Sports R Dumb

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.

  • Blaming One Call or Play for a Team's Loss is Short-Sightedly Dumb
    Oct 1 2024

    Joey is back after an east coast adventure, and quite a bit happened! He went to an Orioles game, a Phillies game, made a few friends, had some laughs, and went to a Miami Hurricanes watch party in New York City. Never has there been so much anxiety in one room!

    Miami won on a Hail Mary that was overturned, and people got enraged. They yelled things like, "How could you say there was indisputable evidence?" or suggesting the NCAA is rigged. These same folks seem to conveniently overlook other elements from the game like Virginia Tech failing at a fake field goal or being extremely casual with time management on the final drive.

    As it turns out, a game consists of more than just one play. And this is hardly the only context where it's happened. So, try not to overreact too much to one moment, yeah? It's a good rule for life in general.

    Since we recorded, we also lost sports legends Dikembe Mutombo and Pete Rose. Our thoughts are with their families, and we hope you do a finger wag or make a graceful slide in their honor.

  • Behaviors That Inconvenience Other Fans at a Live Game R Self-Absorbedly Dumb
    Sep 24 2024

    Joey has attended MANY baseball games in person over the past month or so. He's noticed a trend at some of these stadiums: People standing in the way, completely unaware of other fans around them. Sean has seating gripes, too. It all boils down to the simple lesson of having just the littlest bit of compassion for your fellow human.

  • Too Many Streaming Network Subscriptions R Overwhelmingly Dumb
    Sep 17 2024

    Sean’s car got broken into — that is DUMB. But it’s not about sports, so it only gets an honorable mention in this episode.

    The rest of his ire is directed at the copious amounts of streaming services that offer live games. Trying to keep up with everything is an impossible task when you need to subscribe to approximately 194 different platforms—and you still often don’t get all the advertised games. As always, greed and money play a significant factor.

    We hope you get to watch your favorite games without issue. Follow Sports R Dumb on Instagram or give the show a rating or review on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or Goodpods. Thanks for listening!
