  Aug 17, 20261h 22mS1

  Guest: Lee Nguyen Head Coach Trinity FCSo let me get this straight – the Cowboys signed Quinnen Williams to a big ol’ extension, for more $35 million annually over three years, which is the second highest among defensive tackles. And they did it really early, with minimal drama. How’s this all sitting with you?We lost Don Nelson over the weekend at 86 years old. He did a whole lot for the Mavericks during his time in Dallas. What will you remember most about him?Let’s keep it on Cowboys and week 4 of the training camp spotlight series. So far we’ve talked Rashan Gary, Tyler Guyton, and DaRon Bland. Who are you eyeing this time around? DeMarvion Overshown enters the chat. It’s a slow week so instead of talking about what’s going on right now, let’s look to the future. Pie, look into your crystal ball. This time next year, what will the headline read about each of the local teams.—-------------------Like and subscribe to our channel if you enjoy StrongSide.If you'd like to read even more great journalism about Dallas sports then please consider subscribing to D Magazine at dmagazine.comSubscribe to the StrongSide newsletter for weekly updates on the sports happenings in Dallas https://www.dmagazine.com/site/newsletters/Studio: Haymaker Studio in FriscoProducer: Averie Luna,Matt Czizek and Julian DeanHosts: Mike Piellucci and Mike Marshall

  StrongSide 39: Stealing Snaps and Cross Chopping with John Owning

  Aug 17, 20261h 44mS1

  Guest: John Owning of The Cross Chop PodcastThis damn baseball team. Last week, we led the show talking about the Rangers, who were coming off taking four of five against Seattle and Tampa. They proceeded to lose every game since. So not only are the Rangers no longer in first place, and not only are the Rangers no longer above .500, they did not buy or sell at the trade deadline. What… the … hell?We got our first positive AAC news in a long time yesterday, when it was announced that it will be the Wings’ home in 2027. What do you make of this?We’ve spent several episodes recently talking about the young talent the Mavs have brought in. Now it’s time to talk about two pieces of veteran news. Over the weekend, Naji Marshall agreed to a three-year, $52 million extension that will keep him in Dallas through his age-32 season. Then, on Monday night, the buyout rumors started getting serious with Klay Thompson. How did those land with you?It’s week 3 of the training camp spotlight series. You kicked it off with Rashan Gary, then I zoomed in on Tyler Guyton last week. Who are you eyeing this time around?Then we're joined by John Owning to discuss what's ahead for the Dallas Cowboys season. —-------------------Like and subscribe to our channel if you enjoy StrongSide.If you'd like to read even more great journalism about Dallas sports then please consider subscribing to D Magazine at dmagazine.comSubscribe to the StrongSide newsletter for weekly updates on the sports happenings in Dallas https://www.dmagazine.com/site/newsletters/Studio: Haymaker Studio in FriscoProducer: Averie Luna,Matt Czizek and Julian DeanHosts: Mike Piellucci and Mike Marshall

  StrongSide 38: Dallas Nailed the World Cup with Monica Paul

  Aug 5, 20261h 43mS1

  Guest: Monica Paul of the Dallas Sports CommissionOn Friday Rangers went into the biggest series of the season and took three out of four games against Seattle to widen their division lead to two games before taking the series opener against Tampa. But seeing as how this team is still just three games above .500, do you think that’s the statement ownership needs to let this team go out and buy?Officially speaking, Cowboys training camp began on Sunday when the team arrived in Oxnard. But for all intents and purposes, it got underway yesterday, with Jerry Jones’ annual opening presser. You take anything useful from it to set the tone for the next six months?Soccer talk? Soccer talk! Atletico Dallas announced its first signing this week, and it is Javier Hernandez, better known as Chicharito. A lot of people know why this is a big deal, but for those who don’t, explain who this man is and why it’s a coup for a second-tier men’s soccer team to land him.Last week, I kicked off our Cowboys player spotlight series with Rashan Gary. This week, it’s your turn. Who do you have your eye on Machine?—-------------------Like and subscribe to our channel if you enjoy StrongSide.If you'd like to read even more great journalism about Dallas sports then please consider subscribing to D Magazine at dmagazine.comSubscribe to the StrongSide newsletter for weekly updates on the sports happenings in Dallas https://www.dmagazine.com/site/newsletters/Studio: Haymaker Studio in FriscoProducer: Averie Luna,Matt Czizek and Julian DeanHosts: Mike Piellucci and Mike Marshall

  StrongSide 37: Optimistic Operations with Saad Yousuf

  Aug 5, 20261h 41mS1

  Guest: Saad Yousuf of The AthleticKyrie Irving. Cooper Flagg. Zaccharie Risacher. The Mavs now have three No. 1 overall picks on their roster, after Dallas acquired Risacher from Atlanta for Ryan Nemhard and a top-55 protected second-round pick, which is like kevlar vest levels of pick protection. I’m gonna go out on a limb and say he probably won’t wind up like the first two guys, so what’s the realistic hope here?ACC media days were last week, and the preseason team comes out this week, which means we should talk some SMU football. USA Today had the Mustangs ranked second in the conference after Miami, the national championship runner-up. Are you buying that?Jason Robertson is a Dallas Star for at least one more year, after he and the team agreed to a one-year, $12 million deal to avoid arbitration. While this isn’t the outcome the Stars probably wanted, it also didn’t get ugly. What has to happen next to make you feel good about this team for opening night? We’re in the doldrums of summer, so with Cowboys training camp , let’s do another player spotlight series. This one will be straightforward: the people who have the most to prove on the roster. Pie, you can start us off. Give me a name you most need to see something from in Oxnard?00:00-48:11 Intro and news of the day48:11-1:42:00 Saad Yousuf of The Athletic—-------------------Like and subscribe to our channel if you enjoy StrongSide.If you'd like to read even more great journalism about Dallas sports then please consider subscribing to D Magazine at dmagazine.comSubscribe to the StrongSide newsletter for weekly updates on the sports happenings in Dallas https://www.dmagazine.com/site/newsletters/Studio: Haymaker Studio in FriscoProducer: Averie Luna,Matt Czizek and Julian DeanHosts: Mike Piellucci and Mike Marshall

  StrongSide 36: Stopping the Talent Bleed with David Castillo

  Aug 3, 20261h 41mS1

  Guest: David CastilloMLB season returns on Friday, and the Rangers will begin the second half in first place in the AL West. Let’s have some fun with predictions: where do the Rangers finish the season, do they make the playoffs, and how many moves will they make by the trade deadline?What is BZZR and why is it the new broadcasting partner for the Texas Rangers? I have a suspicion that it's not a positive shift. The Wings are on a five-game winning streak and officially are in the WNBA’s upper crust. You can probably guess the biggest reason for that: Paige Bueckers is averaging 24-6-7 this month on 52% shooting and a 4:1 assist:turnover ratio. I’m not going to ask you where she stands among the WNBA’s best, because she needs a few more skins on the wall to get in the elite group. What I will ask is this: where does she rank among Dallas’ most important athletes?The World Cup has one more match left, but its time in Dallas is over. What will you remember from it?—-------------------Like and subscribe to our channel if you enjoy StrongSide.If you'd like to read even more great journalism about Dallas sports then please consider subscribing to D Magazine at dmagazine.comSubscribe to the StrongSide newsletter for weekly updates on the sports happenings in Dallas https://www.dmagazine.com/site/newsletters/Studio: Haymaker Studio in FriscoProducer: Averie Luna,Matt Czizek and Julian DeanHosts: Mike Piellucci and Mike Marshall
