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.

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and David Moore [15:42] do their own three-round mock draft, and Evan, initially the reluctant drafter, goes all in with a trade netting three third-rounders. David tells us if our picks are on the Cowboys’ radar (Hint: Yes). Kevin simultaneously makes his picks and criticizes them. [2:07] Evan breaks down the Rangers’ hitting problems now that Bruce Bochy has finally pieced together a bullpen. [43:56] Kevin and David discuss the ‘90s style of basketball the Mavs played in squaring their series with the Clippers and stealing home-court advantage, while Jake Oettinger’s problems in goal for the Stars in Game 1 allowed the Golden Knights to do the same. And it’s another bad blazer for Scottie Scheffler.

Rangers can’t hit, Mavs punch back and our very own NFL mock draft

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and David Moore discuss the big events in Dallas this spring. [5:45] Evan tells us what to expect of Jack Leiter in his start Thursday as well as whether Jose Leclerc’s problems are mechanical or mental. [28:45] David says he’s never seen Jerry Jones so tone-deaf regarding fans’ disappointment in the Cowboys. [50:24] Kevin says anything less than a Western Conference finals run for the Mavs should be considered a disappointment, which tells you how far they’ve come in the last two months, and the guys marvel over Scottie Scheffler’s second Masters win, his footwork and the fact that he made it to the Inwood Tavern still wearing his green jacket Sunday.

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and David Moore discuss [2:06] another debilitating injury for Rangers third baseman Josh Jung, who’s probably out for two months, and the repercussions for the lineup. Evan also tells us about the future of Jose Leclerc at closer and the uptick on the bases otherwise. David discusses [17:09] the possibility of a reunion with Zeke Elliott (Hint: not so much), and Kevin gives us his favorite pick for the Cowboys at RB. [33:45] The guys give Caitlin Clark props as the greatest female player ever and one of the greatest shooters, male or female. There’s also discussion of Rashee Rice’s legal entanglements, SMU’s new basketball coach and the improbable rise of the Mavs, just in time for the playoffs.

Josh Jung’s luck, a pile of potpourri and no Zeke for you

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington and Evan Grant discuss [6:13] Wyatt Langford’s impact on the Rangers’ thinking this spring. They’ll slug even more than they did last year, which might make up for not signing Jordan Montgomery. They also analyze exactly what role new signee Michael Lorenzen will fill this season. [35:45] Kevin and Evan predict Caitlin Clark will win the NCAAs on the women’s side and Kevin is too chicken to guess outside the chalk on the men’s side. [49:51] In the potpourri segment, they also talk about the pluses and minuses of the local owners, the Cowboys’ free agent losses and the problems it makes for their draft, as well as how, of all things, Mavs guard Kyrie Irving has been about as good as anyone could have hoped.

Wyatt Langford, a new Rangers pitcher, NCAA brackets and potpourri!

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and David Moore discuss [1:02] the free agent market with the Cowboys as well as the Rangers. Kevin says if the Cowboys end up replacing two offensive linemen, the OL will be the biggest point of concern on the team this fall. [25:40] Evan tells us about his conversation with Scott Boras and his appeal to Ray Davis to pay for a starting pitcher like, say, Jordan Montgomery. The guys also discuss the sensation caused by Wyatt Langford, making the biggest splash at Rangers’ spring training since Pete Incaviglia hit a ball through a fence in Florida. [55:35] And Kevin and David try to make sense of where the Mavs are and what Kidd must do with the uncertainty of what a new owner may or may not do. Bonus: What’s Mark Cuban’s legacy as owner?
