Cowboys debacle, Rangers rotation and Texas is back ... to No. 1 Sep 18, 2024

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and David Moore discuss the big topics in North Texas sports, starting with the [5:50] Cowboys’ flop against New Orleans. The identity of this team, David says, is that if things are going well, it snowballs. Same when it’s going bad. Even so, Kevin says he expects the Cowboys to bounce back against Lamar Jackson and the Ravens based on how they defensed Deshaun Watson and the Browns. [24:07] Evan lays out a potential starting rotation for the Rangers next spring based on the encouraging performances of Kumar Rocker and Jacob deGrom last week. [40:00] Texas is back to No. 1 for the first time since 2008, only this time with two capable quarterbacks in Quinn Ewers and Arch Manning. No QB controversy, Kevin says. This is still Ewers’ team when he’s healthy.

Cowboys, Longhorns dominance, Kumar Rocker coming on and was Jerry really right? Sep 11, 2024

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and David Moore discuss [1:02] the Cowboys’ surprisingly dominant win over Cleveland in the opener. David and Kevin discuss the spectacular play of second-year LB DeMarvion Overshown, employed as a “spy” on Deshaun Watson, and David adds that the four rookie starters were key to the win. The Cowboys’ play forces Kevin to ask the painful question: Could Jerry Jones actually be right about how good this team is? [20:49] Evan breaks down Kumar Rocker’s phenomenal numbers in the minors and what his start this week against Seattle could mean for the Rangers going into next season.

Rangers’ future, Cowboys’ present and Texas at the Big House Sep 03, 2024

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and David Moore discuss the state of North Texas’ biggest sports stories. Kevin and Evan analyze [7:10] the biggest weaknesses in the Rangers’ lineup and whether Ray Davis is willing to spend to fix it. But before he does that, he’s first got to re-sign his general manager and maybe his manager, too. Does winning outweigh the bottom line with Davis? David goes over [27:49] the Cowboys’ starting lineup for the opener against Cleveland and tells us the impact of Dalvin Cook’s signing on the rest of the running backs. [50:24] The guys talk about Texas A&M’s status as an underachiever in football, and what beating Michigan could do for Texas this week.

Cowboys dithering, Rangers cratering and a new day in college football Aug 28, 2024

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington and David Moore discuss [1:11] the Cowboys’ inability to get anything done in a timely manner, and not just the fact that CeeDee Lamb’s contract is pretty much the same one predicted months ago. Four starters in the Cowboys’ front nine on defense have been signed within the last two weeks. And they may still be shopping for a starting running back. [26:42] Meanwhile, the Rangers’ fall from last year’s World Series title practically requires parachutes. But college football is here, [37:14] with a new 12-team playoff and new alliances, and the Aggies have a chance to make a splash if they can beat Notre Dame this week in College Station.

How Rangers can win AL West, Cowboys’ camp highlights, top Olympic moments Aug 06, 2024

Show notes

Evan also outlines his five-step process for the Rangers to take charge of the AL West. David Moore checks in [17:35] from Cowboys training camp, where things are about to heat up, and takes note of players who are turning heads at camp. Lastly, the guys share [29:02] their favorite moments thus far from the Paris Olympics.

Cowboys training camp update, thoughts on a Rangers’ potential AL West run Jul 31, 2024

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders David Moore and Evan Grant discuss [2:30] Cowboys training camp after the first week. Checking in from Oxnard, Calif., David provides updates on the injury to defensive end Sam Williams, the contract negotiations for CeeDee Lamb and Dak Prescott, plus other offseason developments. Evan Grant [21:20] checks in on the Rangers from St. Louis, where they are trying to gain ground on the Astros and Mariners in the AL West. With the trade deadline approaching at the time of taping, Evan speculates on how potential moves could bolster the Rangers’ chances this season.

Rangers’ trade deadline status, Klay Thompson's impact on Mavericks, and a very Texan All-Star Game Jul 18, 2024

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington and Evan Grant discuss [00:52] how the Rangers and MLB pulled off the second All-Star Game in franchise history . Everything was aces, they said, except maybe major professional sports leagues could give the cowboy theme a rest when putting on a show locally. [14:23] Evan also tells us that, even though the Rangers are just five games out, Chris Young still has two weeks to decide if they’ll be buyers or sellers or stand pat. [24:53] Kevin tells us that Klay Thompson gives the Mavs a new look and an upgrade in shooting. But will the change in personnel affect chemistry on defense, the Mavs’ calling card this year?

Mavs’ dream ends, Rangers nightmare continues and adieu, Willie Mays Jun 20, 2024

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, David Moore and Evan Grant [00:40] analyze the end of the Mavs’ stunning season. David notes there’s no shame in losing to the Celtics, a different kind of champion. The guys discuss what the Mavs need to do this offseason and how much they need to and bemoan the criticism of Luka Doncic. [27:25] Evan looks up the numbers to tell us just how bad Adolis Garcia is going, and Kevin wonders if that’s at the heart of the Rangers’ offensive woes. [49:32] Bryson DeChambeau has made himself into the most popular player in golf just by having a personality, a stunner, but not as stunning as the passing of Willie Mays, the greatest player left from the golden age of baseball.

Frustration with Cowboys, Mavericks slumping and a lone Ranger for All-Star Game? Jun 12, 2024

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and David Moore open [00:25] the discussion by noting that, in David’s time covering the Cowboys, he’s never seen fan angst at a higher level. Could frustration over playoff losses combined with an inactive offseason be exacerbated by the success of the Rangers, Stars and Mavs? Has the bar been raised across the board? [3:45] Kevin and David analyze why the Mavs have lost two games in a row for the first time in the playoffs and what they can do to at least avoid what David calls a “gentleman’s sweep” of five games and out. [23:32] Evan projects maybe just one Ranger on the All-Star team at Globe Life Field and says the next two weeks will determine if they’re buyers at the trade deadline.

Luka's rising star, Rangers' spiral and expensive Cowboys Jun 06, 2024

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, David Moore and Evan Grant discuss the big topics, [6:40] starting with the Mavs' first finals run in 13 years. Luka Doncic is the biggest star between the Mavs and Celtics, Kevin says, and Kyrie Irving might be the second-best. David contends that Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown may use that sentiment as motivation. [19:10] Evan takes a deep dive on why the Rangers can't hit and more bad news about Evan Carter. [30:49] Kevin and David debate the leadership skills of Micah Parsons and wonder what the Cowboys' salary cap will look like when Dak Prescott, Ceedee Lamb and Parsons are all signed up.
