[19:18] Evan asks David what the heck Jerry Jones was talking about when explaining why he left Mike McCarthy dangling. David contends that staying in Dallas was Dan Quinn's best move. [27:20] Callie predicts that Luka Doncic will be named to his third straight All-Star team, but not as a starter, and Kevin asks if Luka will use that and Reggie Miller's commentary as motivation.

McCarthy's Cowboys future, Kidd's present with the Mavs and MLB's ugly labor problems Jan 25, 2022

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Callie Caplan, Evan Grant and David Moore discuss the biggest questions about the Cowboys, [4:15] which is Mike McCarthy's future: Should he come back, and will he? Only one of the podcasters believes he won't be back. Hint: It's not Kevin, David or Callie. [25:39] Callie notes the huge improvement for the Mavs' defense in January, and Kevin credits Kidd for getting his players to buy in to such a difficult request. Callie says a lighter mood and the staff's efforts to give Kristaps Porzingis more post-up options has improved the dynamic between KP and Luka Doncic. Last but not least, [41:35] Evan rants about the looming shutdown in baseball.

The Cowboys' autopsy and what the Mavs should do before the deadline Jan 19, 2022

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Callie Caplan, Evan Grant and David Moore dissect the disappointing end of yet another Cowboys' season, [00:40] this one more unexpected than most. Evan asks what the Cowboys should do, and David says the first order of business is to fix the offensive line. Kevin says Dak Prescott proved he's not capable of carrying the team, so it's up to the organization to make it more Dak-friendly. They also discuss Mike McCarthy's future and how it's influenced by Jerry Jones' history with coaches. [22:13] Callie talks about Luka Doncic's upgraded play recently. David wonders if Atlanta's John Collins can make enough difference in a trade, and Kevin wonders if the Mavs can afford to burn another season of Luka's greatness, if we can call it that.

Dak's playoff QB ranking, expanding the CFP and are the Rangers Jung at heart? Jan 11, 2022

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and David Moore look at the [5:45] Cowboys' playoff matchup with the 49ers this week and discuss what could keep them from advancing. David agrees with the consensus that Dak Prescott is the fourth-best QB on the NFC side of the bracket, but he asserts that the playoffs are where reputations are made, and Dak can help his cause as well as the Cowboys'. [26:33] Evan rejoices in his beloved Georgia's win over Alabama. Kevin says expanding the playoffs to 12 teams won't change the final outcome much, but it'll make it more fun for everyone and once in a blue moon produce a Hoosiers-like Cinderella. [39:39] And Evan tells us why Josh Jung just might crash the Rangers' opening day, whenever that might be.

Same ol' Cowboys, new-look Mavs and can Georgia ever beat Alabama? Jan 04, 2022

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Callie Caplan, David Moore and Evan Grant discuss the [2:19] Cowboys' wildly erratic season and how that track record bodes for the possibility of breaking their 25-year championship game drought. David contends this is the Cowboys' best staff in years, and Evan says that should enable them to beat Arizona in a potential first-round rematch. Kevin and Callie say not so fast. [19:55] Callie outlines what the success of the Mavs' new roster means immediately and in the weeks leading up to the trade deadline. [ 33:00] Evan tells us why his beloved Georgia Bulldogs should beat Alabama for a change, and Kevin says that if star freshman quarterback Caleb Williams follows Lincoln Riley to USC, Oklahoma fans will seize Los Angeles.

Predicting the Cowboys, Mavs and Rangers for '22 Dec 28, 2021

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and David Moore make their predictions for the rest of the Cowboys' and Mavs' seasons as well as provide a glimpse of what's to come next season. David says it'll be hard to build on the Cowboys' success because of free agency and cap concerns, meaning they'd better win it all now. Can the Cowboys do that? Tune in to find out. Also, the crew sees improvement for the Rangers, but David predicts it might come with just 40 wins. The pandemic will continue to wreak havoc on sports in general, and, Kevin says, the Mavs will be the same ol', same ol'. Might even lead to a breakup.

Cowboys playoff seeding, SOC greatness and hats off to Todd Dodge Dec 21, 2021

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and David Moore hash out the Cowboys' potential playoff seedings [2:20] and what a No. 1 or 2 seed could mean for their Super Bowl chances. Evan wonders if any unit is playing as well as the Cowboys’ defense [7:04]. David says the Cowboys have flipped the script this season [14:43], but Dak Prescott still needs to figure out a way to beat what defenses have done to adjust to his strengths. Evan gives a shoutout to South Oak Cliff [22:25], which won Dallas ISD's first state football title in 63 years. Kevin and Evan note that this is what happens when you afford inner-city schools some of the same opportunities routinely given suburban schools. And Kevin notes the retirement of Todd Dodge [28:21], the former Southlake Carroll coach, who retired after winning his third straight state title at Austin Westlake and seventh overall.

Dak needs to be fixed, the Rangers need a hitter and should Georgia just concede to Alabama? Dec 14, 2021

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington and Evan Grant discuss the evolution of the Cowboys' defense and whether it's enough to carry the team if Dak Prescott doesn't revert to his former self [2:55]. The Rangers have made big signings, but they still need another hitter in the outfield, where nothing's given [17:31]. Kevin reveals his Heisman vote [27:17], then asks Evan if, given Georgia's problems beating Alabama, maybe they should just meet at midfield if they both make the finals, shake hands and call it a day?

Cowboys play defense, Mavs don't, Rangers lineup and the CFP Dec 07, 2021

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, David Moore, Evan Grant and Callie Caplan meet to solve local sports. Biggest takeaway from the Cowboys' win over the Saints [2:35] besides a 'W,' Kevin says, was the play of DeMarcus Lawrence in his first game back. David wonders how good this defense could be with the addition of Randy Gregory, who may play against Washington this week. Callie tells us [13:25] that Jason Kidd has remained on a fairly even keel despite the Mavs' uneven start, but change will have to come at the trade deadline. Evan gives his late-summer lineup for the Rangers [278:11]. Kevin and Evan discuss the CFP [34:19], why they're glad Notre Dame didn't make it and why Oklahoma fans should be glad Lincoln Riley left for USC.

Cowboys stagger towards a crisis, Rangers go for seconds on middle infielders and Oklahoma is no longer the Land of Lincoln Nov 30, 2021

Show notes

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, David Moore and Evan Grant discuss the fallout from the Cowboys turkey of a Thanksgiving performance [2:05]. New Orleans presents an unexpected test. Is the defense about to take over? And what exactly is going on with Dak Prescott's throws: Meanwhile, the Rangers spent $500 million over a long weekend on two middle infielders [16:20]. Kevin asks if they overpaid while Evan asks if that matters. And finally [24:58] the guys discuss the significance of Lincoln Riley bolting OU for USC while idealistic Evan asks: Could Sonny Dykes have handled his departure from SMU in a better way.
