The LCS has finally changed its format! I try to explain it in a way you can understand... The CFP is set, and nobody cared. I tell which bowl games are actually worth watching and breakdown the NFL's playoff picture. Patience is a virtue, gamers. AND what is going on with Sports Illustrated!?

The NBA season is finally at its end! NFL keeps on chugging but there are COVID issues, hoo boy. BYU barely wins, fun matchups in the Top 25 and I talk about each league's competitive balance, or lack thereof!

My initial reaction to the World Cup draw, the collapse of the Jazz, NFL news, the All LCS 1st team and my review of the new MLB the Show!

In this week’s spelunk into The Matt Cave, the optimism surrounding Real Salt Lake has evaporated. Matt breaks down a rough two-game stretch, the scoring crisis plaguing the team, and the looming shadow of a rebuild that may be inevitable—yes, even involving Diego Luna.
Then it's off to the IIHF World Championship, where Utah Mammoth players are repping the USA, Canada, and Czechia with pride (and some serious stats). What does it mean for the club and the future?
Plus: a loaded dive into the world of video games. MLB The Show 25 gets dissected from "Road to the Show" to franchise mode quirks, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 earns a glowing 10/10, and Bungie once again finds itself in controversy—this time over alleged art theft in Marathon.
No fluff, no filler—just another real one from The Matt Cave.

It's time to take a look back at the year that was for the Big 3 college football schools in Utah!
Starting with Utah State, Matt will dive into the overall season performance, where he thought they would be going into the season and the amount of production lost to transfer, graduation and the NFL Draft.
How did Utah State do? Well, actually BETTER than the prediction! Listen now to hear where the Aggies exceeded, where they fell flatter than a piece of paper and the changes that are coming in 2025.
03/27/23 • 42 min
Much like the title says, I tell YOU who will win each Division in baseball, the Cy Youngs and MVPs and the World Series matchup! There is also players to watch for nearly every team and the four or five games I am looking forward to this spring!
