    Cowboys foundering, Mavs climbing, CFP expansion and Seager trade talk

    In an expanded podcast, SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and Calvin Watkins look hard for the bright spots in the Cowboys' win over the lowly Colts and find few. Calvin detects a realistic view setting in on management with the 49ers awaiting the Cowboys this weekend. Evan asks Kevin if he's surprised at how well the Mavs have started the new regime. Kevin and Evan share their thoughts on next year's expansion to a 24-game playoff and the ripple effects, and Evan lays out five teams that might be landing spots for Corey Seager.

    Cowboys trending down, Mavs up and Big 12 commissioner out

    SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington and Joe Hoyt discuss the Cowboys' disastrous OT loss to the Cardinals and what it should mean for the roster as they approach the trade deadline. Joe thinks they should be sellers, not buyers, and George Pickens should be the first to go. He also tells us why he thinks it won't happen. Kevin drops his suggestion for a successor whenever Brian Schottenheimer gets the gate. (Hint: Pickens' former coach). Mike Curtis joins Kevin to talk about the Mavs' flop against the Kings on Monday after a surprisingly hot start to the season. Mike tells us what the chemistry between Cooper Flagg and Kyrie Irving could mean for the latter's long-term future with the organization. They also discuss how the rookie class is playing and how Morez Johnson Jr. compares with one of his old Michigan teammates. And Kevin breaks down some of the FBS races as well as the exit of Brett Yormark, the Big 12 commissioner and Cody Campbell's chief protagonist.

    Cowboys, Longhorns moving up. Maybe the Mavs, too?

    SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington and Evan Grant discuss the Cowboys' 38-21 win over the Eagles and what it means for their prospects in the NFC East, where the Giants loom as their primary opposition at 4-2-1. Can Dak Prescott's dominance in the East carry them to the division title? Will Brian Schottenheimer's nearly-too-late focus on running the ball correct the offense's struggles? Can the defense get out of its own way? Kevin and Evan also regale the audience with tales of their trip to and from Austin, where they watched the Longhorns' wild win over Ole Miss, their second over a Top 10 team this year. And Mike Curtis joins the guys to tell us what the Mavs' roller-coaster start portends.

    Cowboys' and Longhorns' spiral, Mavs' start and a Rangers' star on the horizon

    SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and Calvin Watkins discuss the Cowboys' two-game losing streak and what it'll take to pull them out of the muck. Kevin notes that five of their next six opponents have losing records, including the Eagles, who will be without Jalen Hurts in Monday's game. Caution: Calvin's take is not for the faint of heart. The guys also parse the Mavs' playoff potential and the future of Kyrie Irving. Can Arch Manning rebound and put Texas back on track? Kevin and Evan talk about the Longhorns' CFP chances as well as Sebastian Walcott, the Rangers' next big hope.

    Cowboys' spiraling defense, CFB in Texas and what's Walcott's future with Rangers?

    SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and Joe Hoyt discuss the further decline of the Cowboys' defense and what it says that they're bringing in an old pal to help out Christian Parker. Evan says they should have done it sooner. Kevin says no team with Super Bowl intentions needs a defensive coordinator to grow into the job. Joe says not to expect any big improvements anytime soon. Kevin and Evan look back at Texas-OU as well as Mike Elko's outburst after another loss by Texas A&M, then give their takes on the SEC, Big 12 and ACC races. And Evan breaks down a future for Sebastian Walcott and how that fits with the Rangers'.

    Cowboys' small steps, farewells and Texas-OU, the state's best annual sporting event

    SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and Joe Hoyt discuss the Cowboys' 34-30 come-from-behind win over Houston. Joe tells us that, until further notice, the Cowboys will have to score 30 points a game to win. The good news is, they can do that, especially in a weak NFC East. Bad news: The defense isn't close to league average, and might never rise to that level this year. The guys cite the passings of Dennis Franchione, former head coach at both TCU and Texas A&M, and Jim Ray Smith, a world-class lineman at Baylor and in the NFL who served several decades with the Cotton Bowl Athletic Association. Kevin and Evan also lay out the possibilities for an upset of No. 1 Texas (Hint: not good) and what to do if your friend or loved one puts ketchup on a corny dog.

    SportsDay Rangers, Episode 58: A.J. Pierzynski | What's next | Most disappointing seasons in history

    With the Rangers officially out of the playoffs, John and Evan discuss the disappointing end to a disappointing season and break down Chris Young's end-of-season presser where he ran through a long list of attributes the Rangers lacked. Then they tackle the big question: How do the Rangers address all that? Former Rangers catcher and current FOX analyst A.J. Pierzynski joins the guys to discuss the playoffs, the national perception of the Rangers season and A.J.'s 2013 season with the Rangers. Did he and Yu Darvish really have words? Why didn't he return for 2014? Finally, John and Evan review the most disappointing seasons in Rangers history. Evan's got a pretty spectacular runaway winner.

    Questioning merits of Cowboys, Rangers, Stars and Texas CFB

    SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington and Evan Grant discuss the chaotic ending of the Cowboys' visit to Rio and the poor decisions that resulted in a loss to the Ravens. Was Dak Prescott unduly influenced by his coach's warning? Did Brian Schottenheimer make a mistake electing to kick through the end zone after the tie? Are the Cowboys a smart team? Evan also tells us how Chris Young, Rangers president, challenged his team's "grit" and "toughness" in a season-ending exit presser. Lia Assimakopoulos joins the guys to talk about the Stars, who drop the puck Friday. And Kevin and Evan analyze the highs and lows of a crazy SEC season, especially as it regards Texas and Texas A&M.
