Episode Details

A night after launching the first In the Shed Cowboys Post-Game Show, Mike and Rudy revisit Dallas’ ugly loss to the Giants with slightly cooler heads. The verdict hasn’t changed much. The defense was terrible, Christian Parker’s unit couldn’t adjust, and the guys believe Brian Schottenheimer and his staff got thoroughly outcoached by John Harbaugh and the Giants. Dallas now has to turn around quickly with another division game against Washington coming up.

Then it’s around the football world. Texas is No. 1 in the AP poll after its comeback against Ohio State, the ITB Survivor Pool gets absolutely slaughtered, and the guys fly around a ridiculous weekend of NFL results. Rudy also discovers that watching an entire tennis match is actually pretty damn fun after sitting through Ben Shelton’s U.S. Open final.
