Norm chops it up with Mac Engel (Fort Worth Star-Telegram, professor of spicy takes) about everything from Pete Rose’s betting shadow to Dallas front-office math. They trade stories from the pre-internet days, then dive into the Rangers’ rebuild without a farm, the Cowboys’ Micah Parsons blockbuster and cap triage, and whether the Mavericks are zigging into defense in a league that zags to 3s. It’s old-school storytelling meets new-school reality: why some trades never stop echoing, how payrolls

If you like your sports with a side of chaos, this one’s for you. Norm dives headfirst into the Cowboys–Packers 40–40 overtime tie — a game so bonkers it felt like Madden on rookie mode. Dak Prescott? Nearly flawless. Brian Schottenheimer? Calling plays like he had the cheat codes. The defense? Well… let’s just say Green Bay found plenty of daylight. Then it’s off the field and onto the greens at the Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black, where the competition was world-class but the fans were straight-up

Fourth-and-Long Face: Norm’s Cowboys Reality Check |...

Just Wondering... with Norm Hitzges ·

2025/09/24

Norm wakes up choosing honesty and film study. With Mary riding shotgun (and running the board), “Just Wondering” turns into “Just Wondering How This Team Scores.” From C.D. Lamb’s ankle to a pass rush that couldn’t pop a balloon, Norm sifts through Pro Football Focus grades, calls out the talent gaps, and wonders aloud if “pretty good” Dak can carry a not-so-pretty roster. It’s witty, cranky, and very Norm—peppered with Mary’s sponsor reads, steakhouse cravings, and a plea for chunk plays before

Norm’s had it. The Cowboys went full “piece of dung,” and he’s here to vent so you don’t have to throw your remote through the TV. In this Monday episode, Norm celebrates Mary’s birthday (sort of), then rips into the Dallas Cowboys like a man who’s seen too many decades of bad football. Zero pass rush, busted coverage, Dak’s dink-and-dunk festival — nothing escapes the wrath of Norm. And because Norm can’t just stop at football, he piles on the Texas Rangers too, lamenting their ability to waste

With rookie QB Caleb Williams showing promise — and running for his life behind that still-suspect O-line — the Bears are looking dangerous enough to make Cowboys fans
