SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington and David Moore discuss [1:25] the Cowboys’ abysmal state at 3-5, especially with Dak Prescott’s extended absence looming. David says the season is already over. Instead of spending fourth-round draft picks on the likes of Jonathan Mingo, Kevin says, they should be hoarding assets on a team that will pick eighth or ninth in the draft. [33:15] Kevin lays out the...

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and David Moore discuss [2:23] the Cowboys’ latest debacle, a loss on the road to the 49ers.

Cowboys, Longhorns dominance, Kumar Rocker coming on and was Jerry really right? 11.09.2024

Frustration with Cowboys, Mavericks slumping and a lone Ranger for All-Star Game? 12.06.2024

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.

[3:45] Kevin and David analyze...

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, David Moore and Evan Grant discuss [4:30] the conference finals run by the Mavs and Stars, the first time in Dallas history both have made it that far simultaneously.
