SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and Calvin Watkins discuss the Cowboys' signing of DeSoto's own Von Miller. Calvin tells us that Von plans to play 10 to 15 snaps a game, and Kevin says if he's going to get nine sacks again, it'll require a world-record success rate. Otherwise, Calvin says the defense under Christian Parker looks better than it did at this time last year under Matt Eberflus. Kevin and Evan try to make sense of the Rangers' most confounding season ever, one in which a .500 record might be enough to get them in the playoffs.
