Soccer, shooters, and some spicy NFL drama—this week’s Matt Cave has it all.

First, Matt breaks down Real Salt Lake’s wild run in the Leagues Cup, explaining what the tournament actually is, why MLS vs. Liga MX is heating up, and how RSL’s penalty shootouts became must-watch chaos.

Then it’s on to Battlefield 6, where EA finally looks ready to bounce back after the disaster of 2042. Hear why the new reveal has Matt cautiously hyped and why this could be the Battlefield comeback fans have been waiting for.

Finally, we wrap with a hilarious dive into Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys’ Micah Parsons drama, because watching America’s Team implode in the offseason is just too much fun.

Football season is almost here, but until then, we’ve got plenty to rant about in the Cave. Spelunk in and enjoy the show!

This week in The Matt Cave, Matt tries to process two things he never thought he'd say in 2025: Real Salt Lake is in playoff position, and BYU Men’s Basketball is being hyped as a national title contender. No, seriously.

First, he breaks down RSL’s wild 2-1 win over San Jose, featuring two goals that were more “gifts” than greatness. Then it's time to dive into an ESPN article that has BYU ahead of blue bloods like Duke, Kansas, and Michigan State — a sentence 15-year-old Matt would never believe. AJ Dybantsa, transfer portal wins, and offensive firepower? What timeline is this?

Plus:

• Thoughts on Pablo Mastroeni’s Herculean coaching job
• A preview of what’s coming during college football season
• Updates on Matt’s EA Sports College Football 26 review and a potential Mammoth podcast opportunity 👀

Spelunk in, share with a friend, and prepare for some unfiltered Utah sports takes like only The Matt Cave can provide.

This week in The Matt Cave, Real Salt Lake finally breaks the curse in Portland, notching their first win in Oregon since 2017 — only to trip over themselves at home against Eastern Conference leader FC Cincinnati. Matt breaks down both matches and what they mean for RSL’s playoff hopes (yes, playoffs).

Plus: A quick but funny Utah Mammoth update involving ESPN’s painfully slow name correction, and a deep dive into six video games worth your time in a pretty meh release year. From Borderlands 4 hype to Pokémon Legends: Z-A, to tangents on why Ubisoft is the worst, this episode has rants, recs, and real talk.

Celebrate Pioneer Day with some salty MLS truth and nerdy game previews — only in The Matt Cave.
