Welcome to our podcast, SportsDay Insider, hosted by Dallas Morning News sportswriters Kevin Sherrington and Evan Grant. Hear their expert analysis, hot takes and humor about the things you’d expect — Cowboys, Mavs, Rangers, Stars — and a few things you didn’t see coming, each week in The News’ podcast feed.

Listen to this episode

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and Joe Hoyt try [00:19] to put the Cowboys’ win over the Jets into perspective. On one hand, it was the Jets, a truly bad team. On the other, Chicago isn’t great, either, and the Bears walked all over the Cowboys. Only a couple weeks after saying they’d be lucky to win five games, Joe now says his glass is “half-full,” if only because the offense is so good and the defense couldn’t be any worse than it was the first three games. Kevin and Evan discuss [25:30] what difference Skip Schumaker can make and rank the biggest needs. (Hint: It’s not pitching). And [51:35] if the Sooners’ John Mateer really is back for Texas-OU, the Longhorns could have a long afternoon at the Cotton Bowl.
