  • Good show bad sound

    Recording volume is too low, and often fades in and out.

  • Sound

    Sound level is awful.

    One guy can barely be heard and the other guys are so loud it’s annoying

  • Expert Sports banter with a side of laughs

    Kevin and Evan are fountains of wisdom on local sports. I love the camaraderie of these two. It makes my exercise go by quickly as I plug in and am thoroughly entertained and informed. The guests that are folded in add a nice dose of expertise but Sherrington and Grant are why I come back week after week!

  • Good show but….

    Love the show, but I can’t stand the back and forth banter for the first 5 or 6 minutes of the show. It’s so pointless and so boring, someone needs to tell these guys they aren’t funny. It’s so hard to listen to. Once you get past that part, it’s a good show.

  • Tech Issues

    Can’t believe that a major news outlet is not paying for better tech for these guys. It’s really just Kevin. Dude sounds like he’s calling in from 1997. And they need to stop talking over each other so much.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Cowboys trending down, Mavs up and Big 12 commissioner out
Q: Do you think that they are so intrigued by how they're playing right now that maybe this gives them a little feeling like not only was their initial feeling good, but maybe we should re-up for this going forward?
Curtis says Irving and Flagg appear to fit well together, and the Mavericks could keep Irving if they remain competitive, while discussing the risks of his player option and a possible departure.
Cowboys trending down, Mavs up and Big 12 commissioner out
Q: Do you feel like, obviously, well, maybe even more firm in the position that the Cowboys should not be buyers at the deadline?
Hoyt says the Cowboys should not buy because the roster is not one player away from a deep playoff run, and the team has already spent draft capital without solving its major problems.
Cowboys, Longhorns moving up. Maybe the Mavs, too?
Q: Is that going to be a season-long thing, do you think, or is that just while he's still ramping up a little bit right now?
Curtis says Kyrie Irving's back-to-back restriction is part of easing him back into game rhythm. He expects the team to manage his minutes and keep him fresh early in the season.
Cowboys, Longhorns moving up. Maybe the Mavs, too?
Q: So Mike, what do you make of these Mavs so far?
Curtis says the team is still finding its identity and will have both strong and poor performances, depending partly on its shooting, turnovers, and transition defense. He points to Cooper Flagg's late-game plays as a promising sign.
SportsDay Rangers, Episode 57: Josh Hamilton | Final countdown | Awards season
Q: What stands out about the 2015 comeback and its meaning for you?
Hamilton explained that returning from knee surgery in a very tight stretch run and contributing one week after the surgery felt like proof that the team and the players would do anything to reach the postseason, making those moments incredibly meaningful and personal.
