    StrongSide 39: Stealing Snaps and Cross Chopping with John Owning

    Guest: John Owning of The Cross Chop PodcastThis damn baseball team. Last week, we led the show talking about the Rangers, who were coming off taking four of five against Seattle and Tampa. They proceeded to lose every game since. So not only are the Rangers no longer in first place, and not only are the Rangers no longer above .500, they did not buy or sell at the trade deadline. What… the … hell?We got our first positive AAC news in a long time yesterday, when it was announced that it will be the Wings’ home in 2027. What do you make of this?We’ve spent several episodes recently talking about the young talent the Mavs have brought in. Now it’s time to talk about two pieces of veteran news. Over the weekend, Naji Marshall agreed to a three-year, $52 million extension that will keep him in Dallas through his age-32 season. Then, on Monday night, the buyout rumors started getting serious with Klay Thompson. How did those land with you?It’s week 3 of the training camp spotlight series. You kicked it off with Rashan Gary, then I zoomed in on Tyler Guyton last week. Who are you eyeing this time around?Then we're joined by John Owning to discuss what's ahead for the Dallas Cowboys season. —-------------------Like and subscribe to our channel if you enjoy StrongSide.If you'd like to read even more great journalism about Dallas sports then please consider subscribing to D Magazine at dmagazine.comSubscribe to the StrongSide newsletter for weekly updates on the sports happenings in Dallas https://www.dmagazine.com/site/newsletters/Studio: Haymaker Studio in FriscoProducer: Averie Luna,Matt Czizek and Julian DeanHosts: Mike Piellucci and Mike Marshall

    StrongSide 38: Dallas Nailed the World Cup with Monica Paul

    Guest: Monica Paul of the Dallas Sports CommissionOn Friday Rangers went into the biggest series of the season and took three out of four games against Seattle to widen their division lead to two games before taking the series opener against Tampa. But seeing as how this team is still just three games above .500, do you think that’s the statement ownership needs to let this team go out and buy?Officially speaking, Cowboys training camp began on Sunday when the team arrived in Oxnard. But for all intents and purposes, it got underway yesterday, with Jerry Jones’ annual opening presser. You take anything useful from it to set the tone for the next six months?Soccer talk? Soccer talk! Atletico Dallas announced its first signing this week, and it is Javier Hernandez, better known as Chicharito. A lot of people know why this is a big deal, but for those who don’t, explain who this man is and why it’s a coup for a second-tier men’s soccer team to land him.Last week, I kicked off our Cowboys player spotlight series with Rashan Gary. This week, it’s your turn.

    StrongSide 37: Optimistic Operations with Saad Yousuf

    Guest: Saad Yousuf of The AthleticKyrie Irving. Cooper Flagg. Zaccharie Risacher. The Mavs now have three No. 1 overall picks on their roster, after Dallas acquired Risacher from Atlanta for Ryan Nemhard and a top-55 protected second-round pick, which is like kevlar vest levels of pick protection. I’m gonna go out on a limb and say he probably won’t wind up like the first two guys, so what’s the realistic hope here?ACC media days were last week, and the preseason team comes out this week, which means we should talk some SMU football. USA Today had the Mustangs ranked second in the conference after Miami, the national championship runner-up. Are you buying that?Jason Robertson is a Dallas Star for at least one more year, after he and the team agreed to a one-year, $12 million deal to avoid arbitration. While this isn’t the outcome the Stars probably wanted, it also didn’t get ugly. What has to happen next to make you feel good about this team for opening night? We’re in the doldrums of summer, so with Cowboys training camp , let’s do another player spotlight series. This one will be straightforward: the people who have the most to prove on the roster. Pie, you can start us off. Give me a name you most need to see something from in Oxnard?00:00-48:11 Intro and news of the day48:11-1:42:00 Saad Yousuf of The Athletic—-------------------Like and subscribe to our channel if you enjoy StrongSide.If you'd like to read even more great journalism about Dallas sports then please consider subscribing to D Magazine at dmagazine.comSubscribe to the StrongSide newsletter for weekly updates on the sports happenings in Dallas https://www.dmagazine.com/site/newsletters/Studio: Haymaker Studio in FriscoProducer: Averie Luna,Matt Czizek and Julian DeanHosts: Mike Piellucci and Mike Marshall

    StrongSide 36: Stopping the Talent Bleed with David Castillo

    Guest: David CastilloMLB season returns on Friday, and the Rangers will begin the second half in first place in the AL West. Let’s have some fun with predictions: where do the Rangers finish the season, do they make the playoffs, and how many moves will they make by the trade deadline?What is BZZR and why is it the new broadcasting partner for the Texas Rangers? I have a suspicion that it's not a positive shift. The Wings are on a five-game winning streak and officially are in the WNBA’s upper crust. You can probably guess the biggest reason for that: Paige Bueckers is averaging 24-6-7 this month on 52% shooting and a 4:1 assist:turnover ratio. I’m not going to ask you where she stands among the WNBA’s best, because she needs a few more skins on the wall to get in the elite group. What I will ask is this: where does she rank among Dallas’ most important athletes?The World Cup has one more match left, but its time in Dallas is over. What will you remember from it?—-------------------Like and subscribe to our channel if you enjoy StrongSide.If you'd like to read even more great journalism about Dallas sports then please consider subscribing to D Magazine at dmagazine.comSubscribe to the StrongSide newsletter for weekly updates on the sports happenings in Dallas https://www.dmagazine.com/site/newsletters/Studio: Haymaker Studio in FriscoProducer: Averie Luna,Matt Czizek and Julian DeanHosts: Mike Piellucci and Mike Marshall

    StrongSide 33: No Aggregation Zone with Tim MacMahon

    Guest: Tim MacMahon of ESPN and The Hoop CollectiveThe new head coach of the Dallas Mavericks is… Dusty May? The Michigan guy? We’ll talk to Tim MacMahon shortly about why May and how this came together, but for now, what’s your take on Jason Kidd’s replacement?So that’s the coach. But how do May and Masai Ujiri and Mike Schmitz want to build this roster? We’ve got our first glimpses on Tuesday, when the Mavs took Morez Johnson. Do you like it, and what do we think should be next?A lot of stuff is happening in hockey right now, and as more players come off the board, the harder it becomes to ignore Jason Robertson’s situation. As a refresher, Robertson is a restricted free agent who needs a new contract. The Stars have reportedly offered 8 years at $12 million annually, which is the Mikko Rantanen deal. Robertson is reportedly looking for around $14 million annually. Dallas would need to free up cap room to do either number. If another team signs Robertson to a deal and Dallas doesn’t match, they get four first-round picks to be awarded over the next five drafts. So with all of that in mind: you getting nervous about going Robo going elsewhere? And what number makes you nervous if he stays?Hey, you went to the World Cup last week! What was that experience like? 00:43 - 13:27 Mavs hire Michigan HC Dusty May13:28 - 34:05 Mavs draft Morez Johnson and 9th overall34:06 - 50:53 Will Jason Robertson get a new deal in Dallas?50:54 -01:23:32 Tim MacMahon of ESPN and the Hoop Collective—-------------------Like and subscribe to our channel if you enjoy StrongSide.If you'd like to read even more great journalism about Dallas sports then please consider subscribing to D Magazine at dmagazine.comSubscribe to the StrongSide newsletter for weekly updates on the sports happenings in Dallas https://www.dmagazine.com/site/newsletters/Studio: Haymaker Studio in FriscoProducer: Averie Luna,Matt Czizek and Julian DeanHosts: Mike Piellucci and Mike Marshall

    StrongSide Episode 31: We Are The Champions with Rick Carlisle

    After years of anticipation, the World Cup is finally here. Are you into it, or has the adjoining layers of nonsense – high ticket prices, watering down the field, visas – taken some of the joy out of it?We’re gonna talk to the man himself about it shortly, but Friday marks the 15-year anniversary of the greatest moment in Mavs history. You and I met for the first time like two weeks after this went down, so I have no idea how you celebrated it. But what do you remember most from the Mavs’ title run and what stands out as the most all this time later? It’s time for another week of Mavs prospect talk – you wanna talk about a large adult son? Let’s talk Aday MaraWe deliberately held off talking about the Wings looking prettay, prettay good because we have been here before. But Dallas is 7-4 record and 3rd place in the West, and they’ve only lost to two teams. Are things actually different now?Then we're joined by a legend of the NBA, Indiana Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle. You read that right. 0:00 - 12:11 Intro and World Cup is all around you12:12 - 47:50 Mavs title memories47:51 - 56:09 Could Aday Mara be a Mav?56:10 - 1:04:00 Do we believe in the Wings?1:04:01 - 1:50:33 Rick Carlisle on the Mavs 2011 Title Run—-------------------Like and subscribe to our channel if you enjoy StrongSide.If you'd like to read even more great journalism about Dallas sports then please consider subscribing to D Magazine at dmagazine.comSubscribe to the StrongSide newsletter for weekly updates on the sports happenings in Dallas https://www.dmagazine.com/site/newsletters/Studio: Haymaker Studio in FriscoProducer: Averie Luna,Matt Czizek and Julian DeanHosts: Mike Piellucci and Mike Marshall
