How far can Mavs go, should Cowboys tag Tony Pollard and what’s left for the Rangers? Feb 22, 2023

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and David Moore discuss recent top local stories, starting with the buzz from NBA All-Star weekend. [00:40] The All-Stars love the Mavs’ addition of Kyrie Irving, Kevin notes, but players always appreciate the addition of stars. Will the move have organizational impact? David says, not so much. [19:49] Evan goes over the Rangers’ left-field situation and the impact of a platoon. [38:12] David tells us why the Cowboys should place the franchise tag on running back Tony Pollard. Kevin says that’s fine, as long as they add a banger to play a little bully ball. [1:00:28] And, last but not least, the guys rate sub sandwich shops in Surprise, Ariz., the home of Rangers spring training.

Kyrie’s AAC debut, Rangers’ black holes, best Super Bowl ever ... until the end Feb 15, 2023

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, David Moore and Evan Grant are joined by Mavericks beat writer [00:12] Callie Caplan to discuss the home debut of Kyrie Irving in a 124-121 loss to Minnesota. Callie tells us that Kyrie’s addition has energized the Mavs’ roster and brings a different gear. Losing two games in a row in the final seconds, the latest because Kyrie and Luka Doncic couldn’t decide who should take the last shot, isn’t necessarily a bad thing, David said. It shows they’re both willing to accommodate the other. [16:31] Evan tries to correct Kevin when he says shortstop and second base were “black holes” for the Rangers the first couple months of last season, but Kevin sticks to his assertion. [38:03] And the guys debate the merits of a Super Bowl marred by a bad ending yet leaves us quantifying where Patrick Mahomes ranks in the pantheon of all-time quarterbacks.

The Mavs’ big gamble on Kyrie, Rangers spring preview and Super Bowl predictions Feb 08, 2023

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and David Moore [2:53] discuss the national sports news of the week: the Mavs’ controversial acquisition of Kyrie Irving. David calls it an even bigger risk than Roy Tarpley. Evan says he’s conflicted about what he concedes is a good basketball move. Kevin expects Irving to be on his best behavior, because he doesn’t have any more leverage. [25:35] Evan gives his five topics of spring for the Rangers. [47:50] The guys make their Super Bowl picks and discuss the elevation of Brian Schottenheimer to Cowboys offensive coordinator.

Tough love for Dak, Luka chirps and what’s up at the Dallas Zoo? Feb 01, 2023

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and David Moore discuss [7:09] the overhaul of the Cowboys’ offensive staff and what it means for quarterback Dak Prescott. Evan says the fortunes of Dak and Mike McCarthy are now intertwined. Kevin says that if Dak has another year like the last one, chances are neither will be back in 2024. Evan tells us [29:10] that Corey Seager has never looked happier as a Ranger, using an elephant metaphor in the process and prompting Kevin to ask if Seager’s behind all the shenanigans out at the Dallas Zoo. The guys seem eager to get to the bottom of the mystery. [40:42] David describes an NBA culture in which it’s OK for an opposing coach to chirp at an opposing superstar, even if it results in Luka Doncic going off for 53 points. David and Kevin discuss the limited options for the Mavs before the trade deadline and what that portends for their playoff hopes as well as Luka’s contentment.

Another humbling end for the Dallas Cowboys ... plus what’s next? Jan 25, 2023

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, David Moore and Evan Grant [5:14] discuss the Cowboys’ 19-12 loss to the 49ers in the divisional round playoff, prolonging a streak of 27 years without an appearance in the NFC title game. Kevin says that if you’d told him before the game the Cowboys’ defense would hold the 49ers to 19 points, he’d have booked a flight to Philadelphia for the conference championship game. [23:00] The guys consider four key Cowboys — Mike McCarthy, Dan Quinn, Kellen Moore and Dak Prescott — and answer the questions of whether each will/should be back. What went wrong with Dak this year? How can he be fixed? All that and more in this special all-Cowboys, all-the-time podcast.

Prescott bests Brady, kickers and the yips, Rangers’ search for a left fielder Jan 19, 2023

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington and David Moore discuss [00:29] the Cowboys’ surprising dominance of QB Tom Brady and the Buccaneers in Monday’s wild card game. Kevin says Dak Prescott’s performance is repeatable against the San Francisco 49ers in the divisional round, if only because he went back to being the quarterback we knew before this season. David says last year’s playoff loss to the Niners was a focus and motivation for the Cowboys the past 11 months and should be a factor now. [20:45] Evan Grant joined the conversation to talk about Brett Maher and kickers suffering from the yips, Saturday Night Live and also who didn’t return his calls this week. [41:21] Evan then commandeered the mic to catch up on some Rangers news, such as the ongoing search for a left fielder and the bullpen without Brett Martin.

TCU’s not-so-excellent adventure; Cowboys playoffs; and not so fast, Sean Payton Jan 11, 2023

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and David Moore discuss [5:00] the Cowboys’ miserable loss to Washington and what that portends for a rematch with Tampa Bay. The guys take positions on their biggest concerns. David says if the Cowboys lose, any questions about Mike McCarthy’s status depend on the degree of embarrassment. If it’s anything like the loss to Washington, Kevin says, Jerry Jones better make sure Sean Payton hasn’t signed any papers with Denver. Evan says Jerry probably already has Payton on hold. [33:30] The guys ponder the question of whether it would have been better if TCU had lost to Michigan in the semis than to endure a historic blowout against Georgia. Sonny Dykes has to figure out a way to sell the ending of what had been a magical season.

Rangers’ rotation, TCU in the title game and life and death on a football field Jan 04, 2023

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington and Evan Grant discuss [4:04] the traumatic event of Monday night’s game between Buffalo and Cincinnati, when the Bills' Damar Hamlin collapsed after suffering sudden cardiac arrest. Kevin tells about his brother’s recovery from SCA as well as the case of Detroit’s Chuck Hughes, an Abilene and UTEP alum and the only NFL player ever to die on a football field. [37:57] Evan and Kevin talk about the prospects of a six-man rotation. Evan wonders if the Rangers could flip Jake Odorizzi for a left fielder. [49:20] And Evan speculates on whether his beloved Georgia Bulldogs can stop the freight train that’s become of the little engine that could, TCU. For all of their differences, Evan notes, both programs are led by quarterbacks with unlikely stories.

Evan and cows, Parsons’ slump, the Rangers’ outfield, Christmas-Hanukkah wishes Dec 21, 2022

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and David Moore discuss [5:04] Evan’s work with utters as well as the Cowboys’ utter failure in the second half against Jacksonville and what it means going forward. Say what you want about Dak Prescott’s issues, Kevin says, but the Cowboys’ transcendent player is Micah Parsons, and if he’s not great, the Cowboys suffer. David says the Cowboys need to beat the Eagles if for no other reason than to get their heads right for a playoff push.[25:18] Evan and Kevin discuss the Rangers’ outfield and the difference Michael Conforto could make. [38:00] And it’s Christmas and Hanukkah wishes for all of our faithful listeners.
