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
7 Questions with Rob DaRocha

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”

The Deep Six: Terrible Sports Ideas Which Thankfully Haven’t Happened Yet
by J-Dub and Ryan Meehan Ideas are the very fabric of innovation. While that line sounds awfully deep for a silly-ass sports blog, it is nonetheless painfully true. Without ideas, as a race we humans would have nothing to do and would spend even more time masturbating. Take we writers of this piece for example.… Read More The Deep Six: Terrible Sports Ideas Which Thankfully Haven’t Happened Yet
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 67 – The Super Bowl 49 Edition
What is becoming a tradition here at Dubsism is to point out the look-alikes present on the rosters of both Super Bowl contestants. The problem we face this year is both of these teams have been in recent Super Bowls, which means we faced a bit of a challenge. We weren’t doing this feature the… Read More Sports Doppelgangers, Volume 67 – The Super Bowl 49 Edition
