SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and David Moore open [00:25] the discussion by noting that, in David’s time covering the Cowboys, he’s never seen fan angst at a higher level. Could frustration over playoff losses combined with an inactive offseason be exacerbated by the success of the Rangers, Stars and Mavs? Has the bar been raised across the board? [3:45] Kevin and David analyze why the Mavs have lost two games in a row for the first time in the playoffs and what they can do to at least avoid what David calls a “gentleman’s sweep” of five games and out. [23:32] Evan projects maybe just one Ranger on the All-Star team at Globe Life Field and says the next two weeks will determine if they’re buyers at the trade deadline.

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, David Moore and Evan Grant discuss the big topics, [6:40] starting with the Mavs' first finals run in 13 years.

David contends that Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown may use that sentiment as motivation. [19:10] Evan takes a deep dive on why the Rangers can't hit and more bad news about Evan Carter. [30:49] Kevin and David debate the leadership skills of Micah Parsons and wonder what the Cowboys' salary cap will look like when Dak Prescott, Ceedee Lamb and Parsons are all signed up.

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and David Moore discuss [4:45] the Stars and Mavs closing in on the finals in their respective sports. David notes that no NBA team has ever blown a 3-0 lead at any level of the playoffs, but Kevin says the absence of Dereck Lively II in the paint certainly has encouraged the Wolves’ Anthony Edwards and Karl Anthony-Towns, who outplayed Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving in Game 4. The Mavs need to close out Game 5 in Minneapolis, David said, to give Lively and Luka time to recuperate. [18:40] Evan goes over the Rangers’ weird week, and Kevin proposes a blockbuster trade. [43:08] David tells us what OTAs really mean and explains what Mike Zimmer meant when discussing the rehabilitation of Mazi Smith’s career and Dan Quinn’s hand in it.

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.
