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.

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, [2:15] Evan Grant and David Moore discuss the twin second-round series of the Stars and Mavs: One team on the verge of making its conference finals after another dominating win; the other blowing a chance to do the same with an inexcusable loss. Not only was the Mavs’ free throw shooting horrendous, their superstars, Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, couldn’t match the Thunder’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander with their scores combined. [21:08] Evan tells us what’s up with the Rangers’ lineup and Adolis Garcia in particular. And the guys discuss [41:42] Tom Brady’s curious shot at Dak Prescott in discussing his upcoming role as analyst for Fox’s opening game between the Cowboys and Browns.

Stars dominate, Mavs flop, Rangers can’t hit and the GOAT takes a shot at Dak

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and David Moore [4:30] talk about the Mavs and Stars each advancing to the second round for the first time in 21 years. Kevin says Jake Oettinger will have to step up from his regular-season performance against Colorado in which he gave up an average of five goals a game. David tells us when the Mavs will miss Maxi Kleber the most. [31:40] The guys also discuss the transformation of Kyrie Irving, who seems happy in Dallas and is playing like it. Evan says as Corey Seager goes, so goes the Rangers’ offense. And David [51:10] tells us why Will McClay doesn’t always draft players from the SEC or Big Ten, but it’s a tiebreaker.

Mavs and Stars advance, Rangers hitting and we’re still talking Cowboys draft

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, David Moore and Evan Grant discuss [1:12] the Cowboys’ draft and why, why, why they didn’t take a running back. David provides insight into the Cowboys’ thinking and what they got right, namely, the offensive line, and what the signing of Zeke Elliott means. [24:45] Evan says the Rangers did about as well as could be expected for a tough April schedule, while Kevin argues that, if they’d played well, they could have distanced themselves from the competition. [44:55] Kevin and David analyze the difference in the Clippers when Kawhi Leonard plays or doesn’t, and the impact it has on the Mavs in the playoffs. And the guys reveal the depth of their hockey knowledge in discussing the Stars’ ability to square their playoff series with Vegas at 2-2.

Cowboys’ draft, Rangers’ tough April and Mavs/Stars playoffs

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.
