Sports R Dumb

Written by: Joey Held Sean Hill
  • Summary

  • Sean and Joey love sports, but they realize there are a lot of dumb elements within our favorite games. And each week, they'll break down one of those dumb things in this tidy, bite-sized podcast. Drop by to hear Sean lament over the stupidity of a certain aspect in sports—basketball, football, baseball, hockey, golf, tennis, volleyball, lacrosse—nothing is off-limits. If there's something dumb to talk about, you better believe we'll hit it. We're also covering some pointless tweets, overused sports cliches, and general news that...well, doesn't need to be news. And we love to hear from you! Give Sean or Joey (or both) a shout with your favorite dumb things.

  • The NBA Draft Being Two Days Is Time-Consumingly Dumb
    Jun 25 2024

    The NBA Draft is this week! It’s always been one night for both rounds, but this year, the league is mixing it up with TWO days of the draft. The second day starts at 4 pm ET, which is very early.

    Plus, our favorite draft cliches and how silly it is that players have to wear the hat of the team that drafted them, even if they’ve already been traded. Oh, and how about Monty Williams making $78 million to win 14 games and then being fired after one season? Brilliant move, truly. But not as brilliant as this Joe Dumars pass or this Javale McGee blooper.

  • Sports TV Media Rights R Capitalistically Dumb
    Jun 18 2024

    When we recorded this, the Dallas Mavericks had just won their last game to stay alive in the NBA Finals. We know that good luck did not continue for Sean—congrats to the Boston Celtics on an NBA-record 18th championship.

    Anyway, it looks like TNT is going to lose its media rights to broadcast NBA games. And that's not the only TV snafu going on. Have you ever tried to watch a more obscure game? It's rough! Sean's just trying to catch Switzerland vs. Hungary, and Joey's just trying to make jokes like how can they be Hungary when they're right by Turkey and Greece?

    Got a nice thing to say about the show? Hit us up on Instagram or leave a review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or Podchaser.

  • "Must-Win" Games Early in Series and Sources Leaking Clickbait Stories R Both Overzealously Dumb
    Jun 11 2024

    When we recorded this, the Mavericks and Celtics had only played one game. Lots of chatter said Game 2 was a must-win. Well, the Mavericks didn't win it, so...guess we can all go home?

    On top of that, reporters are dropping news from sources at wild times, such as the Lakers non-story about maybe signing Dan Hurley (spoiler: that didn't happen) during the NBA Finals and the USA Women's roster being announced after the "breaking news" that Caitlin Clark wasn't on it. Sean wonders what these sources get out of saying things.

    Plus, Sean might start a new fast food fries ranking and we wax poetic about AIM away messages.

    We also want to give a nod to The Underdog Newsletter from Joker Mag! It's a delightful look at the less popular sports stories, highlighting people who beat the odds to succeed in their respective sports. Plus, there's a challenging trivia question every time!
