SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and David Moore discuss [00:40] Jerry Jones’ decision to stay with Mike McCarthy and his staff while the Eagles fired both coordinators. David says it reflects Jerry’s desire, at 81, to keep a coach who’s cultivated a productive relationship with his quarterback, Dak Prescott. [28:40] Evan tells us why Adrian Beltre should reap one of the best approval ratings ever with his Hall of Fame vote and what a third Ranger in the HOF means to the fan base. [45:33] And the guys analyze Luka Doncic’s triple-double record and why it doesn’t seem to help the Mavs win all that much.

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.

Rangers’ bullpen, tone-deaf Cowboys, Mavs’ potential and Scottie’s beer run

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.
