Sports Doppelgangers, Volume 72 – The “Soul Man” Edition
You have to think back to the 1980’s for this one. That was the decade which first brought us North Carolina Tar Heel and Cleveland Cavalier center Brad Daugherty before he became ESPN’s NASCAR expert. If you think going from the NBA to NASCAR is an odd transformation, it can’t be any worse than Daugherty’s… Read More Sports Doppelgangers, Volume 72 – The “Soul Man” Edition

Sports Doppelgangers, Volume 70 – Oddly Enough, It’s About “That 70’s Show”
Since tonight marks the beginning of the NBA’s All-Star weekend, it only makes sense that we should feature a guy making his first All-Star game. The TV relationship between Ashton Kutcher and Mila “Jackie Burkhardt” Kunis on “That 70’s Show” eventually became an exercise in real-life bumping of fuzzy parts. However, this doesn’t work in… Read More Sports Doppelgangers, Volume 70 – Oddly Enough, It’s About “That 70’s Show”
RIP Jerry Tarkanian – I Knew He Was A Genius Long Before You Ever Heard Of Him
There’s probably a bunch of people in Las Vegas who don’t know why the flags are all at half-mast today. College basketball fans under the age of 30 may not even remember Jerry Tarkanian, and many others may only know him as the guy who chewed on towels. After all, Tark’s University of Nevada-Las Vegas… Read More RIP Jerry Tarkanian – I Knew He Was A Genius Long Before You Ever Heard Of Him
Sports Doppelgangers, Volume 69
This one almost sounds like the setup to a joke. “So, a future NBA MVP and an excessively weird 1930’s Mexican artist walk into a bar…” But there’s no joke about the fact that New Orleans Pelicans center Anthony Davis and quirky artist Frida Kahlo share some distinct features. For our full series of Doppelgangers,… Read More Sports Doppelgangers, Volume 69
Sports Doppelgangers, Volume 66 – Say Hello To My Little Cavalier
This one comes to us from a guy named Jeremy Bellmyer. We here at Dubsism don’t know him, but he knows our regular collaborator Ryan Meehan. While that in and of itself should be enough of an indictment of his character, the fact that he came up with a pretty solid addition to this series… Read More Sports Doppelgangers, Volume 66 – Say Hello To My Little Cavalier
The Dubsism Top Fifteen Sports Stories of 2014
15) The College Football Play-off and the ESPN-ization of Bowl Games There are two words to describe how we got this four-team playoff to determine the college football national champion.

Project Rebuild: The Los Angeles Lakers
Last night, I watched the Los Angeles Lakers lose by nineteen to the exceptionally mediocre Indiana Pacers. There were times in that game where the Lakers were trailing by over thirty points. That was the moment I realized this may very well be the worst Laker team I’ve ever seen. There’s two types of Lakers’… Read More Project Rebuild: The Los Angeles Lakers
