It's a new year, but sports continue to be dumb! We're chatting through some of the silliest moments of the NFL season, perhaps best enshrined by the NFC South champion Carolina Panthers finishing 8-9 and making the playoffs, while the entire NFC North finished with a winning record (and two of those teams didn't make the playoffs).

Plus, we're sharing some New Year's resolutions around sports, Sean is thrilled that he has continued to avoid playing fantasy football, and Joey helped a lost dog return home. And how about those Miami Hurricanes?! The College Football Playoff is wild, gang!

We also talk about Leslie Jones's terrific memoir. You can check it out here or listen to the audiobook wherever audiobook are available.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, and wouldn’t you know it, sports are still dumb. We’re in a nostalgic mood as part of our last episode of the year, so we’re diving into some of our favorite, most memorable, and dumbest moments from 2025. You’ll hear about the Luka Doncic trade, a bizarre stretch of behavior from Puka Nacua, and an insane amount of wild games on March 27.

Plus, Sean received a lovely box of cookies as a gift but has to contend with ants. And many years ago, Joey missed the opportunity to play basketball with Adam Sandler. It still bums him out to this day.

Thank you as always for listening. Hope you have a wonderful holiday season and we’ll see you in the new year!

Sean and Joey both attended the University of Miami (Sean in grad school, Joey in undergrad), and they're thrilled the Hurricanes are participating in the College Football Playoff. Does that mean they understand how they got here? Certainly not!

Notre Dame was ranked ahead of Miami in every previous installment of the rankings, continued beating teams by a lot, and then dropped out. BYU beat every team on its schedule not named Texas Tech and fell out of the rankings after sounding losing its conference championship game. Alabama also badly lost its conference championship game and suffered no consequences. Miami was rewarded for not playing a conference championship game.

If all this back and forth doesn't make your head spin, kudos to you. You're very brave.

Plus, Joey and Sean share highlights from their trips to New York City and St. Lucia, respectively. And we might be doing a future episode from the top of a mountain. Unclear.
