The Baseball Hall of Fame is Eternally Dumb

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.

Is Golf A Sport? A Dumb Discussion
A lot of golfers are defecting from the PGA to LIV, which is backed by Saudi Arabia. It's been a popular topic of discussion among the media, but Sean has a more interesting query: is golf even a sport?
Sean doesn't think so. One of his reasons is John Daly, seen here looking like he's having a grand ol' time. Meanwhile, do you know how to escape from an alligator when it's trying to attack you?

Using Taxpayer Money to Fund New Stadiums Is Financially Dumb
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.
