From trading Luka Doncic to the Lakers to the injuries that derailed the dream, Norm dives into how one decision turned Dallas upside down.

Today, Norm takes a deep breath, stares directly into the abyss, and asks the question Cowboys fans probably should be asking: how exactly is Dallas going to pay for anyone next season? With the salary cap projected at $307 million and the Cowboys already basically using that to cover nine players and a pile of dead money, things are… well… tight.Norm breaks down the massive cap hits coming for Dak, CeeDee, Diggs, Quinn Williams, and more, while explaining why the Cowboys’ options range from

Norm is back and just thrilled to talk about the Rangers losing yet another franchise brain and the Cowboys turning Monday Night Football into a group exercise in “How Not to Football.” We break down Mike Maddox walking out the same door Bochy did, the Cowboys somehow forgetting that tackling is part of the sport, and Dallas making trade deadline moves like they just discovered Monopoly money.

Norm’s got a Monday doubleheader: first, a public-service announcement that the “2–5” Arizona Cardinals are the most annoying good bad team you’ll see all year; second, a therapy session about the Rangers’ brain drain—Bruce Bochy already gone, and now pitching whisperer Mike Maddux exits stage left to Anaheim. We break down why Jacoby “No Picks” Brissett is the exact backup QB you don’t want to face, why this is a must-win that won’t feel like one, and how Maddux turned duct tape and journeymen into

Norm rolls into Halloween wondering what the Cowboys should really do at the trade deadline: buy band-aids for a busted defense or stockpile draft picks and live to fight another day. Along the way, he side-eyes Jerry Jones’ “hundred-billion-dollar” gas talk, floats some pragmatic (and spicy) trade chips, and delivers the line of the day on Mozzie Smith and a steak dinner. Then it’s off to college football, where buyouts balloon, coaches vanish by mid-October, and LSU’s governor casually workshops a

Norm Hitzges grabs a bat, a calculator, and a fainting couch to process Shohei Ohtani’s “are-you-kidding-me” clincher: six scoreless with 10 punchouts and three moonshots to broom Milwaukee and send the Dodgers to the Fall Classic. Greatest single game by any pro ballplayer… ever? Norm makes the case—with tape-measure receipts, history comps, and a reminder why the Dodgers cut a $700M check without blinking. Then it’s why L.A.’s rotation is a cheat code (Snell? Glasnow? Yamamoto? …Ohtani?), how they

Norm Hitzges wakes up on a Monday just wondering if Jerry Jones might’ve accidentally told the truth. After the Cowboys outgunned the Commanders in a game that went from “uh oh” to “oh wow” in three plays, Norm takes us through the anatomy of a good ol’ fashioned Dallas redemption arc — complete with Dak Prescott magic, George Pickens highlights, and the Cowboys briefly looking like they actually practiced defense.But don’t worry — college football’s here to ruin the mood.

Norm takes a long, exasperated look at what used to be the pride of the NFL — the NFC East — and now looks more like a neighborhood HOA argument with shoulder pads. The Eagles can’t stop anyone, the Commanders forgot how to command, the Giants exist (barely), and Jerry Jones is out here celebrating 83 with optimism so strong it might need to be drug-tested.But Norm doesn’t stop at the gridiron. He pivots to the Mavericks, where predictions are as shaky as Kyrie’s return date and everyone’s

Norm Hitzges is back and wondering—do Cowboys fans really know who’s holding this team together behind the scenes? This episode starts with some well-deserved love for two unsung heroes: offensive line coach Connor Riley and receivers coach Junior Adams, who somehow turned a patchwork lineup of backups into a 37–22 beatdown of the Jets.Norm dives into the brilliance (and borderline wizardry) it takes to coach your ninth-best offensive lineman into keeping Dak Prescott upright and your sixth-string

Norm Hitzges is wondering — and not quietly — how the Texas Rangers went from World Series champs to looking like they misplaced their offense in a junk drawer.In this episode, Norm breaks down the mess General Manager Chris Young finds himself in: a team that can pitch but can’t hit, an owner allergic to the luxury tax, and a farm system that’s about as fertile as a parking lot. He calls it “the box,” and Chris Young is stuck squarely inside it, armed with little more than duct tape, prayer, and a

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.

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
