  • A Very Un-Sportsmanlike Sports R Dumb
    2026/04/28

    This might set a record for the least amount of time talking about sports! We're covering the absolute worst karaoke song to sit through, a barrage of game shows (including the best games to play on The Price is Right), and ponder whether dinosaurs are dragons.

    But for our classic sports fanatics, we do still have a few good moments. We're chatting volleyball and Sean powering through multiple 10K runs. At least he didn't see a bright light this time.

  • The Hullabaloo Around the NFL Draft is Predictively Dumb
    2026/04/21

    The NFL Draft is this week, and that means we're finally free from all the mock drafts! Goodbye big boards, hello new roster additions. Of course, there are still plenty of draft moments that make us smile, from George Pickens watching himself get drafted on TV to a montage of disappointed Jets fans.

    Plus, we discuss vacation packing habits, WNBA hopes for the upcoming season, and a pair of "classic" TV shows (okay, one classic and one that probably slipped under the radar) that Sean has never seen.

  • A Sports R Dumb Spring Cleaning
    2026/04/14

    It's the perfect time for a little sports spring cleaning! Goodbye, silly grievances, and hello exciting playoff pushes.


    We're making our NBA and NHL postseason predictions, teams named after natural disasters, peeing during golf outings, bad Shark Tank ideas, and the vibe of feeling fresh after a haircut.

  • A Sports R Dumb Live Event Bonanza
    2026/04/07

    Over the span of six days, Joey went to MLB Opening Day, multiple NCAA Tournament games, and a hockey game. What a time to be alive! We're recapping highlights from those events.


    Don't worry, Sean has enjoyed plenty of dumb sports moments, too. Texas was oh so close in its various tournament games. But alas, Sean was left disappointed in a Chili's.

  • Look At This Milestone! 200 Episodes of Sports R Dumb
    2026/03/24

    Holy cow! Sports R Dumb is celebrating its 200th episode. And how are we doing it? With a wild curiosity about this dumb ol' world of sports. Namely, we're diving into some of the more maddening parts of March Madness, from impressive buzzer beaters like those from St. John's and Kentucky, to almost immediate instances of basketball karma taking place on the court.

    That's not all, though. We're also exploring old phrases like the concept of a domestic engineer, determining which game shows we'd have the most success on, and diving into the ins and outs of casino table etiquette (spoiler alert: Sean is scared).

    Thank you for celebrating 200 with us. Cheers to many more Sports R Dumb shenanigans!

  • Dumb Ways to Fill Out Your March Madness Bracket
    2026/03/17

    What a whirlwind few days it's been! The Academy Awards, SXSW, literal massive windstorms sweeping through Texas and the Midwest...and of course, the unveiling of the NCAA Tournament Brackets. Welcome to March Madness!

    We're sharing how you can fill out your brackets creatively, whether by mascot, region, or unique tourist attractions. Plus, diving into variations of Monopoly. Did you know Sean has never actually finished a game? Wild stuff.

  • Fans Trying to Fight Players, Weird Probationary Periods, and Excellent Plots of 90s Baseball Movies R All Spring Forwardly Dumb
    2026/03/10

    We're in our first week of Daylight Savings Time here in the U.S., and that one less hour of sleep must have permeated its way through the sports world, too. We've got fans looking to throw chairs at players and/or getting escorted off in handcuffs during games for being too rambunctious.

    Meanwhile, Long Island University has already won the Northeast Conference because its title game opponent is ineligible due to silly Division II and III to Division I transfer rules.

    There's other silliness (and some great basketball) going on, but we're also taking a break to revisit the swath of excellent sports movies from the 90s, from Rookie of the Year to The 6th Man.

  • Leaving Your Team in the Middle of a Game is Perplexingly Dumb
    2026/03/03

    We've had quite a few dumb moments happening in college basketball, from Chad Baker-Mazara leaving his team midway through the game to Mick Cronin ejecting his own player after a flagrant foul. Meanwhile, Bruce Pearl is advocating that Miami (OH) should not make the NCAA Tournament despite a 29-0 record, while 15-14 Auburn should because they've played a harder schedule. Silly. And we've unfortunately seen several star players go out with injuries, but it isn't the death knell you'd expect for most of their teams. Plus, Joey and Sean go to an Austin Spurs game. Shenanigans predictably ensue.
