Chris Horwedel and Matt Crone dig into Ole Miss football after Georgia’s dominant victory, with the College Football Playoff hopes fading and Oklahoma next on the schedule. They also talk Deuce Knight, Arch Manning, Matt’s trip to Villanova against La Salle, and the fast-growing world of NIL contracts in college football. The conversation moves through MLB award winners, including Jacob Misiorowski and Cam Schlittler sweeping Cy Young Award voting, plus Pete Crow-Armstrong’s season and Philadelphia’s reported interest in Japanese pitching prospect Shoki Oda. There is also a major Eagles discussion after the Jordan Davis trade to the Jacksonville Jaguars, with Howie Roseman’s draft compensation, Jalen Hurts’ future and the upcoming NFL Draft all in play. Beyond the games, the episode wanders through golf, LIV Golf, golf course aeration, expensive equipment, and rising PGA Tour star Blades Brown. Chris and Matt also get into Grand Theft Auto’s enormous installation size, PlayStation storage problems, *Murderville*, *MobLand*, and television talk that turns into unexpected detours.
