• A Much Needed Vacation From Sports is Not at All Dumb
    Apr 22 2025

    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.

  • Comparing Records to Players from Previous Eras is Derogatorily Dumb
    Apr 15 2025

    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!

  • A Dumb Weekend in Sports, Fitting for April Fools' Day
    Apr 1 2025

    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 Dumbest Elements of March Madness
    Mar 25 2025

    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.

  • Filling Out Dumb March Madness Brackets
    Mar 18 2025

    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!

  • All These Mavericks Injuries R Karmically Dumb
    Mar 11 2025

    As you may know, Sean is a Dallas Mavericks fan. You may also remember the team traded Luka Doncic about a month ago, and the star the Mavericks got in return getting injured in his very first game.

    Even more chaos has happened since then, and it is tough to support the Mavericks right now. Sean is just about spiritually broken by the end of this episode.

    Plus, some NFL shenanigans. We're also in the middle of SXSW, so we're sharing some of the highlights from the annual music, tech, and film festival in Austin. And here's that Pele on The Simpsons video we reference!
