Rangers' pitching, Astros' disassembling and a Luka mural in LA Feb 19, 2025

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington and Evan Grant discuss [1:50] the Rangers' pitching situation early in camp as Jacob deGrom wows observers. Kevin says he's never seen any pitcher throw harder or with better command with such little ramp-up from inactivity. Basically, if he's healthy, he's great. Evan breaks down the reunion of Rangers relievers and what it means. The guys also analyze Alex Bregman's deal with the Red Sox and how the Astros are hastening the end of their dynasty because Jim Crane doesn't want to pay taxes on it. [33:00] Kevin notes that LA has already embraced its newest celebrity with a mural of Luka Doncic shaking hands with Kobe Bryant. What were the Mavs thinking? Kevin tries to explain.

Super Bowl recap, more Luka and AD, plus a Rangers spring preview Feb 12, 2025

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington and Evan Grant discuss [1:50] a lousy Super Bowl and how the Eagles made the Chiefs look so bad. Kevin says the real MVP was Howie Roseman, the Eagles' GM, who’s won two Lombardi Trophies with two head coaches and two quarterbacks. [16:52] Evan still can’t wrap his head around the fact that Nico Harrison traded a 25-year-old superstar, and Kevin notes that Anthony Davis has missed more games than Luka Doncic over the last seven seasons. [30:32] And Kevin peppers Evan with a few questions about the Rangers going into spring training.

Mavs and Luka ... what the heck? Plus, Super Bowl and Rangers talk Feb 05, 2025

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington and Evan Grant discuss [3:15] the most shocking trade in Dallas sports history, from what made Nico Harrison think trading Luka Doncic was a good idea to the flawed process that brought such a meager return. The only way for Nico to make up for it, Kevin says, is to win it all now. And maybe a couple more times. [51:08] Evan goes over what he expects from the Rangers as spring training commences. [34:05] And the guys make their Super Bowl picks.

Schotty’s Cowboys, Rangers TV and what will the Mavs do? Jan 29, 2025

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and David Moore discuss [1:05] the hiring of Brian Schottenheimer as the Cowboys’ 10th all-time head coach. David outlines the inner workings and how much of this was Stephen Jones’ call and how much was Jerry’s. [31:09] Evan gives us the latest on the Rangers’ new TV package and what it means in reaching 16 million potential viewers over a five-state area, increasing their market dramatically. [46:15] Kevin says the Mavs’ roster is the most complete they’ve ever had, but injuries mean they should add a center at the trade deadline coming up.

Cowboys on hold as Jerry dithers, Buckeyes win CFP, Luka deals with injuries Jan 22, 2025

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and David Moore discuss [3:17] the protracted nature of the Cowboys’ coaching search as top candidates are hired elsewhere. Could it lead Jerry Jones to make a big splash with Deion Sanders? Is Kliff Kingsbury still in play? David tells us that Jerry has gone to the bunker to figure out his next move. [36:55] The guys talk about Ohio State’s win over Notre Dame in the national championship game and the favorite going into next season (Hint: Based in Austin). Kevin and David look at Luka Doncic’s injury and whether better conditioning could help him stave off some of them. And Evan tells us what’s up with Kirby Yates (gone to the Dodgers) and the new Victory+ streaming platform and what it means for Rangers fans.

Mike McCarthy’s exit, Cowboys’ candidates (Deion? Pete?) and Texas’ play calling Jan 15, 2025

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and David Moore discuss [4:28] the split between Mike McCarthy and the Cowboys and how much Jerry Jones’, uh, frugality had to do with it. David says he thinks the call between Jerry and Deion Sanders was a smokescreen designed to give both a little publicity and Deion some leverage in contract talks at Colorado. The guys also offer their favorites for the job. (Hint: David wins with a nomination of Pete Carroll). [35:50] Discussion of Texas’ loss to Ohio State in the Cotton Bowl focuses on Quinn Ewers’ fumble and Steve Sarkisian’s call for a sideways run on the goal line. And Evan tells us why Roki Sasaki won’t be a Ranger.

Mike McCarthy’s status, NFL draft talk, Cotton Bowl and hurtin’ Mavs Jan 08, 2025

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington and David Moore discuss [3:12] Mike McCarthy's status and the odds that he'll be back as the Cowboys' head coach. David notes that they might have gotten a little arrogant thinking that Tyler Guyton could duplicate what Tyler Smith did before him, and the mistakes made overall in the last two drafts impacted this disappointing season. [29:55] Kevin says Texas will have to play its best game of the season to beat Ohio State in the Cotton Bowl semifinals, which might be the actual championship game. [42:57] The guys also discuss what impact the Mavs' injuries will have on the trade deadline and whether it'll be a problem heading toward the playoffs.

Texas and SMU football, Rangers moves and why are the Cowboys winning now? Dec 18, 2024

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and David Moore discuss [4:27] the Cowboys’ third win in their last four games, even if it was just Carolina. David says it’s probably not enough to save Mike McCarthy’s job, but, with Bill Belichick off the market, the list of successors becomes problematic. [27:45] The guys make their CFP predictions about SMU (gonna be cold up there in Happy Valley) and Texas (hard to beat at home unless you’re Georgia). [48:49] Chris Young gets kudos for his excellent winter meetings performance, and Kevin tries to wish everyone well in the last podcast of 2024 but gets cut off by Evan, as usual.

Cowboys blunders, Troy’s wonders and Texas, SMU title hopes Dec 11, 2024

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington and Evan Grant [1:11] discuss the latest Cowboy catastrophe in a season chock full of them. More bad news: DeMarvion Overshown, the brightest light of a dim bulb of a Cowboys season, is out for who knows how long with another major knee injury. Kevin and Evan discuss Troy Aikman’s assertion that, short of Bill Belichick, no candidate for coach would be more qualified than Mike McCarthy. Can Jerry Jones really sell that to an angry fan base? [26:03] The guys also analyze what went wrong for Texas and SMU in their league title games and what their chances are going into first-round games next week.

Texas, SMU title hopes and what’s the ceiling for the Cowboys? Dec 04, 2024

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and David Moore talk football, football and more football. [4:27] Kevin says Texas may be ready for Georgia in the rematch in Atlanta because of its improved running game, and Evan makes the case that SMU should make the College Football Playoff even if it loses to Clemson in the ACC title game. [25:16] David spells out a scenario in which the Cowboys could possibly make the playoffs. The guys are unanimous that it would be a bad idea. And they reveal how many of the Cowboys' remaining five games look winnable as starters return from injuries.
