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.

DIRTY

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen called for the NFL to suspend Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict for intentionally trying to injure him and quarterback Cam Newton following touchdowns in Sunday’s 37-37 tie. Video shows Burfict twisting and “cranking” the ankles of both players after they scored. “Punishment needs to go beyond a fine,” Olsen […]

Lions Defense Dominates in Minnesota

Lions Defense Dominates in Minnesota

Without Reggie Bush or Calvin Johnson, the Detroit Lions beat the Vikings in Minnesota 17-3. There is much to celebrate, for the defense sacked Teddy Bridgewater eight times (most since ’97), picked him off three times, and didn’t allow a single touchdown. However, the Lions put way too much pressure on themselves down the stretch […]

Michigan Tops Penn State

Looking spectacular in their all-blue night uniforms, Michigan ended it’s three game losing streak with a defensive triumph over Penn State – “Da Pervs.” Our quarterback was banged up, but he still went back into the game after sitting out. Our defense allowed zero fourth quarter points and took the game home on a safety […]

Red Wings Take Opener 2-1

The cheap, no good, dirty rotten Boston Bruins returned to Joe Louis Arena for our season opener tonight. Henrik Zetterberg also celebrated his 34th birthday. The Red Wings featured all their sensational Griffins from last season – Tomas Tatar, Gustav Nyquist, Tomas Jurco, among others. We all know the Bruins can’t skate or play real hockey, […]

MLB Playoffs Are Fucked

We play 162 games and have the shortest first round in sports. NBA – seven. NHL – seven. Can you imagine two division winners playing each other in the NFL opening round? It totally diminishes the achievement that took six months to earn. The Royals suck. The Tigers dismantled them all year long and took […]

Lions Get Their K

Stay off that liquor and it’ll all be good, pro-bowler! This could be the final piece to the puzzle – we have the top-ranked defense but were 4/12 on FG’s. We got the coach and the QB… just keep everyone healthy for the playoffs.

Tiger Tears

The Tigers fan stopped by RUB barbeque after the Tigers. He saw me sitting at the bar watching football and asked to take a photo. I agreed. “Wait,” his buddy said. “We can’t take that photo. Come on man.” The guy was fighting back tears. That is how upset he was over the Tigers loss. Later […]
