[0:40] Kevin kicks it off by detailing his Nos. 10-6 stories and [9:32] Evan offers his disagreements. [18:28] The crew then trades spots and Evan provides his Nos. 5-2 while Kevin counters.

Measuring Cowboys’ ceiling, Rangers’ pitching and what’s on TV Dec 20, 2023

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and David Moore discuss [4:10] the Cowboys’ brutal loss in Buffalo and what it says about their chances in the postseason. Kevin says their admitted poor reaction to personal fouls suggests a lack of mental toughness. David says there’s nothing to suggest they will be better on the road from here on out, because all four losses have come on the road. Unless they end up playing the Eagles in Philly, that is. [26:59] Kevin and Evan debate the pitching moves the Rangers continue to make and whether they’ll have enough before the cavalry arrives at the trade deadline. The guys also try to make sense of TV strife and the impact it’ll have on viewers as well as the Rangers.

[20:20] Evan tells us why the Rangers won’t spend until the trade deadline, if then, and [40:00] the guys debate the merits of the CFP committee after it left out undefeated Florida State. Kevin gives us his thoughts on Texas’ chances in the tournament.

[25:03] Evan lays out the case for Adrian Beltre to be a first ballot Hall of Famer. [46:14] Kevin analyzes the opening at Texas A&M and why the Aggies need to worry about a good football coach first and a cultural fit second.

[25:11] Evan outlines the Rangers’ roster questions and what it feels like to cover a world champ. And [45:50] Kevin lays out the surreal saga of Jimbo Fisher and his high-paying exit from Texas A&M.

The guys marvel over the Rangers’ ability to turn their regular-season weaknesses — bullpen and road issues — into strengths in the playoffs. Kevin says the difference between this World Series team and the Rangers’ previous iterations was the World Series experience of Corey Seager, Nathan Eovaldi and, specifically, Bruce Bochy. Evan outlines the next steps for the Rangers and [45:40] David tells us why the Mavs are off to such a good start.

Also, will Max Scherzer and Adolis Garcia be available for the rest of the series? If not, who replaces them? [27:35] David gives a master’s class in the Cowboys’ offense, detailing down to the second what happens and how Dak Prescott adjusts to it. Kevin says the Eagles have done just enough to win games, and David notes that this will be only the second time Dak and Jalen Hurts have gone head-to-head in a burgeoning rivalry. [49:00] And before they hit the door, Kevin and David discuss the impact rookie Dereck Lively II has already made on the Mavs.

[31:11] Kevin says Houston’s a baseball town now, but the Cowboys will keep that from happening in Dallas-Fort Worth. David said Jerry Jones better worry about the Rangers’ ability to at least chip away at the Cowboys’ lead. The guys discuss bad losses in the NFL and where the Cowboys rank coming off the bye week and also talk [55:28] about the prospects for the Mavs and Stars as their seasons crank up.

Rangers two wins from World Series and Cowboys back from the dead Oct 17, 2023

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, David Moore and Evan Grant [3:41] discuss a big weekend for Dallas sports fans, starting with the Rangers’ 2-0 lead over the Astros in the ALCS. Evan goes over all the numbers demonstrating the difficult road ahead for Houston, while Kevin says the key from here on out is if the Rangers’ bullpen can at least hold serve with the Astros’. [30:38] David notes the Cowboys responded well from a humiliating defeat at the hands of the 49ers, beating the Chargers, 20-17, on the road. The bye week comes at a good time, with the Rams up next to set up a critical meeting with the Eagles, losers to the Jets, of all teams.
