  • Sports R Dumb, Athletic Oscars Edition

    The Oscars just celebrated the biggest night in Hollywood. We're doing the same with sports! Sean breaks down his top sports moments of the year, from Best Actor and Actress (Athletes) to Best Picture (the most memorable game). It's a grandiose event, except you don't have to dress up in black tie formal wear to enjoy it.

  • Annual Sports Video Games with No Gameplay Updates R Money-Grabbingly Dumb

    Sports video game titles get released every year. Sometimes, you have to wonder why you're shelling out another $60 to $80. Is a roster update and nothing else really worth it?


    Plus, we share some of our favorite modes from video games over the years. Hopefully, some of these take you back to simpler times.

  • These Extraneous Activities During NBA All-Star Weekend R Distractingly Dumb

    The NBA hosted its All-Star Weekend and...why are there so many non-basketball things going on? Kevin Hart was roasting players DURING a game. MrBeast was hosting a halftime shootout that seemed wildly forced. A YouTuber named Jesser probably cannot dunk a basketball on a regulation rim, and he was one of the judges of the Slam Dunk Contest! And oh so many commercials and stoppages in play.


    The Internet was ablaze with criticism, and understandably so. Even some of the players were getting annoyed. That's when you know things are really bad. Also, let's bring back NBA Jam Session!

  • Nonsensical NBA Deals Like The Mavs Trading Luka Doncic R Baffingly Dumb

    The Dallas Mavericks shocked the basketball world by trading Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis. Doncic is 25 years old, a top-five player in the league, and has made the All-NBA First Team his past five seasons. Davis turns 33 next month and is often injured, plus he doesn't seem to fit super well within the Mavericks lineup.

    Sean, a lifelong Mavs fan, is distraught. He's trying to make sense of the deal, and we share some of our favorite Luka memories from over the years.

  • Claims the NFL is Scripted R Conspiratorially Dumb

    The Kansas City Chiefs (and Taylor Swift) are back in the Super Bowl. That must mean the NFL is scripted, right?


    Plus, Sean gives a postmortem on the latest Cowboys coaching moves. And we reminisce about a handful of players from the mid-2000s. What a ride.

  • Highlighting Failures Instead of Success is Negatively Dumb

    This past weekend, the Bills and Eagles defeated the Ravens and Rams, respectively. The Ohio State Buckeyes won the College Football Playoff, beating the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Yet, many pundits and fans wondered...did those teams really win, or did the other teams lose?

    We seem set on highlighting failures and not giving teams and players credit for playing well. It's an odd foible of sports, and...well, it's dumb.

  • The Timing of the Transfer Portal is Frantically Dumb

    Sean has been playing LA Noire, a game that came out nearly 14 years ago but is new to him. He's tussling between believing suspects or accusing them of lies, and it's chaotic all around. But maybe it'll help him forget about how Texas played in the College Football Playoff semifinal.

    Speaking of chaos, the college football transfer portal is so silly. Players can leave before their bowl games, meaning the teams on the field might not be the actual players who were competing during the year. What kind of sense does that make?

  • New Year, New Dumb Predictions

    It's a new year, and that means it's time for us to say goodbye to the silliness of 2024 while making predictions for 2025. Come along for the journey and share some of your favorites, too!

    And here's that ridiculous foul by Draymond Green that made Richard Jefferson laugh incredibly hard.

  • The Degradation of Bowl Games Is Progressively Dumb

    Welcome to the last Sports R Dumb of the year! 2024 sure has been something, hasn't it? It's bowl season, and these bowl games aren't what they used to be. The killing of tradition in the name of dollars is dumb!

    Joey also quizzes Sean on the sponsors and participants of various bowl games. Play along at home and see if you do better than Sean. The bar is pretty low.

    We'll see you in 2025. Happy holidays!
