Sports R Dumb

Joey Held, Sean Hill

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.

Sports R Dumb - Player Flops R Painfully Dumb
play

05/17/22 • 15 min

If you've been keeping an eye on the NBA playoffs, you might have noticed an alarming trend: an increase in flopping. Nobody wants to watch a game with people falling down like dominoes, led by future Hall of Famer Chris Paul.

Plus, remember when Chris Rock was randomly at the Dave Chappelle show where the latter comedian got attacked? That was weird.

Also, a look at when the ambulance used to run over players in games of Madden (shout out to this wonderful runaway cart ), a geographically absurd tweet from Magic Johnson, and a silly sports cliche about how often we should take things.

Sports R Dumb - The Baseball Hall of Fame is Eternally Dumb
play

07/12/22 • 11 min

At one point in the history of baseball, a lot of people were using steroids. But Hall of Fame voters think some of those players shouldn't be enshrined in Cooperstown. Like Barry Bonds (who hit lots of home runs) or Pete Rose (who bet on his own team). And that rankles Sean's feathers.

Joey and Sean also discuss the Louisville Slugger Museum and away messages from the days of AOL Instant Messenger (which we lovingly called AIM, duh).

Plus, a perplexing tweet from Ja Morant and a tremendous sports cliche about how good players can be.

Sports R Dumb - College Football Coach Buyouts R Foolishly Dumb
play

12/07/22 • 11 min

There's no better job in the world than being a fired college football coach. Do an average or even a poor job and earn millions of dollars to go away. Meanwhile, let's keep talking about how we can't pay the players on the field.

We're talking about some of the more exorbitant examples of coaches who have been fired this season. In a couple of cases, the school administration doing the firing could have saved money simply by waiting a few weeks. Money is wild, y'all.

Plus, Sean gets a boost in his karaoke confidence and has wild experiences while bowling for the first time in years and shuffleboarding for the first time in forever. And our sports cliche is quite the brain teaser. What a terrific time!

Sports R Dumb - Baseball's Unwritten Rules R Secretly Dumb
play

05/24/22 • 14 min

There are a lot of rules in baseball. Some of them are clearly stated, while others are unwritten, but everyone is just supposed to know. This episode is about that latter category.

We also share some of our ideal home run celebrations. Because hitting a home run is hard work, and we should celebrate accordingly. And this play from Francisco Lindor while being interviewed is super cool!

Plus, a misunderstood tweet from DeSean Jackson and a silly sports cliche about who you should be paying attention to. Also, here's that Bojack Horseman sign joke video we talked about.

Sports R Dumb - Position Players Pitching Is Out of Sorts Dumb
play

06/21/22 • 14 min

In baseball, you have pitchers and non-pitchers. Yet in blowout games, we're often seeing those non-pitchers take the mound. What gives? Well, teams are trying to rest their pitching staff, but the results of, say, an outfielder pitching are...typically not great.

We're also briefly touching on the 2017 film Going in Style and the chaos of trying to pitch in little league.

Plus, a hysterically observant tweet by Jason Concepcion and a silly sports cliche about the amount of time we need to do good work.

Sports R Dumb - Sports Lists R Numerically Dumb
play

06/28/22 • 14 min

Sports shows need to fill a lot of airtime, and one great way to do that? With some lists, of course! And Sean thinks it's spectacularly dumb, especially when a top 5 list ends up having a tie and we get six players on it. Then the fans get SO MAD about it. This is just one person's dumb opinion! They're not saying a player is bad because they're not on a list.

Meanwhile, why do we mainly do top 5, top 7, top 9, or top 10 lists? Also, isn't Ryan Gosling as Ken pretty fantastic? And a shameless plug for our podcast Parks n Wrecked, which is a great listen. Check it out here!

Plus, a friendly thirsty tweet from former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman, and a silly sports cliche about where you leave stuff during a game.

Sports R Dumb - NFL Draft Grades R Hyperbolically Dumb
play

05/03/22 • 7 min

How do you assign grades to something that doesn't happen yet? It's a strong question posed by Sean, and one we hope to get to the bottom of during this episode.

Plus, a fabulous tweet brain teaser from George Kittle and a silly sports cliche about what things are.

Sports R Dumb - Reactions to Sports Fights R Overwhelmingly Dumb
play

06/07/22 • 17 min

In sports such as hockey, people go to the games in hopes of seeing a fight. In sports such as basketball — not so much. Why is that? Would a penalty box in other sports help the situation?

Sean also tries to name various members of Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC. How do you think he does? And Joey is irritated by Delta Airlines, but their poor communication did allow him to see the delightful movie The Biggest Little Farm.

Plus, an uneducational tweet by former Ohio State quarterback Cardale Jones, and a silly sports cliche about playing games.

Sean doesn't know if hell is high, but today's topic pisses him off to high hell. When a team wants to build a new ballpark (and it's often a want, not a need), it turns to its city to help pay for it. The billionaire owners don't pay for it, the hardworking citizens do. That's quite dumb.

Joey and Sean also discuss the corporate feel of the new Texas Rangers stadium, plus a terrible night out for a 21-year-old Sean after drinking a ridiculous beverage from a bar.

Plus, a tweet that wasn't even good in 2013 and a sports cliche about the types of faces we have.
