit Steals Afternooner

Freshly awake from our game last night, this one started off at noon in Kansas City. On national television, everyone seemed to be asleep for the first three innings. A bit of a pitchers duel created that situation, especially with Max Scherzer on the hill. Torii Hunter struck first off of the Royals pitcher (he […]

Tigers Race to 10 Runs

In game one of the three game series in Kansas City, Justin Verlander notched the win in a 10-1 win over the Royals. The Tigers scored three runs in the first inning. Ian Kinsler led off with a base hit and advanced to second base on Torii Hunter’s ensuing fly ball. Miguel Cabrera then doubled […]

Failure to Finish Dooms Detroit

(Belated Week Two Recap) There’s no way the Lions should have played like they did in Carolina. We squandered several strong drives on missed field goals, a fumble, and too much passing. Scoreless for 30 minutes, Detroit trailed 6-0 at halftime. That was bullshit. Two 49-yarders sailed wide from our rookie kicker, who must wake […]

Time to Get Serious

The Tigers finished the series in Minnesota with an 8-4 loss Wednesday. Neither the pitching or the small ball were particularly sharp, two areas I’d like to address before we play the Royals tonight. We all know how hard we’ve worked and how far we’ve come to even be in this position on Friday night. […]

What Is Wrong with Us?

What Is Wrong with Us?

Let’s just beat the shit out of our women and kids… that’ll get them in line!! That’ll TEACH THEM!!! “Reversing course on Wednesday, Bush said he does not utilize corporal punishment, which roughly 70 percent of Americans said they support in 2010 and 2012, down from about 84 percent in 1986.” via Reggie Bush’s comments […]

Tigers Triumph Again

Tigers Triumph Again

I do not know anything – that’s all I know. The game broke me, for Detroit was up 6-0 until Minnesota chipped away, inching closer. Leading 2-0 in the first inning behind Miguel Cabrera & V’s two-out doubles, the Tigers sailed through the early innings with Max Scherzer on the mound. 007 stayed perfect for […]

Tigers Sweep Indians

Phil Coke with the win! J.D. Martinez started us off with a solo homer to dead center, giving Justin Verlander a 1-0 lead. Trailing 3-2, Ian Kinsler launched one with Rajai Davis on base to put us back on top. Joba Chamberlain kept it pitching in the 8th. Davis made a nice sliding catch in center […]

Michigan Tops Miami (OH)

It was only 10-10 in the second quarter, but Michigan finished with 24 unanswered points in the Big House for the victory. The Wolverines ran for 276 yards on 45 carries while allowing just 31 rushing yards to the Redhawks. Derrick Green lead the way for the Blue with 137 yards on 22 tries, including two […]
