https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/this-is-the-greatest-sports-day-of-the-year
As my former colleague Reuben Fischer-Baumwrote on a couple of occasions, it’s when all four major U.S. sports leagues — the NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB — play at least one game on the same day.

Dead rubber is a term used in sports to describe a match in a series where the series result has already been decided by earlier matches. The dead rubber match therefore has no effect on the winner and loser of the series, other than the number of matches won and lost.
