[3:15] Each of our insiders picks a player for the Cowboys, with David ranging widest. [25:13] Evan describes the implosion in the back of the Rangers’ bullpen.

Mavs sink, Rangers rise and who might the Cowboys pick at 26? Apr 12, 2023

Show notes

David wonders if the commissioner could take away the Mavs’ hard-earned first-round pick as a penalty for tanking. Evan says the Kyrie Irving deal blew up in the Mavs’ faces because they didn’t win in a weakened West. [22:35] Kevin says the fact that Jake Odorizzi is out for the season and no one’s hardly noticed says everything about the job Chris Young did putting this Rangers roster together. Evan wants to see the guys down on the farm ready to jump in for spot starts this summer, and they’re not off to good starts. [44:48] David breaks down some of the top prospects and the Cowboys’ potential interest come the NFL draft at the end of this month. And, if Bijan Robinson is available at 26, the guys say the Cowboys should take him. Take that, Tim Cowlishaw!

Mavs’ misery, Rangers’ rise, Cowboys’ line and we see you, Angel Reese Apr 05, 2023

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and David Moore lead off a chock-full podcast with the Mavs’ predicament this week: Go all out for a scant chance of making the playoffs, or tank to keep their first-round pick? David argues that an MVP candidate should never agree to tanking. Kevin prefers any chance at all at Victor Wembanyama over a botched playoff bid. [18:15] The guys discuss the remarkable women’s championship game at American Airlines Center and the controversy over Angel Reese’s dis of Caitlin Clark in the waning moments of LSU’s historic victory.

Show notes

Excitement building for Rangers, Cowboys. The Mavs? Not so much Mar 22, 2023

Show notes

With Kevin Sherrington on vacation, [2:00] Evan Grant and David Moore have a nice relaxed visit to break down what the Rangers still have to answer in the final days of spring training, what’s gone right in Arizona and how excited the World Baseball Classic has left us. Speaking of excited, [19:40] we dive into something completely foreign: The Cowboys giving fans hope with their moves in free agency and the trade market. We ponder Zeke Elliott’s legacy in Dallas and whether his performance declined or the running back position changed on him. And finally, [35:50] we stop everything down to consider the relative level of excitement the Mavs are generating these days. Well, two out of three wasn’t bad.

A deep dive on the Cowboys and Rangers rosters, and a white flag for the Mavs Mar 15, 2023

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, David Moore and Evan Grant look at the rosters of the Cowboys and Rangers and where both clubs go from here. [4:00] Evan says only a handful of questions remain about the Rangers’ roster with two weeks left in spring training. Jacob deGrom’s debut Monday calmed Rangers fans and excited Rangers teammates and officials. [ 31:59] David says the Cowboys need a veteran wide receiver, but not Odell Beckham Jr. at $20 million a year. And he won’t get that money anywhere, David says. [50:37] And Kevin sends up his white flag for the Mavs. Because Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic have played so little together and the team has lost last year’s chemistry, neither Kevin nor David likes their playoff chances.

Rangers’ roster moves, Cowboys in free agency and Luka Doncic’s technical fouls Mar 08, 2023

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, David Moore and Evan Grant discuss the big topics of the day, [3:42] starting with what the Rangers do in the outfield now that everything else seems pretty much wrapped up. Kevin thinks Adolis Garcia would be a nice temporary fit in center if the Rangers decide to keep Clint Frazier. Evan explains the pluses and pitfalls of it all. [26:55] The guys make their cases for Cowboys free agency. Evan wants the Cowboys to sign a veteran wide receiver. Kevin says David wins the day by suggesting Bobby Wagner at linebacker. [46:26] In the potpourri segment, the insiders outline Mark Adams’ demise from Coach of the Year to coach-out-the-door. They also wonder when Luka Doncic grows up and stops barking at refs.

Martin Perez still dealing, a deal for the Cowboys, Jason Kidd schools Luka Doncic Mar 01, 2023

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington and Evan Grant rehash spring training memories. Kevin’s least favorite: The time he had to spend the night in his rental car because Evan turned off his hearing aids. [17:33] Kevin wonders if Martin Perez might still be the Rangers’ best pitcher. If he is, Evan says, the season has either been an utter success or complete collapse, no in-between. Evan says Chris Young’s experience as a pitcher gives the Rangers’ organization a different perspective and maybe a different horizon. [47:35] Kevin proposes the Cowboys trade for Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey, thus making up for not drafting him in 2016. He also wishes Luka Doncic happy birthday and says the best gift he can get is more schooling from Jason Kidd.
