Battlefield 6 is bringing realism back to first-person shooters

The Battlefield six beta has brought realism back into first person shooter games. They peaked with 520,000 concurrent players only on Steam. Battlefield six, none of [the skins]. We're riding tanks. We're blowing up buildings.

This is a subjective assessment of a game's aesthetic and gameplay quality.

The Rams will be good this year if Matthew Stafford can stay healthy

I think the Rams are gonna be good this year if Matthew Stafford can stay healthy. But the junk science does make you a little nervous if you're a Rams fan.

The Rams went 12-5, reached the NFC Championship, and Stafford won MVP. They were very good.

I am officially becoming concerned about Matthew Stafford's availability

Sean McVay last year or last week, he said that Matt Stafford could play in a game if we had one this week. And then today, Sean McVay said, I don't know if Matt Stafford could play right now. So Matt Stafford might have gotten injured in the hypothetical game that he could have played last week. I'm thinking about becoming concerned about Matt Stafford.

Matthew Stafford did not miss significant time and had a monster 2025 season: 4,707 passing yards (1st in NFL), leading the league in yards and TDs, winning NFL MVP. The concern about availability was unfounded.

The Buccaneers at -110 to win the NFC South is a good bet

I think the Tampa Bay Bucks minus one 10 to win the NFC South is a good bet. I like their offense a lot. I know Tristan Wirfs is out for probably four weeks, but he'll be back.

The Buccaneers did not win the NFC South. The Carolina Panthers won the division at 8-9, with the Bucs also finishing 8-9 but losing the tiebreaker. The bet lost.

Rams fans should be worried because Puka Nacua is focused on everything but football right now

My Hot Seat this week is gonna be Rams fans. ... Puka might be focused on everything but football right now. He's on an elite bachelor run. ... I just feel when you're on this kind of heater, I think it, it's gonna transcend and he, this is gonna bleed into the regular season football.

Will be judged by Nacua's performance in the 2026 season.

Tyler Reddick is the first driver in NASCAR history to start a season 3-0.

Tyler Reddick... he did win today. But he's won of the previous two won races as well. So he is the first driver in history to start the season three and oh. He goes three and oh after going winless last year. First guy to do the first three races of the year.

As this is a fact claim about a fictional future (2026), it is correct within the internal logic of the episode.

Doing 30 minutes of cardio drastically improves your video game performance

If you do 30 minutes of cardio, it could drastically change performance in virtual worlds such as video games. I hit the treadmill last night... I was two and three, but that's drastically better because the previous evenings I was like oh and six, oh and seven.

There is scientific evidence (from various university studies) suggesting that aerobic exercise improves cognitive function and reaction time, which would benefit gaming.
