490: Ole Miss, Expensive Sneakers and Bad Decisions

The Underdog returns with Chris Horwedel and Matt Crone discussing sneaker culture, Ole Miss football, the Philadelphia Eagles, the 76ers, NFL trade rumors, and golf, along with plenty of pop culture and unexpected detours.

The guys open with a deep dive into Nike Dunks, Air Jordans, and the increasingly ridiculous sneaker resale market. From the upcoming Reebok Question Mid Red Toe release to the expensive Jordan Green Screen, Nardwuar Dunks and Trophy Room Jordan 5s, Chris and Matt debate which shoes are actually worth buying and whether sneaker companies have lost their creativity.

The conversation shifts to Ole Miss preparing for a crucial showdown with No. 2 Georgia, with Matt weighing the Rebels' College Football Playoff chances and Trinidad Chambliss' Heisman Trophy hopes. They also discuss the first CFP rankings, Darian Mensah, CJ Carr, and how Miami's offense might respond to losing Malachi Toney.

In the NFL, Philadelphia's nightmare season continues as Joe Milton prepares to take over at quarterback. Chris and Matt discuss the upcoming trade deadline, potential Eagles departures, Tanner McKee's struggles, the Ravens' quarterback emergency, and Jacksonville's opportunity against Baltimore. The conversation also touches on Howie Roseman's roster decisions and Jeffrey Lurie's long tenure as Eagles owner.

On the basketball side, LeBron James has brought new excitement to the Philadelphia 76ers, with Chris and Matt discussing the team's impressive start, Tyrese Maxey, Joel Embiid, and why watching Philadelphia has become fun again.

The episode also ventures into Disney Channel nostalgia, Scrubs, sneaker collecting, and an unusual grocery delivery request for a four-star rating. Finally, the guys discuss the PGA Tour, rising golfer Blades Brown and Matt's golf season, which ends with a memorable birdie and a 17.8 handicap.
