Episode Details

Episode 641 opens with football officially back and the ITB Survivor Pool locked in at 26 entries and a $1,300 pot. Mike compares Drake Maye’s brutal late-game mistakes to the Tony Romo experience, the guys talk about how quickly NFL predictions can fall apart once injuries hit, and they look ahead to Cowboys-Giants and the debut of the new In the Shed Cowboys postgame show presented by The Shedfather.

Then the show goes full Throwback Thursday. Mike breaks out a 1986 Little League photo featuring questionable ages, sleeveless coaches, red cleats and enough material to keep Rudy and Pelón busy for a while. From there, it’s John Harbaugh taking control of the New York media, the increasingly insane state of sports, an update on the late influencer “Tiny,” and two major ITB announcements involving Members Only Fridays and Zoo Week at the San Antonio Zoo.

Key Moments:

• Mike says Drake Maye is becoming his new Tony Romo, a quarterback he loves defending right before the guy makes a mistake that drives him insane.
• Throwback Thursday returns with Mike’s 1986 Little League baseball photo, complete with coaches who looked like they walked straight out of Bad News Bears.
• John Harbaugh gets praise for refusing to give the New York media information that could help the Cowboys prepare for the Giants.
• The “Tiny” story somehow gets even crazier when the guys discuss reports that he had undergone multiple previous penile filler procedures before his death.
• Beginning Friday, September 18, the Friday edition of In the Building will be Members Only, giving members an exclusive weekly live show with a looser, after-dark feel.
• Next week is officially ITB Zoo Week. The crew plans to spend the night at the San Antonio Zoo on September 15, staying at Spekboom Lodge, followed by a live show from the zoo’s Ralston Center on September 17 at 4 p.m.
• Cowboys-Giants Sunday night will be followed immediately by the new In the Shed Cowboys postgame show with Mike, Rudy and The Shedfather.

Final Thoughts:

Episode 641 starts with Drake Maye giving Mike PTSD from the Tony Romo years and ends with the show preparing to sleep overnight at the zoo. Somewhere in between there’s 1986 Little League, John Harbaugh fighting the New York media, Cowboys confidence, penis injections and a $1,300 Survivor Pool. In other words, a pretty normal episode of In the Building.
