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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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!

Have you ever watched a game where it felt like the team that won had just backed into the victory? These dumb wins happen all the time, and we're revisiting some of our favorites.

You'll hear about this weird spinning onside kick the Falcons refused to pick up, the Lions winning a game after missing a field goal, and perhaps the silliest baseball play you'll ever see.

College football celebrated Rivalry Week, and we saw a ton of flag planting. And fighting...after the media told these teams how much they hate each other.

Plus, remember that final Bears drive on Thanksgiving? We sure had a lot of silly things happen this past week. Welcome to December.
