[36:55] The guys talk about Ohio State’s win ove...

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and David Moore discuss [4:28] the split between Mike McCarthy and the Cowboys and how much Jerry Jones’, uh, frugality had to do with it.

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and David Moore discuss [4:27] the Cowboys’ third win in their last four games, even if it was just Carolina.
