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.

Our Condolences to Mike Babcock

Our Red Wing coach lost his father. We pray for his whole family on behalf of Detroit. He said his own family prayed that he’d join Mike’s mom, for he’d been battling some rough heart and lung issues since last summer. Babcock said his dad was a big Red Wings fan and was surely watching […]

Pistons Finally Miss Moose

Andre Drummond and Reggie Jackson killed it, but there just wasn’t enough other offensive fire power. While those two went over 30 points apiece, nobody else really reached double-digits. There’s one glaring hole: we miss the Moose. His size against Udonis Haslem (18 points) could have made the difference and provided more defense in a […]

Clippers Finish East Coast

In Doc Rivers second game back in Boston, he turned a warm ovation from the crowd into a Clippers blowout. How nice of him. J.J. Redick helped us build an early lead with 19 first half points. DeAndre Jordan had logged a double-double at this point. He delivered an alley-oop from the sky that sent […]

One Shining Spartans

Michigan State came back to dominate the second half and cut down the nets. Tom Izzo outcoached Rick Pitino, holding them to the lowest shooting half by any team in the entire tournament. Pitino looked Calipari-Like on the sideline, clearly flustered once we got back in it. There was no ball movement, just desperation. For […]

Fuck the NFL

Piece of shit league can’t even give Michael Sam a shot… NEVER FORGET THAT WE JUST LET NEW ENGLAND CHEAT ALL THE WAY TO ANOTHER SUPER BOWL WHILE OUR LIONS WERE LITERALLY CHEATED IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE WORLD. THIS IS NOT A WORTHY LEAGUE. (https://thesportingsnarf.com/2015/02/10/current-state-of-nfl/)

Pistons & Clippers Hold It Down

Pistons & Clippers Hold It Down

Sometimes playing a shitty opponent can be a pitfall. Detroit has been trapped several times by weak records, despite playing at a consistent high level against contenders. After struggling in the first quarter, Reggie Jackson finished the Orlando Magic off with a triple-double. He admitted that looking down on our opponent has been the problem, showing some mature […]

ONWARD SPARTAN

ONWARD SPARTAN

Michigan State overcame some early struggles to keep at bay, trailing only 31-27 at halftime. Denzel Valentine found his rhythm in the second half, where he combined with Travis Trice to score 27 points, the same as the Sooners entire team. Sparty played as a more complete unit, staying composed against an athletic, cocky Oklahoma […]

Not Today, Toronto

Not Today, Toronto

Get the fuck outta the Palace! Andre Drummond, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, and Reggie Jackson combined for more than 100 minutes played and zero turnovers, while each scoring over 20 points. Detroit built a big lead behind 37 first quarter points, their most in any frame all season. That lead kept through three but dwindled in the fourth. […]
