It's fine to tell someone they look like someone else, but just do it once. Repeatedly yelling "You look like [insert person here]" is just perplexing and no one knows how to respond. Concurrently, sports fans love to dub things the "catch/dunk/play of the year" REALLY early in the season. Are we just assuming everything else will be a dud?

Plus, we wonder how things would be if we had Pokemon trainer encounters in real life. And Joey has started a new rec basketball league and had an interesting first game. He also tries to teach Sean a few new American Sign Language words, but he mixed up a couple. What a dork!

Recently, LeBron James teased a "Decision, Part 2." To people in the marketing field like Joey, this setup felt like the basis of an ad. Even to sports people such as Sean, the immediate response was not, "Oh, let me buy some expensive basketball tickets."

That WAS the response for at least one dumb fan, and now he's suing LeBron for intentionally deceiving the public. Our tax dollars are going to this court case. We hope the judge laughs in his face and makes him pay his own way for wasting everyone's time.

Plus, Sean is riding high on the Texas Longhorns' big victory over the Oklahoma Sooners in the setting of the State Fair of Texas. And as of the time we recorded this, Joey doesn't know that the Cubs eventually got eliminated from the playoffs. What a joyous feeling of ignorant bliss.

Texas and Penn State were the preseason #1 and #2 teams before the college football season began. It's now Week 7 and both of those teams are completely out of the Top 25. It's almost like we're just wildly guessing at the quality of teams, and maybe we should play some games before arbitrarily assigning rankings!

This was also one of the wildest NFL weeks in recent memory, so we're breaking down the chaos of games like Niners/Rams (which included a crazy pre-game moment with Mac Jones) and Titans/Cardinals, a game where a snap bouncing off the quarterback's face was only like the fourth-most bonkers thing to happen.

Plus, Joey takes a trip to Corpus Christi and participates in some fantastic activities, like horseback riding on the beach and Moke driving. And we've got a special guest delivering a rant on yet ANOTHER player dropping the ball before scoring a touchdown.

Virginia upset a top-ten opponent in Florida State. Fans rushed the field before the ball even touched the ground. Thankfully, the two players in the corner of the end zone are alive and didn't get trampled by, you know, hordes of people like they were a plague of locusts o'er the land.

Meanwhile, Colts wide receiver Adonai Mitchell made one of the most impressive catches we've seen so far this year. He then did some nifty spins and jukes and was running free toward the end zone when he decided to showboat. Alas, the ball rolled out of his hand and out of bounds for a touchback. Whoopsie!

Plus, the Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers end in a tie, some unhinged press conference moments, and the rollercoaster experience that is watching Baker Mayfield. What a weekend.

The Chicago Bears hosted the Dallas Cowboys this weekend, which meant Joey and Sean's teams were going up against each other. One of us emerged victorious and happy, and it wasn't the Cowboys fan. But at least Sean has Texas Longhorns football to fall back on. Arch Manning dominated a school in a lower division...that's something, right?

Plus, an absurd number of blocked field goals, we're celebrating World Gratitude Day, and Sean starts a point before forgetting what he's talking about halfway through. We've all been there.

We're back in action! Joey's been overseas, but Sean has been in the thick of both college and NFL football. And it has been full of chaos, as you'd probably expect.

Plus, Joey recaps his trip to Scotland and Copenhagen, Sean cannot remember a playful word, and we learn how to "split the G" with a pint of Guinness.

The NFL season is nearly upon us, so we're making some dumb predictions. Learn what ridiculous record Sean thinks the Cowboys will wind up with, hear what mental mistake Joey predicts will happen multiple times before Week 3 kicks off, and so much more.

Due to some upcoming vacation after this episode, Sports R Dumb is taking a break. We'll be back in action on September 16. In the meantime, perhaps you can give us a follow on Instagram or a kind review on Spotify or Apple Podcasts. You rock!

The Sports R Dumb boys took a weekend trip to Denver and fit in quite a few sports-related activities. We're covering the Rockies starting a win streak thanks to our presence, a preseason Broncos game, visiting Ball Arena (home of the Nuggets and Avalanche), and getting our gaming action on at an arcade, complete with skeeball and pop-a-shot. We're also welcoming back an old segment with a classic sports cliche. What a robust time!
