    SUNDAY IS A MUST-WIN FOR THE COWBOYS! JERRY NEEDS DEFENSIVE HELP NOW | In the Shed | EP. 7
    Oct 29 2026
    THE COWBOYS CANNOT AFFORD ANOTHER LOSS! Mike Taylor and Rudy Jay are back for Episode 7 of In the Shed, and the message is simple: Dallas has to beat the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. The Cowboys are trying to climb back into the NFC East race, but their defense continues to be a major problem. Dallas has now allowed at least 20 points in 14 consecutive games, a franchise record the guys would rather forget. With the NFL trade deadline approaching, Mike and Rudy want Jerry Jones to start making phone calls. Other teams are selling, defensive talent is moving, and the Cowboys desperately need someone who can pressure the quarterback. Could Maxx Crosby be the answer? Would Dallas consider trading George Pickens to improve the defense? And will Jerry actually make a move, or just keep talking about being a buyer? PLUS, the guys discuss Troy Aikman's possible future with the Cowboys, Brian Schottenheimer's commitment to the running game, and why Dallas still has a chance to make some noise in the NFC East. TOPICS COVERED: COWBOYS VS. CARDINALS: Why Sunday's home game is a must-win, or as Mike puts it, a can't-lose.NFC EAST PLAYOFF RACE: Mike's goal is for Dallas to reach 7-5 by the end of November.COWBOYS DEFENSIVE DISASTER: Dallas has allowed at least 20 points in 14 straight games.NFL TRADE DEADLINE: Why Jerry Jones needs to explore every opportunity to improve the pass rush.MAXX CROSBY TRADE TALK: Could the Raiders' star pass rusher transform the Cowboys defense?GEORGE PICKENS TRADE DEBATE: Would sacrificing an offensive weapon be worth the defensive upgrade?COLTS AND TITANS FIRE SALES: Other NFL teams are moving valuable players while Dallas searches for help.QUINNEN WILLIAMS AND THE DEFENSIVE LINE: The guys discuss how adding an elite edge rusher could help the entire front.BRIAN SCHOTTENHEIMER'S OFFENSE: Why Dallas must stick with the running game.DAK PRESCOTT: How a balanced offense can make Dak more effective.TROY AIKMAN'S FUTURE: Why Mike doesn't believe Aikman will take a meaningful job under Jerry Jones.AIKMAN'S BROADCASTING CAREER: Could Troy step away from television or eventually move to another network?THE SHEDFATHER: Mike and Rudy imagine their dream backyard spaces, from cigar lounges to podcast studios. KEY MOMENTS: 1. SUNDAY IS A CAN'T-LOSE GAME Mike doesn't love the phrase "must-win." He prefers "can't-lose." But the message is the same. If the Dallas Cowboys are serious about competing in the NFC East, they cannot lose at home to the Arizona Cardinals. The division is still within reach, but Dallas has already made its path more difficult. Mike believes the Cowboys could put themselves in an interesting position if they reach 7-5 by the end of November. That means taking care of business against teams they should beat. Starting Sunday. The Cowboys were listed as seven-point favorites during the show, but Mike and Rudy aren't rushing to make an official pick. They'll save that for the members-only football picks show. 2. THE COWBOYS DEFENSE HAS SET AN UGLY RECORD This is not the kind of franchise history Cowboys fans want to celebrate. Mike reveals that Dallas has allowed at least 20 points in 14 consecutive games dating back to the previous season. That's a Cowboys record. And Rudy's reaction says everything. The defense is struggling. The pass rush isn't producing enough sacks or pressure. And the offense is being asked to compensate for too many defensive breakdowns. Mike and Rudy don't need Dallas to have the best defense in the NFL. They just want something respectable. A defense that can occasionally get off the field. A defense that gives Dak Prescott and the offense a chance. Right now, that isn't happening consistently enough. 3. JERRY JONES NEEDS TO MAKE A TRADE The NFL trade deadline is approaching, and Mike and Rudy believe Dallas should be actively shopping for defensive help. They discuss the Colts, Titans, and other struggling teams moving valuable players. According to the hosts' discussion, Indianapolis has already moved major pieces, while Tennessee has traded Jeffrey Simmons to Chicago. Mike believes Dallas should be making calls to every team willing to sell. Rudy agrees. The Cowboys' biggest need is obvious. They need a pass rusher. The question is whether Jerry Jones is willing to surrender the draft picks or players necessary to acquire one. Jerry has talked about potentially being a buyer. Mike wants to see action. 4. MAXX CROSBY COULD CHANGE EVERYTHING Mike brings up the possibility of the Cowboys acquiring Maxx Crosby from the Las Vegas Raiders. He doesn't believe the trade is likely. But he absolutely believes Crosby could change the defense. A legitimate edge rusher would force opponents to adjust their blocking schemes. That could create opportunities for other Dallas defenders. Mike argues that adding a player like Crosby would make the entire defensive front more effective. The Cowboys don't just need another body. They need somebody opposing offenses ...

  • CARDINALS vs COWBOYS | Instant Reaction & Post-Game Show | In the Shed

    CARDINALS vs COWBOYS | Instant Reaction & Post-Game Show | In the Shed
    Nov 1 2026

    The Dallas Cowboys found another way to embarrass themselves. After building a double-digit lead against the Arizona Cardinals, Dallas completely fell apart, allowing Gardner Minshew to lead a furious comeback before the Cardinals finished off a 33-30 overtime victory. Mike Taylor and Rudy Jay are furious, and this In the Shed instant reaction is one of their most heated Cowboys postgame shows yet.

    Mike calls out the Cowboys' losing culture, Jerry Jones' leadership, and Brian Schottenheimer's conservative play-calling when the game was on the line. Rudy questions Christian Parker's defense, the lack of accountability throughout the organization, and why Dallas still can't protect Dak Prescott against the blitz. The guys also debate whether the Cowboys should fire coaches, sell at the NFL trade deadline, or accept that another season is slipping away.

    Topics Covered:
    • Cowboys lose 33-30 in overtime: How Dallas let a double-digit lead disappear against Arizona.
    • Gardner Minshew's fourth-quarter takeover: The Cardinals backup quarterback torches the Cowboys defense during the comeback.
    • Brian Schottenheimer under fire: Mike and Rudy rip the conservative play-calling, clock management, and failed overtime possession.
    • Christian Parker's future: Is it time for Dallas to make a change at defensive coordinator?
    • Jerry Jones and Cowboys culture: Why the hosts believe Dallas has a deeper accountability and leadership problem.
    • Dak Prescott and offensive protection: The ongoing inability to recognize and pick up blitzes, plus Dallas going just 6-for-16 on third down.
    • CeeDee Lamb's comments about Arizona: The guys react to Lamb acknowledging that Dallas has failed to take the Cardinals seriously.
    • NFL trade deadline decisions: Should Dallas stop chasing defensive help, trade George Pickens, and start building for the future?
    Key Moments:
    1. Mike Taylor goes nuclear: Mike says he was glad the Cowboys lost because they didn't deserve to win after their late-game collapse.
    2. The fourth-quarter meltdown: Arizona scores 20 points in the fourth quarter, with Minshew throwing three touchdowns in the period, according to the stats discussed on the show.
    3. The coaching debate gets heated: Rudy argues that someone must be held accountable, while Mike questions whether Schottenheimer can handle being both head coach and offensive play-caller.
    4. The numbers tell the story: The guys compare Arizona's 467 total yards to Dallas' 261 and criticize the Cowboys for wasting their overtime opportunity.
    5. Time to sell at the deadline? Mike and Rudy discuss moving George Pickens, protecting future draft picks, and why trading for another defensive star might not fix Dallas' problems.
    Final Thoughts: This wasn't just another Cowboys loss. For Mike Taylor and Rudy Jay, the collapse against Arizona exposed everything they believe is wrong with Dallas: questionable coaching, poor situational football, a lack of toughness, and an organization that doesn't hold people accountable. With the trade deadline approaching, the biggest question isn't whether the Cowboys can still turn things around. It's whether Jerry Jones is willing to make the changes necessary.

    Jerry DEFENDS SCHOTTY for COWBOYS CLOWN SHOW | In the Building | EP. 671
    Nov 3 2026

    The Dallas Cowboys are 3-5 after blowing a double-digit lead to the Arizona Cardinals, and Jerry Jones isn't ready to pull the plug on Brian Schottenheimer. Mike Taylor and Rudy Jay tear into the Cowboys' coaching staff, questionable late-game decisions, lack of accountability, and an organizational culture they believe has reached rock bottom. From Schottenheimer's conservative play-calling to Christian Parker's struggling defense, the guys wonder how much worse things can get before somebody is held responsible.

    Meanwhile, Victor Wembanyama's appearance on 60 Minutes gives Spurs fans plenty to feel good about, especially his comments about San Antonio, personal growth, and learning from playoff adversity. The Spurs prepare for four games this week, the Texas Longhorns are dealing with a brutal injury situation, and Kirby Smart's comments about college football practice habits and NIL money spark a passionate debate. Plus, the NFL 2-Minute Drill covers Mike McCarthy, Lamar Jackson, the Broncos, and more. The show also celebrates a major milestone with Kalshi officially joining In the Building as presenting sponsor.

    • Cowboys coaching disaster: Mike and Rudy revisit the Arizona collapse, including Dallas gaining just 34 yards over its final 27 offensive plays.
    • Ben Johnson and the Cowboys: Reports that Johnson wasn't interested in the Dallas job, plus Mike's criticism of the team's coaching hires.
    • Victor Wembanyama on 60 Minutes: Wemby's thoughts on staying in San Antonio, improving after playoff struggles, American culture, and taking care of his body.
    • Spurs back in action: Utah, Dallas, Sacramento, and Portland are on the schedule, with postgame shows planned after the Mavericks and Trail Blazers games.
    • Texas Longhorns injury crisis: Trevor Goosby, Hollywood Smothers, Grayson Littleton, Kate Phillips, Cam Coleman, Ryan Wingo, and Colin Simmons are among the players discussed.

    Key Moments:
    1. The Cowboys rant continues: Mike calls Schottenheimer the worst head coach in Cowboys history and says the entire coaching staff is failing its players.
    2. Jerry refuses to hit the panic button: The guys react to Jones saying the organization let Schottenheimer down and debate why a coaching change seems unlikely.
    3. Wemby wins over the hosts: Rudy praises Wembanyama's accountability, maturity, and apparent commitment to San Antonio, while Mike appreciates his willingness to speak his mind.
    4. Kirby Smart sparks a bigger conversation: Mike and Rudy debate whether today's college football players are practicing less intensely, getting hurt more often, and responding differently to financial incentives.
    5. A major announcement for In the Building: Kalshi becomes the show's new presenting sponsor, and the guys celebrate another milestone for the podcast.
    Final Thoughts: EP. 671 is all about the difference between organizations that demand accountability and those that don't. Mike and Rudy see a Cowboys franchise stuck in the same cycle of mistakes, while Wembanyama and the Spurs offer a very different reason for San Antonio sports fans to be excited. Throw in the Longhorns' mounting injuries, Kirby Smart's concerns about college football, and another packed NFL weekend, and there's no shortage of strong opinions.

    WEMBY ON 60 MINUTES! NFL CTE SHOCKER & COLTS FIRE SALE | In the Building | EP. 670
    Oct 29 2026
    THE SPURS KEEP WINNING, THE NFL HAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM, AND ERNIE JOHNSON IS IRREPLACEABLE! Mike Taylor and Rudy Jay are back for Episode 670 of In the Building, broadcasting from the Texas Cheer Liquor Studios and dressed for Halloween week as the Men in Black. The San Antonio Spurs survive the Utah Jazz 117-111 in overtime for their third straight win. Victor Wembanyama is preparing for a major 60 Minutes interview, and Mitch Johnson admits he lost his composure during the final seconds of regulation. Meanwhile, Mike and Rudy continue questioning Luke Kornet's conditioning and demanding more opportunities for Terrace Reed and Carter Bryant. On the NFL side, the guys react to a reported study estimating that 75% of former NFL players who died between 2008 and 2023 had CTE. They discuss the long-term risks of football, whether kids should play tackle football, and why some players decide to retire early. PLUS, the Indianapolis Colts and Tennessee Titans are making major roster moves, Chicago reportedly lands Jeffrey Simmons, and Ernie Johnson's retirement plans leave the future of Inside the NBA in question. Then things go completely off the rails with Mantertainment News, a furious rant about San Antonio's Project Marvel, wrestling controversy, celebrity lawsuits, and a Throwback Thursday featuring Mike Taylor doing just about anything for $200. TOPICS COVERED: SPURS WIN THREE STRAIGHT: San Antonio survives Utah 117-111 in overtime.WEMBY ON 60 MINUTES: Victor Wembanyama reflects on his struggles against the New York Knicks in a preview of his upcoming interview.MITCH JOHNSON TAKES RESPONSIBILITY: The Spurs coach admits he should have called timeout at the end of regulation.LUKE KORNET'S STRUGGLES: Mike and Rudy question his conditioning while discussing Mitch Johnson's and Keldon Johnson's defense of the backup center.FREE TERRACE REED: Why the rookie big man deserves regular minutes.CARTER BRYANT'S DEVELOPMENT: The guys remain frustrated by the rookie's limited playing time.NFL CTE STUDY: A disturbing reported estimate leads to a serious discussion about concussions and player safety.YOUTH TACKLE FOOTBALL: Should children wait until high school before playing tackle football?COLTS AND TITANS FIRE SALES: NFL roster moves and the Bears' reported acquisition of Jeffrey Simmons.CAM WARD'S SITUATION: The hosts question whether Tennessee's organization is giving its quarterback enough help.ERNIE JOHNSON'S RETIREMENT: Can Inside the NBA survive without the man who keeps Shaq, Charles Barkley, and Kenny Smith together?PROJECT MARVEL CONTROVERSY: Mike unloads on San Antonio city leadership over reported changes to promised Alamodome and convention center improvements.MANTERTAINMENT NEWS: My Chemical Romance, Tyler Perry, Danny Masterson, and celebrity legal headlines.PEOPLE I WANT TO PUNCH: A Mexican wrestling controversy, Brewers manager Pat Murphy, and the city of San Antonio.THROWBACK THURSDAY: Mike revisits an old promotional appearance that proves he's always been willing to work for a paycheck.LOCAL SAN ANTONIO LIFE: The new Converse H-E-B, thrift shopping, Halloween plans, and the things people will wait in line for. KEY MOMENTS: 1. THE SPURS SURVIVE UTAH, BUT MITCH OWNS HIS MISTAKE The San Antonio Spurs beat the Utah Jazz 117-111 in overtime, and Mike and Rudy revisit the strange ending to regulation. The officials miss what the hosts believe was a clear shot clock violation. Mitch Johnson gets upset with the referees and fails to call timeout. The Spurs lose an opportunity to set up a better final possession. But Mike gives Mitch credit for what happens afterward. The coach publicly takes responsibility. Mitch admits he allowed his emotions to affect his decision-making, the same mistake he regularly warns his players against. Mike and Rudy appreciate the accountability. They also believe Victor Wembanyama, as the team's leader on the floor, could have recognized the situation and called timeout himself. 2. WEMBY OPENS UP ON 60 MINUTES Victor Wembanyama is getting the 60 Minutes treatment. Mike discusses a preview of the upcoming interview in which Wemby acknowledges that the New York Knicks exposed limitations in his game. Wembanyama reflects on trying to overpower New York rather than simply playing basketball. Mike appreciates the honesty. He believes the comments show that Wemby understands what went wrong and is willing to learn from the experience. The guys also love Wembanyama's pregame Tim Duncan shirt, although Mike jokes that Duncan probably wants absolutely nothing to do with being featured on somebody else's clothing. 3. LUKE KORNET IS GETTING DRAGGED AGAIN Mike and Rudy acknowledge that criticizing Luke Kornet has become a recurring feature of their Spurs postgame coverage. They believe Kornet looks tired and isn't playing at the level they expected. But they also discuss Mitch Johnson's defense of his backup center. Mitch argues that Kornet's struggles aren't solely his responsibility ...

    WEMBY DROPS 36! SPURS SURVIVE JAZZ IN OT & MITCH'S ROTATIONS GET HEAT | In the Building Spurs Postgame
    Oct 29 2026
    THREE STRAIGHT WINS! BUT MAN, THAT WAS UGLY! The San Antonio Spurs escape Salt Lake City with a 117-111 overtime victory over the Utah Jazz, and Mike Taylor and Rudy Jay have plenty to say about how it happened. Victor Wembanyama delivers another monster performance with 36 points, 14 rebounds, and 5 assists. The Spurs survive a blown fourth-quarter lead, questionable officiating, and some ugly late-game execution before finally putting Utah away in overtime. It's the second night of a back-to-back, and the Spurs are clearly feeling the effects of travel and fatigue. But a win is a win. And San Antonio has now won three straight. Still, Mike and Rudy aren't letting Mitch Johnson, Luke Kornet, or the Spurs' half-court offense off the hook. Why did Mitch hold onto his timeout at the end of regulation? Why is Terrace Reed sitting while Kornet struggles? And how does Carter Bryant fit into a rotation that suddenly looks more like the NBA playoffs than the fifth game of the season? PLUS, the guys discuss Stephon Castle's offensive limitations, Utah's young talent, the growing NBA injury list, and the Dallas Mavericks crushing the Oklahoma City Thunder. TOPICS COVERED: SPURS BEAT JAZZ 117-111 IN OVERTIME: San Antonio survives an ugly road game and wins its third straight.VICTOR WEMBANYAMA DOMINATES: Wemby finishes with 36 points, 14 rebounds, and 5 assists.MITCH JOHNSON'S LATE-GAME DECISIONS: Why didn't the Spurs call timeout at the end of regulation?CONTROVERSIAL SHOT CLOCK SEQUENCE: Mike and Rudy question the officiating and Tony Brothers' handling of a possible Utah violation.SPURS FOURTH-QUARTER COLLAPSE: San Antonio nearly gives away a game it appeared to have under control.LUKE KORNET STRUGGLES: The guys question Kornet's conditioning, production, and place in the rotation.FREE TERRACE REED: Why Mike and Rudy want the rookie big man to get an opportunity.CARTER BRYANT'S LIMITED MINUTES: Bryant plays just five minutes as Mitch tightens the rotation.STEVPHON CASTLE'S SCOUTING REPORT: Opponents know Castle wants to attack the basket. Can he develop more counters?DYLAN HARPER AND DE'AARON FOX: The guards help San Antonio raise its defensive intensity in overtime.DEVIN VASSELL'S FOURTH-QUARTER OFFENSE: Mitch repeatedly goes to Vassell on a successful action.KEONTE GEORGE IMPRESSES: Utah's young guard gives the Spurs problems.NBA INJURY CONCERNS: The hosts discuss the growing number of injured players and changes to modern training camps.MAVERICKS DESTROY THUNDER: Dallas beats Oklahoma City 120-96.SPURS SCHEDULE: San Antonio gets a break before facing Minnesota and another matchup with Utah. KEY MOMENTS: 1. SPURS SURVIVE THE JAZZ IN OVERTIME The Spurs win 117-111, but it takes a whole lot more effort than Mike and Rudy expected. San Antonio is playing its second game in two nights after beating Sacramento, while Utah comes in rested. The Spurs establish a lead late in regulation but fail to close things out. Then overtime arrives. And everything changes. Mike and Rudy love the defensive intensity San Antonio brings in the extra period. The Jazz start forcing difficult shots, and the Spurs finally take control. Rudy points out that although San Antonio is young, its players have more experience in these pressure situations than Utah. The Spurs survive. Three straight wins. And sometimes that's all that matters. 2. VICTOR WEMBANYAMA IS THE FRANCHISE Victor Wembanyama finishes with: 36 points14 rebounds5 assists25 field-goal attempts Mike and Rudy agree on one thing. The Spurs are a better team when Wemby gets the most shots. He was terrific through the first three quarters, although the guys notice that he becomes less involved offensively during the fourth. Rudy believes Wembanyama should be the clear focal point of the offense every night. He's the franchise player. He's one of the best players in basketball. And when San Antonio gives him enough opportunities, good things tend to happen. 3. MITCH JOHNSON SHOULD HAVE CALLED TIMEOUT The end of regulation gets ugly. Mike believes Utah commits a shot clock violation that should have given San Antonio a better opportunity to set up a final possession. Instead, the officials allow play to continue. Mitch Johnson is furious with Tony Brothers. But Mike and Rudy question why the Spurs coach doesn't call a timeout. De'Aaron Fox ends up taking a desperate, awkward shot. The game goes to overtime. And the guys are left wondering why San Antonio didn't organize a better final possession. Rudy gives Mitch credit for repeatedly calling offensive plays for Devin Vassell earlier in the fourth quarter. But the final sequence? Not his best moment. 4. MITCH GOES WITH A PLAYOFF ROTATION Five games into the season, Mitch Johnson is already tightening things up. Only nine Spurs see the floor. And Carter Bryant plays just five minutes. Mike and Rudy describe it as a playoff-style rotation. Julian Champagnie plays 31 minutes, while Luke Kornet gets 14. Terrace Reed doesn't play at...

    SPURS COMMIT REGICIDE! Aikman to Cowboys?! & FREE CARTER BRYANT | In the Building | EP. 669
    Oct 28 2026
    THE SPURS KILLED THE KINGS, BUT MIKE TAYLOR STILL WANTS SOMEBODY FREED! Welcome to Episode 669 of In the Building with Mike Taylor and Rudy Jay, live from the Texas Cheer Liquor Studios! The San Antonio Spurs absolutely dismantle the Sacramento Kings 130-103, but the biggest conversation the next morning isn't about the blowout. It's about Carter Bryant. Mike believes the talented rookie is getting buried in Mitch Johnson's rotation, and he's reached the point where he'd rather see Bryant traded than watch his development stall. Meanwhile, Jerry Jones leaves the door open for Troy Aikman to return to the Dallas Cowboys in some capacity. Mike isn't buying it. He's also furious with Joe Buck over how Aikman's broadcasting contract situation has unfolded. PLUS, Justin Tucker signs with the Kansas City Chiefs' practice squad, Texas football faces another major injury, and People I Want to Punch takes on athletes getting involved in politics. And because it's Halloween week, Mike brings serial killer talk to the show, including a new development in the Ted Bundy case. All that, Whatcha Watching Wednesday, the LT Electric Slide, and plenty of chaos from the ITB crew. TOPICS COVERED: SPURS COMMIT REGICIDE: San Antonio destroys Sacramento 130-103, and Mike wants the Kings renamed the Jokers.FREE CARTER BRYANT: Why Mike believes the Spurs should trade their talented rookie if Mitch Johnson won't give him meaningful minutes.MITCH JOHNSON'S ROTATIONS: Is the Spurs' crowded roster preventing young players from developing?SPURS vs. UTAH JAZZ: San Antonio heads to Salt Lake City for the second night of a back-to-back.TROY AIKMAN TO THE COWBOYS?: Jerry Jones says a future role is possible, but Mike thinks there's almost no chance of it happening.JOE BUCK GETS PUNCHED: Mike questions how Buck handled his contract situation with longtime broadcasting partner Troy Aikman.JUSTIN TUCKER SIGNS WITH THE CHIEFS: The guys react to Kansas City's decision to add the former Ravens kicker to its practice squad.TEXAS LONGHORNS INJURY TROUBLE: Trevor Goosby's knee injury creates another problem for an already struggling offensive line.MISSISSIPPI STATE vs. TEXAS: The guys discuss the upcoming matchup and Mississippi State quarterback Kamario Taylor's reported injury.ATHLETES AND POLITICS: Colt McCoy, Johnny Manziel, Danny Amendola, and Nicki Minaj become part of People I Want to Punch.TED BUNDY AND COLD CASES: Mike discusses a reported DNA development in a decades-old Utah murder investigation.WHATCHA WATCHING WEDNESDAY: Mike Tyson, Elizabeth Holmes, Nathan Fielder, and one very uncomfortable movie theater experience.THE LAST ISSUE: Mike highlights a local documentary about the closing of San Antonio's La Prensa newspaper.LT ELECTRIC SLIDE: Shaving eyebrows for money, favorite ice cream flavors, and whether Mexico City should get an NBA franchise.DEZ BRYANT VIDEO: The crew revisits Dez's confrontation with a group of young men and why Mike thinks he should have walked away. KEY MOMENTS: 1. SPURS COMMIT REGICIDE AGAINST SACRAMENTO The San Antonio Spurs beat the Sacramento Kings 130-103, and Mike Taylor has a new word for everybody. REGICIDE. The killing of a king. And after what San Antonio did to Sacramento, Mike thinks the Kings should probably find another nickname. He and Rudy don't have much respect for Sacramento's current direction, questioning the franchise's ownership and its ability to build a winning organization. The Spurs take care of business, but the guys don't spend much time celebrating. There's a bigger issue on Mike's mind. 2. FREE CARTER BRYANT! Mike wants the Spurs to trade Carter Bryant. Not because he thinks Bryant is a bad player. Quite the opposite. Mike believes Bryant is one of the most athletic players on the roster, a talented defender, and a young prospect with legitimate shooting potential. The problem? He isn't playing enough. Mike argues that Mitch Johnson has created an environment where Bryant looks nervous about making mistakes. He believes the rookie is thinking too much instead of playing instinctively. And with a crowded rotation that includes established veterans, Mike doesn't see a clear path to meaningful minutes. His argument is simple: If the Spurs aren't going to develop Carter Bryant, let somebody else do it. Rudy agrees that the roster creates a difficult situation for the rookie. The guys also compare Bryant's development concerns with how Jeremy Sochan was handled in San Antonio. Is Bryant already falling into the same trap? 3. COULD TROY AIKMAN RETURN TO THE DALLAS COWBOYS? Jerry Jones was asked about the possibility of Troy Aikman joining the Cowboys organization in a front-office role. Jerry had plenty of positive things to say about his former quarterback and didn't completely rule out the possibility. Mike isn't buying any of it. He believes Aikman and Jones are too different to work together in a meaningful football operations role. Why? Because Troy would probably tell Jerry ...

    KINGS vs SPURS: Instant Reaction & Post-Game Show | In the Building
    Oct 28 2026
    THE SAN ANTONIO SPURS ARE BACK IN THE WIN COLUMN! Victor Wembanyama dominates, Julian Champagnie catches fire from three, and the Spurs absolutely destroy the Sacramento Kings 130-103! Mike Taylor and Rudy Jay are LIVE with instant reactions on In the Building Spurs Edition, presented by Game Day Men's Health Alamo Ranch. After a frustrating start to the season, San Antonio delivers the kind of performance fans have been waiting for. Wemby takes over early, Champagnie erupts for eight three-pointers off the bench, and Mitch Johnson gets an opportunity to experiment with his rotations while resting key players ahead of another game tomorrow night. But even after a 27-point win, Mike and Rudy still have questions. Should De'Aaron Fox be coming off the bench? Is Julian Champagnie better suited as a sixth man or a starter? Why isn't Terrace Reed getting more meaningful minutes? And what happens to Carter Bryant when this roster gets healthy? The Spurs improve to 2-2, but figuring out this lineup might be the biggest challenge of the early season. TOPICS COVERED: SPURS BEAT KINGS 130-103: San Antonio dominates Sacramento and gets back to .500.VICTOR WEMBANYAMA TAKES OVER: Wemby controls the game on offense and defense.JULIAN CHAMPAGNIE GOES OFF: Eight three-pointers on 13 attempts and a huge performance off the bench.DE'AARON FOX TO THE BENCH?: Rudy makes the case for using Fox as the Spurs' sixth man.TERRACE REED DESERVES MORE MINUTES: The rookie continues making an impression in limited playing time.LUKE KORNET'S ROLE: Mike and Rudy question whether Reed should start taking some of Kornet's minutes.MITCH JOHNSON'S ROTATIONS: The Spurs are still experimenting with their starting lineup and bench combinations.DYLAN HARPER AND STEPHON CASTLE: How do the young guards fit alongside Fox and Wembanyama?CARTER BRYANT'S DEVELOPMENT: Is there enough room in the rotation for the rookie to grow?SPURS BENCH DEPTH: What happens when the injured players return?SPURS vs. JAZZ PREVIEW: San Antonio heads to Utah for the second night of a back-to-back.NBA INJURY NEWS: The guys discuss reported injuries involving Anthony Edwards, Kawhi Leonard, Jaren Jackson Jr., and Lauri Markkanen. KEY MOMENTS: 1. SPURS CRUSH THE KINGS 130-103 Mike and Rudy finally get to celebrate a convincing Spurs victory on a postgame show! San Antonio controls the matchup, builds a comfortable lead, and never gives Sacramento much of a chance. The Spurs improve to 2-2, and the guys are happy to see a complete performance after the early-season frustrations against Oklahoma City and Houston. Rudy points out that blowouts like this serve a purpose beyond the final score. Mitch Johnson gets to experiment with lineups, evaluate different combinations, and give important players some rest before the next game. And with the Spurs traveling to Utah immediately afterward, that rest matters. 2. JULIAN CHAMPAGNIE CATCHES FIRE FROM THREE Julian Champagnie is the story of the night. He knocks down eight of his 13 three-point attempts and gives the Spurs a massive offensive spark off the bench. Mike and Rudy remember watching Champagnie's 11-three-pointer performance against the New York Knicks on New Year's Eve. They believe he might have put up even bigger numbers against Sacramento if the game had remained competitive. But the bigger conversation is about his role. Champagnie has been adjusting to coming off the bench after spending time as a starter. If he can consistently provide instant offense as a reserve, Mike believes he could become a major piece of the Spurs' second unit. Rudy isn't convinced the current starting lineup is settled, though. He still sees reasons to put Champagnie back with the starters. 3. WEMBY DOMINATES WITHOUT DOING TOO MUCH Victor Wembanyama is terrific against Sacramento. He controls the paint, finishes lobs, creates offensive opportunities, and makes life miserable for the Kings defensively. But Rudy notices something particularly important. Wemby isn't jumping at every shot fake. Instead, he's staying disciplined, using his height and positioning, and forcing opponents to shoot over him. Mike compares some of that defensive positioning to Tim Duncan. The guys agree Wembanyama doesn't need to chase spectacular blocks on every possession. Sometimes standing tall and playing smart defense is more effective. And after a few rough outings, the hosts remind everybody that one bad game shouldn't become a referendum on Wemby's entire career. 4. SHOULD DE'AARON FOX COME OFF THE BENCH? Rudy makes one of the night's biggest arguments. He believes De'Aaron Fox could be more valuable to the Spurs as a sixth man. Not because Fox isn't talented. Not because Fox isn't worth his contract. But because the starting lineup has too many players competing for the same offensive opportunities. Rudy points out that Fox attempted only six shots against Houston and 11 against both Dallas and Sacramento. He believes a player with Fox's speed, scoring ...

Welcome to Episode 668 of In the Building with Mike Taylor and Rudy Jay, live from the Texas Cheer Liquor Studios! It's Ass Whip Tuesday, and Mike has plenty to complain about even after a Cowboys victory.

KEY MOMENTS: 1. DEVIN VASSELL SAYS THE SPURS NEED TO BECOME HUNTERS AGAIN Mike believes Devin Vassell has been listening to In the Building. Why? Because Vassell is saying exactly what Mike has been arguing about the Spurs. After a rough opening stretch, Vassell says San Antonio needs to stop being comfortable with last season's success and regain its mentality. His message: The Spurs have become the hunted, and they need to become the hunters again. Mike agrees that opponents are approaching San Antonio differently now. Teams know the Spurs are talented, and they're no longer catching anybody by surprise. Julian Champagnie also emphasizes player accountability, arguing that the coaches aren't the ones on the court. Mike likes hearing the veterans speak up, but he still believes Mitch Johnson deserves scrutiny for some of his rotation decisions. 2. SPURS GAMEDAY: SACRAMENTO KINGS COMING TO TOWN The Spurs face the Sacramento Kings, and Mike and Rudy expect San Antonio to take care of business. They discuss Sacramento's roster, including Domantas Sabonis and Zach LaVine, while looking ahead to the matchup involving Dylan Harper and the Spurs' young players. Mike wants to see better effort, more accountability, and improved rotations. The guys also announce another In the Building Spurs postgame show immediately after the game, presented by Game Day Men's Health Alamo Ranch. 3. BRIAN SCHOTTENHEIMER CAN'T EVEN LET MIKE ENJOY A WIN The Cowboys beat Philadelphia, and Mike gave Brian Schottenheimer credit for the victory. Then Mike watched the postgame press conference. Big mistake. Mike can't stand Schottenheimer's attitude toward the media or what he considers an overly performative locker room speech. He especially questions the decision to award defensive coordinator Christian Parker a game ball instead of highlighting Dak Prescott, DeMarvion Overshown, Javonte Williams, or the offensive line. Mike even compares Schottenheimer to a human version of the Cowboys mascot, Rowdy. Rudy reminds him that he could simply stop watching the press conferences. Mike isn't interested in that solution. 4. DAK SAYS THE NFC EAST IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE COWBOYS Dak Prescott believes Dallas is still in the division race. Mike and Rudy agree the Cowboys have an opportunity, but they aren't convinced the organization can take advantage of it. Mike is ...
