Just Wondering, Norm Hitzges sits down with longtime Dallas Morning News columnist Tim Cowlishaw for a wide-ranging conversation about the state of Dallas sports — and whether anyone is fixing the right problems.They open with the Dallas Cowboys' offseason dilemma: should Jerry Jones pay big money to keep George Pickens… or invest that cash in repairing a defense that ranked among the franchise's worst? Tim makes his case clearly — championships are won with defense, not another $30-million receiver.From there, the discussion expands:Is Jerry Jones too attached to star power?Has NIL and the transfer portal permanently broken college football?Are the Texas Rangers “fragile” heading into the season?Can Kumar Rocker finally deliver on his promise?Is the NBA's tanking problem worse than the league admits?How bright is the Mavericks' future?And how long does a seven-decade writing career last?It's smart, candid, and classic Norm — thoughtful questions, sharp opinions, and no wasted time.

[21:15] Evan explains what's behind the IL for Rangers starters this year and what's up with new gloves for Jacob deGrom and Jack Leiter and how it may relate to the latter's success. Kevin questions whether the message is getting through to Rangers hitters and what Bruce Bochy needs to do at the top of the batting order.

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and Tim Cowlishaw discuss [8:20] the Stars' Game 7 win over Colorado and what it means going into the second round against the Jets.

[26:10] Evan explains what Chris Young wants from Bret Boone, the Rangers' new co-hitting coach. [41:30] Kevin says no franchise in the NBA has given up on better point guards than the Mavs, who traded Jason Kidd before his prime, let Steve Nash and Jalen Brunson walk, then traded Luka Doncic in his prime.
