Restocking the Rangers, putting a Ring on Cowboys and revamping the Mavs Jul 12, 2022

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and David Moore take a look at the Rangers [1:52] at the half-way point and ask what's the top priority. Kevin says it's adding starting pitching now; Evan wonders if they should wait. Evan offers his thoughts on what the Rangers will do with the third pick of the draft this weekend. Kevin says they can't afford to make a mistake like Donald Harris, the athlete, over Frank Thomas, the hitter. [20:55] David gives five Cowboys that Jerry Jones should consider for the Ring of Honor, and the panel ranks their favorites. [35:22] In the ever-popular potpourri, Kevin asks David if the Mavs are giving up on small ball, the system that got them to the Western Conference Finals.

Mavs wait on Brunson, Rangers wait on Seager while Texas' wait on QBs appears over Jun 28, 2022

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and David Moore [4:00] discuss whether Jalen Brunson stays with the Mavs, a team he likes and where he has a better chance of winning, or does he go to the Knicks to run the show and play for his father? Evan says a pro athlete's decision invariably comes down to money and a shot at winning, but David notes that family may change the dynamic. Jalen may also have a bone to pick with the Mavs. [17:30] Evan points out that Corey Seager may not help himself by taking a private approach to his hitting slump. Metrics and scouting allow teams to make faster adjustments, Kevin says, and hitters need all the help they can get. [30:22] And the insiders discuss the impact of Arch Manning's commitment to Texas, a program historically low on QB talent.

Rangers' lackluster leaders, Jerry's lust for Payton and Greece is the word Jun 21, 2022

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington and Evan Grant discuss the leadership styles of the Rangers' two highest-paid stars, Corey Seager and Marcus Semien, and the downside of investing so much money in such low-key personalities. Kevin says that as soon as Sean Payton raises his hand and says he'd like to be the Cowboys' coach, Jerry Jones will put Mike McCarthy's stuff on the front porch of the Star. Evan wonders if Jerry is willing to pay the price. And in the potpourri segment, the insiders talk about a new Stars coach, the Mavs' big trade, golf, the World Cup coming to Dallas in '26 and the Greece T-shirt Evan got from the last time the World Cup played in Dallas.

Just how good are the Rangers, and how bad is the idea of LIV Golf? Jun 14, 2022

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington and Evan Grant [6:08] discuss the prospects for the Rangers as they near a reckoning about playoff contention. Evan says the Rangers shouldn't deal for a rental player because they're still not good enough. Kevin says rentals are out, but the Rangers owe it to their fans to compete for the tournament if possible. Both Insiders say it might be enough if Ezequiel Duran, Josh Smith, Leody Taveras and other kids make viable contributions this year. [23:38] A definite local contender this week is Big D's Big 3 -- Scottie Scheffler, Jordan Spieth and Will Zalatoris -- at the U.S. Open. Also, everybody's got a right to make as much money as possible, but, with LIV Golf, you have to consider the source.

Rangers screwing up chances, Cowboys paying tight ends and . . . Yahtzee? Jun 07, 2022

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington and Evan Grant discuss the Rangers' recent inability to get over the .500 hump and into second place in the AL West [1:15]. Kevin says Matt Bush shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the ninth inning. Evan says the bigger issue is the fact that the Rangers' big-ticket signees, Corey Seager and Marcus Semien, haven't carried the team. Until they pick it up, the Rangers will founder. Dalton Schultz wants a long-term deal from the Cowboys [20:57], leading Kevin to say he's not worth it. Evan says maybe. The fellas also discuss the Mavs' off-season [16:24], the new LIV Golf tour [25:04] and the evergreen nature of Yahtzee, a game for all generations.

Seager's getting paid, Brunson's got receipts and DeMarcus has a new hairdo Jun 01, 2022

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and David Moore discuss the end of the Mavs' season and its impact on Jalen Brunson's future as well as the start of something -- maybe -- with the .500 Rangers. [2:00] Kevin asks Evan if Corey Seager's 11 home runs -- including nine at Globe Life Field -- are a good sign considering he's under contract for 10 years. [13:30] In order to find a center who can rebound and provide a little interior defense, David predicts the Mavs will sign Brunson, give Tim Hardaway Jr. a little time to reassert himself then decide which of the guards to deal during the season. [28:00] And Kevin and David discuss DeMarcus Lawrence's new dreadless look and just how much better the Cowboys' defense can get in Dan Quinn's second season as defensive coordinator.

What's next for Mavs, what's up with Rangers and stupid things people say May 24, 2022

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and David Moore take on a ton of topics, starting with the [1:25] Mavs' next steps after their surprising run to the Western Conference Finals. One benefit, Kevin says, is that they now know they don't necessarily need another superstar. Just a center who can rebound and create his own shots. [17:00] Evan says the Rangers' $500 million middle infield needs to start hitting to excite the fan base now that the Rangers hold center stage. [30:09] The Cowboys probably aren't done in free agency, says David, who thinks Anthony Barr could be a target. [33:38] The Colonial is this week, hosting one of golf's budding Dallas rivalries in Scottie Scheffler, Jordan Spieth and Will Zalatoris. [41:27] And who looked worse in last week's catfight: Nick Saban or Jimbo Fisher?

The rise of Luka and the Mavs, the next step for the Stars and what's $10 billion to Jerry Jones? May 17, 2022

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and David Moore discuss [1:35] Sunday's Game 7 doubleheader featuring the Mavs and Stars. Evan moderates a discussion between Kevin and David about what the Mavs need to do to beat the Warriors in the Western Conference Finals. David says the sign of a great team or player is when it happens before you're ready, the case with both the Mavs and Luka Doncic. [26:25] Kevin says it's time for Rick Bowness and his defense-first-and-last approach to go if the Stars want take advantage of the play of Jake Oettinger, the best home-grown goalie the organization has produced since it moved to Dallas. [42:45] And Evan tells us what he learned about the Rangers while he was laid up.

Surprising Mavs and Stars, same ol' Cowboys and not another NFL team for Dallas May 10, 2022

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington and David Moore discuss a wide range of topics, starting [1:04] with the Mavs' surprising rebound from an 0-2 start to square the series. Kevin says the Mavs have exposed the flaw in the Suns' offensive approach, but David argues it'll be a different story in Phoenix. He also predicts the Suns in six. Kevin says the Stars will go further in the playoffs than the Mavs. [16:55] The Insiders take up the Quixotic quest of Eric Johnson, Dallas' mayor, to bring a second NFL team to Dallas. Not only is there no chance, Kevin says, there's no shot at a third NFL team in Texas. [41:00] And in the popular Potpourri segment, the boys talk this week's Nelson and the NCAA's futile attempts to regulate NIL.

Mavs' poor Game 1, Cowboys mediocre draft and Willie's future with Rangers May 03, 2022

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and David Moore [ 1:13 ] discuss the Mavs' loss to the Suns in Game 1 of the conference semifinals. David says he's not surprised and predicts a much better game Wednesday. Kevin says even when they lost Game 1 to the Jazz, at least a template was in place. There was no template Monday. [14:23] David and Kevin reveal their draft grades for the Cowboys, and all three panelists give their favorite picks. [32:55] Evan analyzes the turnaround of the Rangers' rotation and outlines what Willie Calhoun has to do if he's ever going to be the hitter both he and the Rangers hoped he'd be.
