For those of you unfamiliar with the concept of our File Dump…in short, we here at Dubsism believe that when we have just too many good jokes about somebody that we haven’t gotten around to using, and then their career is over, we just can’t let all those good shots go to waste. Since today… Read More File Dump: The Jim Tressel Edition
We as a nation should all get behind the Dallas Mavericks for one reason. If the Heat win the Championship in the first season after the “Decision,” we will be subject to a full summer of the “LeBron” show, from which the resultant pandemic nausea may kill numbers of Americans unseen since the Spanish Flu… Read More Why You Shouldn’t Cheer For: The Miami Heat
Sure, this is a small-time blog written by a group of convicted felons and read by worse.

Realistically, he was a comical figure as a mouthpiece for Saddam’s regime; his… Read More Frank McCourt Needs a Minister of Information
Things to Remember: References to the “Kiper Theory” are ironically based on our Dubsism Anti-Kiper NFL Draft Board. We refused to change our board based on hype, workouts, or Todd McShay.
