ESPN canceled long-time program Around the Horn, a staple for both Sean and Joey during their formative years and into adulthood. The show had a terrific run, but we're more concerned with what ESPN is replacing it with: nothing of note.

We're running out of shows that highlight sports journalism and instead just want talking heads that can either break news or yell at each other. And sure, ATH had those moments of banter, as well, but it was often grounded with respect and journalistic integrity. It's going to be rough having less of that on the airwaves.

We're in the midst of NBA and NHL playoffs, and we've even got wacky events on ESPNEWS like the Tetris championships. Yet, it's the NFL that's got people buzzing because it has no shame about turning mundane offseason events into glorified news cycles.

Schedule release videos? Let's make 'em extravagant. Christmas Day games? Let's steal the NBA's thunder. Contract updates and player's offseason appearances? Let's dissect them until they crumble under the spotlight. It's just the silliest.

Sean and Joey are watching the NBA Draft Lottery unfold in real time. And, well...just about the dumbest thing imaginable happened. Let's dive in!

Curious how the lottery works? The NBA breaks it down here.

Joey goes to Portugal and experiences a nationwide blackout while trying to keep up with U.S. sporting events. Sean runs a 5K. This "Greatest Hit of Disturbed" video gets brought up. It's a magical coterie of events!

This is Sean's favorite time of the sports year since there's so much going on. We're exploring our favorite storylines from the NBA and NHL playoffs and talking about some ridiculous moments surrounding the NFL Draft (including a time Sean got cut off at a wings bar).

As the name of this episode suggests, Sports R Dumb is taking a vacation! We'll be back on May 6. See you then! In the meantime, enjoy this classic meme.

Alexander Ovechkin just broke Wayne Gretzky's record for the most goals scored in an NHL career. It's an impressive achievement of both talent and longevity. Yet when you try to give Ovechkin kudos, there's always at least one person who says something like, "Yeah, but...he's still not Gretzky." Why do we need to put someone down? Why can't we just celebrate both players? And here's the Calvin and Hobbes comic strip we reference. What a gem!

The men's and women's NCAA basketball tournaments are in the books! Congratulations to the Florida Gators and UConn Huskies for their respective victories. We're looking back at the championship games, lamenting a few heartbreaks, and sharing our individual one shining moments from March Madness.

Between the wild end of the Bulls and Lakers game, the Pacers dropping 162 points, some very chalky March Madness brackets, and the start of the baseball season, there was quite a bit of wackiness this weekend in sports. We're getting you all caught up on the top moments.

The NCAA Tournament has given us plenty of excitement and several close, back-and-forth games. But, as is customary with sports, there are some dumb moments, too. We're exploring those and seeing how those brackets we filled out last episode are doing.

It's the longest episode of Sports R Dumb yet! We've got a lot to get through. Sean is filling out a bracket with absolutely no knowledge of college basketball. Meanwhile, Joey is filling his out based entirely on mascots (and he apologizes to the Tritons. For some reason he thought Michigan had a Wolverine mascot!). Aside from that, you will certainly learn a thing or two about a mascot you never knew about. What a time to be alive. Happy bracketeering!
