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.

Cavaliers Hang On

Cleveland stormed to the early lead and never looked back, albeit with a bumpy 4th quarter. The Cavs used tough defense out of the gate, forcing a Steve Kerr timeout. Thanks to good close-out D at the end of the first, Cleveland maintained a small edge. LeBron James stated in his postgame his team’s intention […]

Follow-Up to Referees in Golden State

It turns out we were not exaggerating. The NBA released an official report from last night’s game, concluding BOTH missed calls were incorrect of the referees.

Cleveland Tastes the Finals

The Cavaliers just handed Golden State their 4th home loss of the year (47-4). And the NBA Finals is officially underway. Cleveland used Eastern Conference-Style defense to keep the Warriors under 100 points, including overtime. An early 20-12 deficit forced a David Blatt timeout. LeBron & Co. responded with an 8-0 run that tied the […]

The Drought Is Over

Tigers win. David Price pitched a complete game to earn Detroit a 7-1 win in Chicago. The White Sox scored first, then recorded no hits after the fourth inning. Brad Ausmus put the batting order back together, letting Ian Kinsler slide into the two-hole where he belongs, not over-complicating with a plethora of substitutions, and […]

First Triple Crown Winner Since Miguel Cabrera

WOW – pretty nice pull away at the end, Secretariat-style. And Penny Chenery is the 93-year old woman in attendance Pharoah’s owner stopped to shake hands with. Not bad. “I’m 61 years old, and I’ll never see, in my lifetime, I will never see another Triple Crown winner, because [of] the way they do this,” said California […]

YOU GOTTA DUNK THAT SHIT

James was 7-for-22 outside the paint. That’s his most attempts outside the paint this postseason. In fact, that’s his most attempts outside the paint in any game in his postseason career. Source: It’s a painful Game 1 loss for Cleveland Cavaliers FUCK. Game we had – and must win in the future by taking it […]

Tigers Fight Valiently

OK, it’s been like a week – and it’s time to let Brad Ausmus have it, again. First of all: WTF is this over-corrected lineup? Just because we’re struggling doesn’t mean you start doing crazy changes. Let Ian Kinsler keep his #2 spot. STOP STARTING AAA players. What the hell are Tyler Collins and the […]

Salute, Grand Rapids Griffins

You made it the farthest of all our teams – congratulations on making the Conference Finals, Gs. The Griffins nearly won game five, a pivotal 2-2 tiebreaker in Grand Rapids. We threw everything but the kitchen sink back at Utica in a 3-2 loss where we allowed all 3 goals in the first period. We […]
