Sports R Dumb

This episode starts off HOT, as Joey's rec league featured a fight between teammates — thankfully, not on Joey's team, which is full of kind people. We're exploring the absurdity of fighting in a rec league, but that's not the main focus here.

We're also breaking down the silliness of calculating tiebreakers and potential finishes in different sports leagues when all will be sorted out in a day or two. Patience i...

Sean and Joey ran the Austin American Statesman Capitol 10K event on Sunday. It was quite the time! They share their experiences running the race, notable memories, and what it’s like to see a bright light when your body has given up. It’s less gloomy than that description sounds, we promise.

Plus, a small lil’ bit on the women’s and men’s NCAA Tournaments. We miss college basketball already.

Want to send some words of encouragement?...

The women's NCAA Tournament has had plenty of impressive action, but it's being overshadowed by a lot of dumb things — many of which are the NCAA's own doing. Let's dive in!

Plus, a glimpse at the horrific April Fools Day prank we talked about in the intro, the legendary 90s sitcom Step By Step, and personal tales of removing jewelry during basketball games.

It’s a 100th episode extravaganza! This episode was recorded during Selection Sunday as the NCAA Tournament field was revealed. In addition to a live reaction to the field, we’re counting down our top 10 favorite and least favorite moments from March Madness past and present. Plus, how many college basketball players can Sean name?

Check out a few great moments we mention, including Ron Hunter falling off a stool, Texas A&M’s im...

Sean and Joey both play in recreational sports leagues, and they're not entirely sure why. From expensive price tags to poor court and field conditions to people who take things way too seriously, it seems like a recipe for disaster. Perhaps you feel the same about your rec league.

These rec leagues also take over locations that would otherwise have fun, friendly pickup games, preventing people from enjoying themselves. Stop pri...

We're all about some quality trash talking here, but when it's your whole personality? Oof, it's not a good look. And there are too many people out there hating.

You've got plenty of good stuff going on in your life. Don't spend so much time putting down others. Instead, LIFT THEM UP.

Speaking of lifting others up, why not lift up your phone and give the show a follow on Instagram or drop a five-star review on Spo...

Another NBA All-Star Weekend has come and gone, and once again, there was plenty of dumb mixed in with the good.

We're diving into some of the worst moments, from Micah Parsons caring way too much about the Celebrity Game to Kenny Smith quickly sapping the joy out of a historic three-point contest between Sabrina Ionescu and Stephen Curry.

And, as promised, here's Luka Doncic and Nikola Jokic being very cute together on the c...

What a thrilling Super Bowl between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers. We’re giving an overview of it all. Top moments from the game! The best (and worst) commercials! That halftime show with roller skates!

Plus, the first time Sean cried while watching sports, brutally sobering flag football moments, what constitutes a game-winner in basketball, and Sean’s poor stomach during the Super Bowl party.

Want even more good st...

Joey recently had a pickup basketball experience where one player kept calling fouls. Like…on every play. We don’t have time for that! And why is it so easy to lose track of the score when you’re only counting by 1s and 2s? 

One other PSA: If you’re wearing something sharp while playing a sport, PLEASE reconsider. We all have other things to do afterwards.

Plus, the absurd ticket prices for the Super Bowl, and we start prepping for o...

In the time it took to read the title of this episode, another NBA player just scored at least 60 points. Rather than celebrating these impressive achievements, many fans are waxing poetic about the good ol' days, back when defense MEANT something, you know? And that's pretty dumb. It's still very hard to score many baskets in a game.

Plus, that Peyton Manning and Emmitt Smith Bud Light commercial, coach firings and bats...

If you spend any time on social media, you'll likely come across a "breaking news" post from the sports world. Yet when you read the story, it's about something that could happen. There's no news to be found! That's pretty dumb, isn't it?

Plus, the demise of Sports Illustrated, unfortunate seatmates on airplanes, and the evolution of Super Bowl commercials, including a personal favorite starring Anna Kend...

Hope springs eternal, but as sports fans know, it typically lets you down. And Sean's Dallas Cowboys let him down in a BIG way. How silly that we fall for this trick every single season when only one team can end as the champion.

We also cover Chicago Bulls fans booing former GM Jerry Krause, complete with Stacey King's angry Nationwide ad read and critique of the fans.

Plus, Joey tried his hand at pickup basketball, and desp...

We took a couple of weeks off and it was CHAOS in the sports world. Luckily, we’re covering all the good stuff.

Here’s a taste: Sean’s experience watching Texas against Washington at the Sugar Bowl, the last play of the Cowboys/Lions game, the last play of the Alabama game, the NFL playing games on Christmas to ruin the NBA’s joy, David Tepper throwing drinks at opposing fans, Jameis Winston and the Saints’ victory formation kneel d...

It's that time of year to be making holiday lists, and we've got TWO great lists for you.

First, we're going over our 2023 Naughty List to folks who really haven't made the sports world a better place. Then, it's our New Year's resolutions that we absolutely will stick to in 2024.

Plus, putting out cookies for Santa, sending risque photos on airplanes, and is Sean finally done with fantasy football? And let&#...

LSU's Jayden Daniels won this year's Heisman Trophy. All of the contenders for the award were quarterbacks, and the same seems to be true of the NFL. Do the other positions not matter at all?

Plus, we're diving into Patrick Mahomes being very upset over an official's call, the NBA in-season tournament, and a sports cliche about when certain sports leagues are at their best.

Are you a fan of the show? You'd be supe...

Sean is thrilled because his Texas Longhorns are in the College Football Playoff. Florida State fans are less than thrilled after their team finished an undefeated season and won't be included in the festivities.

Basic math suggests picking from five power conferences to select four teams to represent the nation's best will lead to controversy. Good thing next year will have more teams in the playoff, and surely there won...
