Cowboys escape, Rangers’ top-tier pitching, Mike Leach’s impact, Texas’ trouble Dec 13, 2022

Show notes

With SportsDay Insider host Kevin Sherrington out, Evan Grant and David Moore actually get to talk to one another for a change. [00:48] David says of the Cowboys’ most recent escape from a trap game: Don’t focus on how close the game was with the Texans, focus on what happened at the end. He opines on T.Y. Hilton’s arrival and the impact on the OBJ drama. Also: Should we just go ahead and acknowledge there are two more games with the Eagles remaining? If so, what impact does the first one have on the second? [19:00] With the dust of the winter meetings settled, Evan puts the Rangers’ new rotation into perspective and runs through the rest of the winter shopping list. [32:00] In the wake of Mike Leach’s death, we remember his impact on football, which extends well beyond his time at Texas Tech. And finally, we ask: What message will Texas’ handling of the Chris Beard domestic violence arrest have on the school and its athletic program?

Cowboys' courtship of OBJ, Rangers' marriage with deGrom and the CFP leaves Alabama for TCU Dec 06, 2022

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, David Moore and Evan Grant discuss [00:14] Odell Beckham Jr.'s courtside visit to the Mavs-Suns game and the chances he signs with the Cowboys. David says if he signs with anyone, it'll be the Cowboys, but at what price? And how much could he play this year? [11:44] Evan says the Rangers weren't rolling the dice with Jacob deGrom, because he's great when healthy. But they won't narrow the gap much with Justin Verlander-less Houston unless they add another starter and bat. [24:40] Not only were the guys surprised that the College Football Playoff committee held TCU at No. 3 after its loss in OT in the Big 12 title game and turning its back on Alabama as a result, they came up with a new word to describe it. Listen to find out.

OBJ, winter meetings, Kemba and the Mavs and TCU in the CFP Nov 29, 2022

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, David Moore and Evan Grant discuss a wide swath of hot topics this week, starting [00:50] with the Cowboys' three-game lead-up to a showdown with the Eagles on Christmas Eve. David says the Cowboys are still interested in Odell Beckham Jr. even after the incident in Miami. Kevin says it's not just what he can still do on a field, it's the threat of what he can do that occupies opposing defenses. [20:35] Evan makes a shopping list for the Rangers at the winter meetings next week. Kevin wonders if Chris Young wants to win so badly, he's willing to overpay for Jacob deGrom or Carlos Rodon. [36:30] Kevin and David discuss the impact of Kemba Walker on the dysfunctional Mavs, who can't shoot straight. Or dribble, apparently. And the guys agree that if TCU beats Kansas State in the Big 12 title game Saturday at JerryWorld, the Horned Frogs are in. And if they don't, they're out.

Cowboys Super Bowl buzz, a visit with Bochy and Horned Frogs rule Nov 22, 2022

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington and Evan Grant [00:55] discuss the Cowboys' historic win over the Vikings and what it portends. Evan asks Kevin if the Cowboys are closer to the team that dominated the Vikings or the one that blew a 14-point fourth-quarter lead against Green Bay. The guys also discuss whether Jerry Jones has any business talking Super Bowl this soon. [21:40] Evan tells us about his visit to Nashville to watch a World Series game with Bruce Bochy, the Rangers' new manager. [30:10] Kevin says he doesn't know if TCU is really one of the four best teams in the nation, but it's certainly the most exciting. Which is a lot more than Texas A&M and Texas can say at this point as Sonny Dykes and the Frogs take center stage in the Lone Star State.

Rebuilding Cowboys’ swag, Rangers rotation and it’s Sonny over Texas Nov 17, 2022

Show notes

SportsDay Insider’s Kevin Sherrington, David Moore and Evan Grant [1:20] discuss the Cowboys’ “abominable” loss to the Packers in which David says both the offense and defense failed miserably. Kevin asks if the cold could be blamed for Dak’s miserable start and says Sunday’s game in Minnesota is must-win.
[19:55] Evan and Kevin discuss possibilities for the Rangers’ rotation and lineup. Evan outlines the plus and minus of a Jacob deGrom or Carlos Rodon over Nathan Eovaldi and Jameson Taillon. [37:20] Evan asks if Texas should have hired Sonny Dykes when it had the chance, and Kevin says he was more qualified for the job than Steve Sarkisian.

Packers' problems, hot stove, hotter Horned Frogs and hottest Luka Nov 08, 2022

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and David Moore discuss [1:14] the Cowboys' upcoming game in Green Bay and the Packers' disappointing season. Aaron Rodgers has won seven of his last eight games against the Cowboys, but Kevin says if the Cowboys don't win Sunday, we'll need to rethink just how far this team can go. David gauges a possible Odell Beckham Jr. signing, and the guys analyze the impact it would make on CeeDee Lamb. (Spoiler alert: Good impact). [16:32] Evan breaks down the GM meetings and any trade possibilities the Rangers' Chris Young may be considering. [29:18] Kevin says if TCU wins out, it should make the College Football Playoff. [37:12] And David says there's still plenty of time to find chemistry, but it'd be nice if someone took a little of the load off Luka Doncic once in a while.

Cowboys’ balancing act, the high cost of Rangers winning, dumbing it down for college QBs Nov 02, 2022

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders' Kevin, David and Evan [1:03] discuss the Cowboys’ win over the Bears and what it means going forward in the season’s second half. David called it Kellen Moore’s best game calling plays this year and wonders if Zeke Elliott’s absence made it easier. Evan says the simple act of Dak Prescott carrying a handful of times makes a difference, and the Cowboys have to balance that along with the shares by Tony Pollard and Zeke.
[19:22] Evan says the Rangers have several ways to go with Martin Perez, including a one-year qualifying offer. Kevin says they’ve got to sign Perez to a multi-year deal and tries not to take offense at Evan’s response to his call for the Rangers to trade for Shohei Ohtani. [36:22] And TCU keeps the state’s CFP football hopes alive while Jimbo Fisher may have to settle for finding a quarterback at last.

Jerry's right on Dak, Rangers got it right with Bochy and Luka rising Oct 25, 2022

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, David Moore and Evan Grant [5:05] discuss the Cowboys' win over the Lions and Dak Prescott's in-game progress. David says Dak realized he was forcing the issue and subsequently played to the offense's strengths. Kevin reluctantly says Jerry Jones was right to say Dak should be featured in more RPO, and Kevin goes Jerry one further by saying Kellen Moore should give Dak more bootlegs and rollouts in the red zone. [23:15] Evan and Kevin can't find anything wrong with the hiring of Bruce Bochy, the most accomplished manager in Rangers history. [37:00] And the guys discuss the wide-open Western Conference, the emergence of Christian Wood as a legit second star and what makes Luka Doncic so unique.

Dak's back, so are the Mavs and can TCU keep it up? Oct 18, 2022

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington and David Moore [00:40] discuss the Cowboys' loss to the Eagles, which fell on the defense in its worst performance this season. Until Dan Quinn's defense gets better at stopping the run, David says, expect the Lions and Bears week to follow the Eagles' game plan. David says Dak Prescott doesn't need to play "hero ball' in his return; expect, instead, more run-pass options and the difference four or five plays a game can make. [20:25] With the Mavs opening Wednesday in Phoenix, the Insiders discuss the new lineup and the adjustment Luka Doncic will have to make without Jalen Brunson next to him. Can they make the conference finals again? David and Kevin discuss the chances. [31:40] And Kevin counts TCU as a legit College Football Playoff contender, with David pointing to the Horned Frogs' Nov. 12 game in Austin as a prominent factor for the CFP jury.

Cowboys' balance, Rangers' balance sheet and a shift in the balance of power at the State Fair Oct 11, 2022

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and David Moore discuss [00:35] the Cowboys' big win over the Rams and what beating the defending Super Bowl champs means going forward against the Eagles. David says this is the most balanced offense the Cowboys have demonstrated since Dak Prescott's rookie season. Kevin says they need to maintain it once Dak gets back, which probably won't be this week. [15:05] Evan says the Rangers need to boost their budget considerably if they want to live up to their promise to be contenders next season. [34:35] And Kevin says he's never seen a Texas-OU game like Saturday's. The Sooners looked completely lost -- something we've seen from the Longhorns occasionally, but rarely OU -- and the Longhorns trotted out the kind of QB the Sooners used to be famous for.
