Latest Episodes:

Cowboys' open lane in the NFC, Texas-OU week and Aaron Judge denied for a day Oct 04, 2022

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington and David Moore [1:09] discuss the wide-open state of affairs in the NFC, where the Eagles are the only undefeated team and the Rams, this week's opponent, just got humbled by San Francisco. David credits Cooper Rush for keeping the Cowboys in the race and predicts he'll start against the Rams. David also says Mike McCarthy has learned from past mistakes, and they'll take those lessons under advisement once Dak Prescott returns, possibly against the Eagles. [22:55] It's Texas-OU week, and though neither team is ranked for the first time since 1998, it's still Texas-OU. Greatest annual sporting event in Texas, as Kevin has said and written many, many times. But, if TCU and Oklahoma State are the Big 12's only CFP hopes, Kevin says, it doesn't look good. [36:23] Last but not least, the Rangers managed to avoid making history of a couple types Monday. But, if Aaron Judge hits No. 62 off a Ranger, is that really such a bad thing?

Cowboys building, Rangers rebuilding and Big 12 running out of CFP possibilities Sep 27, 2022

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington and Evan Grant [2:49] discuss the Cowboys' win over the Giants on Monday Night Football and what it means going forward. Evan says the Cowboys look like they'll be better than we thought after Dak Prescott broke his thumb. Kevin says the Cowboys' defense is evolving away from a turnover-only unit to a well-rounded bunch that may rank in the NFL's top five. And once Dak returns, they should lean into a more conservative offensive model as a result. [20:13] Evan outlines how many starting pitchers it'll take to fix the Rangers, especially with the Mariners looming as an equal with the Astros. Spend, spend, spend, Evan tells Ray Davis. [35:10] And the fellas provide an early outlook on the Big 12's CFP chances now that Oklahoma has lost once and Texas twice, with Evan calling Oklahoma State the league's best shot.

The greatness of Micah and Luka, pitchers for the Rangers and the problem with finding college quarterbacks Sep 20, 2022

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and David Moore [1:08] compare Micah Parsons' early impact and where he may already rank in Cowboys history and how that compares to the Luka Doncic effect. [12:58] David gives his assessment of where the Cowboys really stand with the potential return of Dak Prescott and Michael Gallup. [24:35] Evan drops a few free agent names that Chris Young might want to consider for the Rangers' rotation next year. [35:53] And Kevin analyzes the impact of Max Johnson on Texas A&M's offense going into the Aggies' game against Arkansas this week at JerryWorld while all three panelists pick a winner for the Iron Skillet.

Cowboys' tailspin, Longhorn and Aggie QBs and Jung-at-heart Rangers Sep 13, 2022

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and David Moore [3:20] dive into the morass from the worst opener in Jerry Jones' history. [5:38] David reports that surgery on Dak Prescott's right thumb indicates he may be back by mid-October instead of mid-November. But with the offensive line in disarray, penalties abounding and CeeDee Lamb MIA, our panelists predict a poor record for the Cowboys while Dak's out. [24:00] Josh Jung made a splash his first week in the bigs, but suddenly there are other questions on the left side of the Rangers' infield, with Evan noting Corey Seager has struggled since Chris Woodward's dismissal. [37:50] And it's a merry-go-round for QBs at Texas and Texas A&M. Steve Sarkisian may have found something at Texas, while Jimbo Fisher could be losing something at A&M.

Dinks and doinks, depth charts and decoding Jerry Jones Aug 30, 2022

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and David Moore discuss [1:40] the advent of football season and the Rangers' imminent demise. David outlines the lack of depth in the Cowboys' offensive line and what's likely to happen. Evan requires an interpretation of Jerry's latest comments about last season's playoff exit, and David explains what it means for the Cowboys going forward. [20:45] Kevin analyzes the quarterback situations at Texas and Texas A&M, and the Insiders lament Steve Sarkisian's decision not to release depth charts this year. And [28:45] Evan tells us what the Rangers fared about themselves this season, and what they still hope to find out about Josh Jung.

How far would Chris Young crawl to hire Bruce Bochy, and do the Cowboys know they need another WR? Aug 23, 2022

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and David Moore are back to talk about one of the most tumultuous weeks in Rangers' history. Besides defining Jon Daniels' legacy, which means once again clarifying Nolan Ryan's, Evan tries to figure out what motivated Ray Davis to fire his GM with 50 games left in the season. He also makes Bruce Bochy the Rangers' No. 1 target, which Kevin says should be a no-brainer. (23:49) David lists his three biggest personnel moves for the Cowboys, with WR the top concern. He also explains what Stephen Jones meant when he said Dak Prescott had his best training camp yet. Because it hasn't translated on the field yet.

Are the Rangers finally finding pitchers, and did the Cowboys find the next Lawrence Taylor? Aug 09, 2022

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington and David Moore discuss the latest from Oxnard, [00:53] where the kicking competition is heating up with a whole set of new kickers. David doesn't think Dak Prescott will play in much if any of the three preseason games. He'll get his reps in scrimmages. [18:50] Kevin asks if Micah Parsons, who may get more time as a pass rusher than we thought, is the second coming of Lawrence Taylor. [23:25] The guys compare the pitching histories of the Rangers and Astros and how organizations build reputations as a result. If the Rangers have 10 good pitchers in their system, Kevin says, they can hope two, maybe three actually go on to solid big-league careers. And that's probably good enough.

Rocker's a Ranger, LIV's a threat and McCarthy's toast if no playoffs Jul 19, 2022

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and David Moore discuss the week's big sports news, including the fact that the Rangers [00:10] shocked the world by drafting Kumar Rocker with the third pick. Evan says it allowed the Rangers to create the second surprise of the draft by taking Brock Porter, a first-round talent, in the fourth. [17:26] David gives his three storylines for training camp, led by Mike McCarthy's job security. Or lack thereof.

[34:00] And, in the popular potpourri segment, the guys talk Big 12-Pac-12 realignment and LIV Golf's first really big catch.
