Scott debates whether he has enough energy to try EA’s NFL Training Camp fitness game, and whether an NFL game called “Training Camp” that’s released in November suffers from awkward marketing. Plus, new MacBook Pro rumors, a strange sequined glove pack-in for Ubisoft’s Michael Jackson game, and a close-up look at the Samsung QX410 , one of the best all-around laptop values of the year, and a recent four-star reviewed product.

TV guru David Katzmaier sits in for Joey this week, talking about his adventures in cord cutting. Like Scott, he also recently ditched his cable service for a mix of over-the-air and IPTV.
