    In this episode of Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges, Norm takes a look at two very different stories that somehow share the same theme: risk.First, the future of the Dallas Mavericks under new ownership.The Adelson family didn't buy 73% of the franchise just to sit courtside. Norm walks through what's really at play — the push to legalize casino gambling in Texas, the millions spent on political influence, and the long game behind a potential new arena and entertainment complex once the current lease expires in 2031.The big question isn't whether they want a casino in Dallas.It's whether Texas will ever allow it.Norm breaks down the politics, the timing, and whether the Mavericks are ultimately a basketball investment… or a much larger business play.Then the show pivots to the Winter Olympics — and one of the strangest medal-stand moments you'll ever hear about. A Norwegian biathlete wins bronze and decides the podium is the perfect place to publicly confess to cheating on his girlfriend and beg for forgiveness.Norm asks the obvious:Is there ever a good time for that? And was that it?It's sports, business, politics, ego, and human vulnerability — all in one episode.Sometimes the biggest gambles aren't the ones made with money. ⏱️ Chapters00:01 – Why the show is moving to once a week02:23 – Who really owns the Mavericks now?03:01 – The Adelsons and the casino connection03:57 – Can Texas ever legalize gambling?06:20 – Why legislation keeps failing08:09 – What happens when the lease expires in 2031?09:35 – Sponsor: Bob's Steak & Chop House10:15 – Full Moon Healing Balm11:44 – Winter Olympics recap12:46 – The Norwegian biathlete's podium confession15:41 – The girlfriend responds16:13 – Final thoughts Check us out: patreon.com/sunsetloungedfwInstagram: sunsetloungedfwTiktok: sunsetloungedfwX: SunsetLoungeDFWFB: Sunset Lounge DFW Just Wondering is a long-form sports commentary podcast hosted by longtime broadcaster Norm Hitzges, offering thoughtful, numbers-driven analysis of the NFL, college sports, the NBA, and the business and culture surrounding them.

    In this episode of Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges, Norm and Mary Hitzges tackle two heavy but necessary topics: what the Dallas Cowboys should have learned from the Super Bowl — and what America should be learning from the rise of hate in sports.Norm begins with the numbers.The Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots built Super Bowl teams around defense and balanced salary cap management. Seattle allowed just 17 points per game. New England allowed 18. Meanwhile, the Dallas Cowboys allowed over 30.The bigger story? Cap construction.Dallas' nine highest-paid players account for $239 million of a $300 million cap, leaving little room for what Norm calls the “middlemen” — the $8–15 million players who build roster depth and championship resilience. By contrast, Seattle and New England distribute money far more evenly, creating flexibility and defensive depth that wins in January.Norm then shifts to a broader issue: the rise of hate in American sports. From racial chants and religious slurs to recent incidents involving BYU athletes and Oklahoma State fans, Norm questions whether fines and soft punishments are enough — and whether sports can remain a unifying force when hostility keeps escalating.It's an episode about accountability — financial accountability in the NFL, and moral accountability in sports culture.Defense wins championships.But something else seems to be winning off the field. ⏱️ Chapters00:00 – Did the Cowboys notice what won the Super Bowl?02:26 – The stat that won't go away: 49 of 60 Super Bowls03:04 – Dallas allowing 30+ points per game03:49 – $239M for nine players: the Cowboys' cap problem05:19 – How Seattle structures its salary cap06:50 – New England's middle-tier roster advantage07:44 – Jerry Jones and the love of star power08:35 – Former Cowboys thriving elsewhere09:24 – Sponsor: Bob's Steak & Chop House10:18 – Full Moon Healing Balm11:38 – The rise of hate in America13:35 – Hate moving into sports arenas14:18 – BYU chants and Oklahoma State's response14:58 – Is $50,000 enough?15:46 – “On the love-hate scoreboard, hate seems to be winning.”16:08 – Closing thoughts Check us out: patreon.com/sunsetloungedfwInstagram: sunsetloungedfwTiktok: sunsetloungedfwX: SunsetLoungeDFWFB: Sunset Lounge DFW #JustWondering #NormHitzges #DallasCowboys #DefenseWins #NFLSalaryCap #SportsCulture #SuperBowl Just Wondering is a long-form sports commentary podcast hosted by longtime broadcaster Norm Hitzges, offering thoughtful, numbers-driven analysis of the NFL, college sports, the NBA, and the business and culture surrounding them.

    In this episode of Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges, Norm and Mary Hitzges break down Super Bowl 60 and the message it delivered — again — to the rest of the NFL.The final score shows Seattle Seahawks 29, New England Patriots 13, but Norm explains why the game was never that close. Seattle's defense controlled the afternoon from start to finish, confusing young quarterback Drake May with late-shifting coverages, constant pressure, and disciplined execution. Norm points out that this win adds to a now overwhelming trend: the team with the better defense has won 49 of the 60 Super Bowls.From there, Norm turns his attention to the Dallas Cowboys — and doesn't mince words. He argues that Dallas continues to ignore the most obvious lesson in football history, investing heavily in offense while hoping defense will somehow catch up. Norm lays out exactly what the Cowboys should do: use early draft picks and available free-agent money on five or six defensive players who can contribute immediately.The episode also highlights Seattle's overlooked advantages, including elite special-teams play from kicker Jason Myers and punter Michael Dixon, who consistently flipped field position. Norm praises head coach Mike McDonald's brilliant game plan, noting how Seattle built a championship defense without relying on massive salaries — instead emphasizing smart drafts, mid-tier contracts, and cohesion.It's a familiar lesson, delivered once again on the biggest stage: offense sells hope, but defense still wins championships.⏱️ Chapters 00:00 – Did Super Bowl 60 send Dallas a message?01:25 – Why the final score doesn't tell the story02:12 – 49 of 60 Super Bowls: the defense statistic that won't go away03:06 – Seattle's defensive domination explained04:02 – New England's stalled possessions and short drives05:51 – Befuddling Drake May with late-shift defenses06:29 – Turnovers, sacks, and constant pressure07:18 – Seattle's special teams flip the field08:11 – Why Kenneth Walker deserved MVP09:03 – Mike McDonald's brilliant defensive blueprint10:39 – How Seattle built a championship defense11:29 – Cowboys Organization: did you get the message?12:14 – Sponsor message: Bob's Steak & Chop House12:40 – Full Moon Healing Balm14:14 – Subscribe, follow, and final thoughts Just Wondering is a long-form sports commentary podcast hosted by longtime broadcaster Norm Hitzges, offering thoughtful, numbers-driven analysis of the NFL, college sports, the NBA, and the business and culture surrounding them.

    In this episode of Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges, Norm and Mary Hitzges look backward and forward at the same time — tracing the remarkable evolution of the Super Bowl while unpacking a franchise-shifting decision by the Dallas Mavericks. Norm begins with Super Bowl 60, revisiting how the game went from an awkward, half-empty afternoon in 1967 to the most powerful annual spectacle in American sports. From $12 tickets and $42,000 commercials to today's $8–10 million ad slots, Norm explains how the Super Bowl's growth mirrors the transformation of sports, television, and money itself. Along the way, he shares unforgettable history — including Max McGee's hungover heroics in Super Bowl I and the astonishing reality that neither network bothered to save the full game tape. The episode then shifts to the present, where Norm breaks down the Dallas Mavericks' decision to move on from Anthony Davis, effectively closing the book on the Luka Dončić era. Norm explains why the trade wasn't about talent — Davis was still productive when healthy — but about flexibility, criticism fatigue, and long-term cap strategy. With Dallas now projected to have $44 million in cap space, Norm outlines how the Mavericks may follow a patient, Oklahoma City–style rebuild built around flexibility, draft assets, and opportunistic trades. It's a thoughtful episode about growth, money, patience, and perspective — from the Super Bowl's unlikely beginnings to a franchise trying to find its next identity. Just Wondering_1.mp3 ⏱️ Chapters (YouTube-Friendly) 00:00 – Super Bowl Sunday questions and today's themes01:26 – The origin of the Super Bowl name02:10 – From $12 tickets to $10M commercials02:58 – 32,000 empty seats at Super Bowl I04:57 – Why the full game footage was never saved05:53 – Max McGee's hungover Super Bowl legend06:49 – Super Bowl 60 matchup and betting context08:02 – Why defense still wins Super Bowls08:56 – Transition to the Mavericks' big move11:09 – Anthony Davis traded and what it really means11:54 – Criticism fatigue and why Dallas wanted out13:20 – What the Mavericks actually received14:15 – The real prize: $44M in cap flexibility15:40 – Following the Oklahoma City rebuild model16:21 – Pieces Dallas still likes going forward17:18 – What Dallas ultimately got for Luka18:27 – Sponsors and closing thoughts19:19 – Final sign-off Check us out: patreon.com/sunsetloungedfwInstagram: sunsetloungedfwTiktok: sunsetloungedfwX: SunsetLoungeDFWFB: Sunset Lounge DFW Just Wondering is a long-form sports commentary podcast hosted by longtime broadcaster Norm Hitzges, offering thoughtful, numbers-driven analysis of the NFL, college sports, the NBA, and the business and culture surrounding them.

So yeah, that that that wasn't, that wasn't a smart move, but,Josh 00:01:27  Attracting. I mean, how did he attract 280,000 people to give him their email address? Right. Like, do you know what the offer was?Norm 00:01:36  Yeah. Well, different beauty products. So what it would be is you could go. You could go to the insert. It would go to a landing page. The landing page, would offer them one of his other products. So if you had the shampoo conditioner, you could have the, what's called keratin treatment, or you could have, there was, some serums and stuff like that, but you were offered a free product. So in the $10.Josh 00:02:06  In the insert card on the insert card, it says, hey, claim your free product I assume then yeah. Okay.Norm 00:02:13  Yeah. So all it did was send.Norm 00:02:16  He got the email address and the address because he had to send the product. So he had, he had it all and he did not and would not send out a single email.Josh 00:02:29  Fascinating. Yeah. Which is you know, going back you kind of shared that stat that you think that people are missing out on 40% of revenue just by not implementing, you know, additional as. Yeah. Right.Norm 00:02:43  You sell a million bucks, you're missing out a 400,000.Josh 00:02:46  Fascinating. Yeah. Any other stories or examples of, like, insert cards or, you know, ways that work to get people to provide their email address?Norm 00:02:56  Well, there's always the extended warranty. So that is something, again, going back to the knife company, extended warranty. So it's a lifetime warranty. Okay, great. That's a lifetime warranty anyway. Basically. But, you know, it's a lifetime warranty. another one was just like I was talking to you about before. A knife with the honing rod. Okay, great.Norm 00:03:20  another one that worked for that company was the meal plan and cookbook. So you can either download and get a weekly email. So what's in that weekly email with the weekly plan? Well, there's some sort of promotion. It wasn't all the time, but there was either just some recipes. So this is something that we did as well. We went out and we, talked to chefs and we talked to culinary schools, and we gave them, very expensive knife. And so the deal was we'll supply the whole class with these very expensive knives. if they provide us with a recipe and spread it out on their social media, tag us on their social media. So we got a ton of user generated content and we got a ton of Recipes. So what do we do on Amazon posts? We provided recipes. So that started to get a very unique following. And then because of that, we ended up getting all this really cool stuff that we could put onto this other page, fill in to the newsletter, and when people got their newsletter, they got recipes, which ended up being two full, really incredible recipe books.Norm 00:04:34  So now we give away the recipe books. But we could peel off one recipe at a time, which people enjoyed, you know? And we didn't do it, but you could have even segmented it further. If the person was vegan, you could just send them vegan recipes or vegetarian or, you ...

    In this episode of Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges, Norm examines two modern sports realities that feel completely different — but are driven by the same idea: pushing systems beyond what they were designed to handle.Norm starts with the Dallas Cowboys' looming 2026 salary cap crisis. With the NFL cap projected to exceed $300 million, the Cowboys are already $30 million over, before accounting for key players they want to keep. Norm walks through the uncomfortable math surrounding contract restructures, deferred money, and why the Cowboys' familiar strategy of “robbing Peter to pay Paul” makes today easier — and tomorrow much harder. From Dak Prescott's ballooning cap numbers to the impossible situation surrounding defensive tackle Kenny Clark, this is a clear-eyed look at how Dallas keeps betting on the future while borrowing against it.Then the episode shifts to college football, where the definition of a “career” is quietly being rewritten. Norm breaks down the unprecedented case of Miami linebacker Mohamed Ture, who is returning for an eighth season of college football at age 25. Thanks to redshirts, injury waivers, COVID eligibility, and NIL deals, Norm explains why some players can now make more money staying in college than entering the NFL — and why this trend may only accelerate.It's a thoughtful, numbers-driven episode about consequences, incentives, and what happens when leagues solve today's problems by moving them into tomorrow.JWw-NH SL Ep 95 ⏱️ Chapters00:00 – Just wondering about another Cowboys salary cap mess01:27 – The 2026 NFL salary cap: $300M and Dallas is already over02:08 – “Robbing Peter to pay Paul” explained02:53 – Cutting players to create cap space03:38 – Why Kenny Clark's $21M cap hit can't happen04:29 – The backlash if Dallas lets Clark walk05:11 – Nine players, $259M, and nowhere to go06:01 – Why the math simply doesn't work06:40 – March 11: the real NFL deadline07:21 – How Dak Prescott's cap hit ballooned to $74M08:04 – Zach Martin, retirement, and dead money08:55 – “Busting the budget” for a Super Bowl run09:41 – Sponsor break11:39 – College football's newest oddity12:26 – Mohamed Ture returns for an eighth season13:26 – ACL injuries, NFL risk, and NIL math14:13 – Making a career out of college football14:53 – Final thoughts and sign-off Check us out: patreon.com/sunsetloungedfwInstagram: sunsetloungedfwTiktok: sunsetloungedfwX: SunsetLoungeDFWFB: Sunset Lounge DFW #JustWondering #NormHitzges #DallasCowboys#NFLSalaryCap #CowboysNation#CollegeFootball #NIL #TransferPortal#SportsPodcast #SportsEconomics Just Wondering is a long-form sports commentary podcast hosted by longtime broadcaster Norm Hitzges, offering thoughtful, numbers-driven analysis of the NFL, college sports, the NBA, and the business and culture surrounding them.

    One year later, the Luka Dončić trade still gets talked about — just not completely.In this episode of Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges, Norm Hitzges revisits the shocking deal that sent Luka Dončić from the Dallas Mavericks to the Los Angeles Lakers, and explains why most retrospectives still leave out the most important details.Yes, Luka was a brilliant offensive force. Yes, Dallas fans adored him. And yes, the trade wrecked the Mavericks almost immediately. But Norm lays out three realities that rarely get mentioned: Dončić never improved defensively in his six-and-a-half seasons in Dallas, he consistently showed up to seasons overweight, and the financial commitment looming over the franchise was staggering — five years, $345 million guaranteed.Norm argues that Dallas would have accepted the turnovers, the shooting inefficiencies, and even the injuries — if Luka had simply taken conditioning seriously while he was there. Instead, that lack of commitment quietly shaped the Mavericks' decision in ways fans and analysts still resist acknowledging.Then, just when the conversation feels heavy, sports does what it always does — it delivers something you couldn't make up if you tried. Norm tells the unbelievable story of heavyweight boxer Jarell Miller, a career full of suspensions, comebacks, and one unforgettable Madison Square Garden moment when a perfectly timed uppercut sent Miller's toupee dangling — and then flying — into the crowd.It's classic Just Wondering: hard truths, missing context, and a reminder that sports will always find a way to surprise you. Chapters00:00:00 – One year later and still wondering about the Luka trade00:01:29 – Revisiting the shock of Dončić to the Lakers00:02:13 – What most trade recaps leave out00:03:03 – Luka's playoff defense problem00:03:52 – The $345 million elephant in the room00:04:43 – Conditioning, injuries, and missed games00:05:30 – Why Dallas would have paid him anyway00:06:07 – “If he'd just gotten in shape…”00:06:55 – Sponsor break: Bob's Steak & Chop House00:07:35 – Full Moon Healing Balm and aging realities00:08:20 – Enter Jarell “Big Baby” Miller00:09:02 – A heavyweight career full of suspensions00:10:17 – Failed drug tests and strange explanations00:11:49 – Comebacks, casinos, and global fight stops00:12:38 – Madison Square Garden and the toupee incident00:13:25 – The ammonia bleach explanation00:14:20 – Why boxing always delivers the unbelievable00:15:15 – Sponsors and closing thoughts00:15:37 – Final sign-off

    Eventually, the bill always comes due.In this episode of Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges, Norm Hitzges and Mary Hitzges walk through two modern sports realities that look very different — but are built on the same idea: pushing limits until something breaks.Norm begins with the Dallas Cowboys' looming 2026 salary-cap crisis. With the projected cap sitting just over $300 million, the Cowboys are already $30 million over, before accounting for key free agents they want to keep. Norm explains how Dallas has once again boxed itself into a corner by restructuring contracts, pushing money into the future, and concentrating massive cap hits among a small group of stars. The discussion centers on the uncomfortable math surrounding Kenny Clark's $21 million cap hit, the franchise's reliance on “robbing Peter to pay Paul,” and why restructuring deals feels easy now — and painful later.From there, the episode shifts to college football, where the definition of “career” is quietly being rewritten. Norm breaks down the unusual case of Miami linebacker Mohammad Ture, who is returning for an eighth season of college football at age 25. Thanks to redshirts, injury waivers, COVID eligibility, and NIL money, Norm explains why staying in college can now be more financially rewarding — and less risky — than going pro for some players.It's an episode about consequences, incentives, and systems stretched well beyond what they were designed to handle — whether it's an NFL salary cap or the idea that college football is still just for college kids.Chapters 00:00:00 – Just wondering about another Cowboys cap problem00:01:27 – The 2026 NFL salary cap: $300 million — and Dallas is over00:02:08 – Who still needs to be paid00:02:34 – “Robbing Peter to pay Paul” explained00:03:23 – Cutting contracts to create cap space00:04:12 – Kenny Clark's $21 million problem00:04:56 – Why letting Clark walk creates backlash00:05:37 – Nine players taking up $259 million00:06:26 – Doing the math — and realizing it doesn't work00:06:43 – The March 11 free-agency deadline00:07:23 – Pushing Dak's money down the road00:08:08 – Zach Martin's retirement and dead money reality00:09:01 – Can “busting the budget” actually lead to a Super Bowl?00:09:48 – Sponsor break: Bob's Steak & Chop House00:10:14 – Full Moon Healing Balm00:11:26 – College football's newest oddity00:12:19 – Mohammad Ture returns for his eighth season00:13:18 – How eligibility rules made this possible00:13:56 – Why the NFL isn't as attractive anymore00:14:14 – Making a career out of college football00:14:55 – Sponsors and closing thoughts00:15:36 – Final sign-offCheck us out: patreon.com/sunsetloungedfwInstagram: sunsetloungedfwTiktok: sunsetloungedfwX: SunsetLoungeDFWFB: Sunset Lounge DFW

    On our radar this week… The first-ever recipient of a previously owned Nobel Peace Prize apparently wants to be the Genghis Khan of the 21st Century. In the last week, Trump has  Threatened to invade Venezuela if his hand-picked government doesn't do his bidding;  Stationed an armada near Iran in preparations for an aerial war;  Hinted at an imminent effort at regime change in Cuba;  Doubled-downed on his armed assault on the Constitution in Minneapolis with a change in messaging but little else, He replaced one Nazi-adjacent ICE commander with a fascist-adjacent ICE commander in Minneapolis with vague promises of a future future drawdown on masked thugs roaming the streets, but not now. Sent his FBI and Tulsi Gabbard to investigate the 2020 presidential election in Georgia, a continuation of his b.s. claims of fraud costing him a win over Joe Biden, and  Had his FBI raid the home of a reporter in violation of federal law; and, Arrested reporter Don Lemon for covering a peaceful Minneapolis protest because it “disrupted” a religious service Trump’s war on Minneapolis inspired a powerful anthem from “The Boss.” Bruce Springsteen's “The Streets of Minneapolis” pulls no punches in denouncing Trump, ICE Barbie and Stephen Miller. Due to copyright restrictions we can't play it here … but it's well worth a visit to YouTube. Trump World is also having a direct impact on Michigan politics. Trump has reportedly inserted himself in the battle for the party's gubernatorial nomination, torpedoing frontrunner John James and encouraging 78-year-old rich guy Perry Johnson's newly announced campaign.  Michigan Democrats have launched their first attack ad on independent gubernatorial candidate Mike Duggan even as the party's contests for Attorney General and Secretary of State are all but over.  A Republican dark money group is promoting one of the Democrats in next week's primary to fill a state Senate primary … with the belief that State Board of Education President Pamela Pugh would be easier to beat in the April general election. Democrats, including Saginaw Dem chair Jennifer Austin and Saginaw state Representative Amos O'Neal, are crying “foul.” Senator Elissa Slotkin says Kristi Noem has to go. In a Senate speech, Michigan's junior senator noted she had voted to confirm Noem … but the cabinet member derided as “ICE Barbie” has betrayed fundamental American values. We’re joined this week by political science guru Norm Ornstein, emeritus scholar at the conservative think-tank American Enterprise Institute with his assessment of congressional dysfunction and Trump's drive for one-person government. He is the co-author, with Thomas E. Mann, of It’s Even Worse Than It Looks: How the American Constitutional System Collided With the New Politics of Extremism. Norm is a Minnesota native. He was a child prodigy, graduating from high school when he was fourteen and from college when he was eighteen. He received his BA from the University of Minnesota and PhD in political science from the University of Michigan.  By the mid-1970s, he had become a professor of political science at Catholic University in Washington, D.C., establishing a reputation as an expert on the United States Congress. Ornstein is a frequent contributor to The Washington Post, The Atlantic and the National Journal. He wrote a weekly column for Roll Call for 11 years, and was co-director of the AEI-Brookings Election Reform Project.

    Every decision has a cost. Some just make that cost easier to see.In this episode of Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges, Norm Hitzges takes on two issues that reveal how the NFL really works when money and principles collide.Norm begins with what may be Jerry Jones' biggest offseason headache: George Pickens. The Cowboys' most explosive receiver is now a free agent, coming off his best season and expecting elite money — money that would further tilt Dallas' budget toward the offense while the defense remains thin. Norm breaks down Pickens' complicated history, the franchise-tag math, and why committing long-term dollars to another receiver could once again leave the Cowboys patching together the other side of the ball. History, Norm reminds us, still favors defense — even if Dallas keeps betting the other way.The episode then pivots to something bigger than football strategy: free speech in the NFL. Norm reacts to the league fining Houston linebacker Aziz Al-Shaair for writing “stop the genocide” on his eye black during a playoff game. The fine raises uncomfortable questions about where the league draws its lines, what kinds of expression are encouraged, and which ones come with a price tag. Norm contrasts the NFL's celebration of charitable causes with its punishment of political expression — and wonders aloud what freedom of speech actually costs inside a multibillion-dollar league.It's an episode about choices — who gets paid, who gets fined, and how often the league's priorities are revealed not by words, but by numbers.Chapters00:00:00 – Jerry Jones' offseason problems and today's questions00:01:29 – The George Pickens dilemma begins00:02:22 – From troubled talent to elite production00:03:47 – Pickens' market value and CD Lamb comparisons00:04:33 – Franchise tag vs. long-term commitment00:05:30 – Offensive spending and defensive consequences00:06:15 – Kicking the salary cap down the road00:07:05 – “Busting the budget” — again00:07:52 – Why Super Bowl history still favors defense00:08:59 – Sponsor break and Full Moon Healing Balm00:10:18 – Freedom of speech in the NFL takes another hit00:11:10 – Aziz Al-Shaair fined for his message00:12:07 – NFL Rule 5 and restricted expression00:13:00 – The cost of saying the wrong thing00:13:58 – Sponsor break and closing acknowledgments00:14:19 – Final thoughts and sign-off Check us out: patreon.com/sunsetloungedfwInstagram: sunsetloungedfwTiktok: sunsetloungedfwX: SunsetLoungeDFWFB: Sunset Lounge DFW

    What happens when college sports operate without anyone truly in charge?Exactly what you're seeing now.In this episode of Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges, Norm Hitzges takes on two developments that point to a looming breakdown in college athletics — and neither one has a clean solution.Norm begins with a court ruling involving former Alabama basketball player Charles Bediako, who declared for the NBA Draft, went undrafted, played professionally, and is now seeking to return to college basketball. A judge has temporarily ruled that the NCAA cannot stop him. Norm explains why this isn't just about one player — it's about the precedent. If this door stays open, what stops waves of undrafted football and basketball players from attempting pro careers, failing, and then pouring back into college sports with eligibility intact?From there, Norm pivots to college football's playoff mess. Despite widespread agreement that a 16-team playoff would have fixed most of this year's problems, the SEC and Big Ten failed — again — to reach consensus. Instead, financial motivations, conference power plays, and a proposed 24-team playoff loaded with byes killed progress. The result: a flawed 12-team system that left deserving programs out while frustrating fans who just want fairness and clarity.Throughout the episode, Norm returns to one central theme: the NCAA is powerless, university presidents won't act, and conferences are chasing money at the expense of the sport itself. When no one's willing to lead, chaos isn't a surprise — it's the outcome.Chapters00:00:00 – Just wondering about chaos coming to college sports00:01:38 – The Charles Bediako case and a dangerous precedent00:02:23 – Declaring for the NBA too early — and wanting back in00:03:12 – A judge says the NCAA can't stop it00:04:00 – What happens if this ruling holds00:05:00 – Undrafted players returning to college football00:05:58 – “We are talking chaos here”00:06:57 – The NCAA as a toothless tiger00:07:48 – Sponsor break: Bob's Steak & Chop House00:08:25 – Full Moon Healing Balm and aging realities00:09:10 – Why this year's College Football Playoff failed00:10:11 – Why a 16-team playoff made sense00:11:20 – The Big Ten's 24-team proposal and money motives00:12:20 – Why 24 teams is “way too clumsy”00:13:16 – Deadlines missed and progress stalled00:14:03 – Remembering the four-team playoff disaster00:14:52 – Power brokers vs. fans and the sport itself00:15:16 – Sponsors and closing thoughts00:16:08 – Final sign-offCheck us out: patreon.com/sunsetloungedfwInstagram: sunsetloungedfwTiktok: sunsetloungedfwX: SunsetLoungeDFWFB: Sunset Lounge DFW

    Sometimes a sports day doesn't feel loud — it just feels important.In this episode of Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges, Norm Hitzges breaks down two significant moves by Dallas teams that signal intention, urgency, and calculated risk.First, Norm dives into the Cowboys' hiring of Christian Parker as defensive coordinator. At just 34 years old, Parker arrives with one of the most important credentials in the NFL: five years working under Vic Fangio. Norm explains why Fangio's defensive philosophy — hybrid fronts, disguised coverages, and confusion by design — could be exactly what Dallas needs, and why the current roster actually fits a transition to a 3–4 defense better than many realize. The challenge now becomes roster construction: linebackers, secondary help, and tough contract decisions that will determine whether the scheme can truly take hold.Then the focus shifts to baseball, where the Texas Rangers make a bold trade to acquire Mackenzie Gore, a former top prospect and All-Star starter with undeniable talent — and a troubling pattern. Norm walks through Gore's career arc, from elite first halves to second-half swoons, and asks the central question: can the Rangers unlock consistency where others couldn't? The cost was steep, including top prospects and further damage to an already thin farm system, but the need was undeniable. With an aging rotation, the Rangers are betting upside matters more than depth. It's not optimism or pessimism — it's realism. Two big swings by two franchises trying to solve real problems, knowing full well that neither move comes with guarantees. Chapters00:00:00 – Two major moves in Dallas sports00:01:28 – The Cowboys hire Christian Parker00:02:19 – Why Vic Fangio's influence matters00:02:55 – The Fangio defensive blueprint explained00:03:44 – Why the Cowboys' roster fits a 3–4 defense00:04:28 – Kenny Clark's contract and tough cap decisions00:05:18 – The linebacker problem Dallas must solve00:06:35 – Draft targets and Sonny Styles' potential fit00:07:27 – Why this is a genuinely good day for the Cowboys00:07:49 – Turning to the Rangers and their pitching need00:10:11 – Remembering Mackenzie Gore as a top prospect00:10:52 – How Gore ended up available00:11:22 – Why the Rangers desperately needed a starter00:12:10 – Evaluating the current rotation honestly00:12:47 – Gore's troubling second-half struggles00:13:25 – Can the Rangers fix the inconsistency?00:14:14 – What Dallas gave up in the trade00:15:43 – The prospects involved and long-term cost00:18:01 – Why Washington made the deal now00:18:46 – Gore's role in the Rangers' rotation00:19:27 – The farm system fallout00:19:48 – Why the risk still makes sense00:20:42 – Sponsors and closing thoughts00:21:23 – Final sign-off Check us out: patreon.com/sunsetloungedfwInstagram: sunsetloungedfwTiktok: sunsetloungedfwX: SunsetLoungeDFWFB: Sunset Lounge DFW

    Imagine leaving Earth for two years… and coming back to find Indiana football sitting on top of the college football world.In this episode of Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges, Norm Hitzges takes listeners through one of the most astonishing transformations the sport has ever seen: the Indiana Hoosiers playing for a national championship. A program long defined by losses, obscurity, and broken coaching careers is now on the brink of an undefeated season — something no team in college football history has ever achieved at this scale.Norm breaks down how head coach Kurt Signetti engineered the turnaround, from importing winning culture and key players from James Madison to convincing quarterback Fernando Mendoza to transfer — a move that resulted in a Heisman Trophy winner and a projected No. 1 NFL draft pick. The episode dives deep into the numbers behind Indiana's dominance, including defensive performances that have held every opponent under 24 points and statistical margins usually reserved for dynasties.Norm also offers context for just how absurd this rise is, comparing Indiana's long history of losses to its sudden place among college football's elite. Along the way, Mary Hitzges joins with sponsor messages and reflections, grounding the episode in the familiar rhythm of Just Wondering while the story itself remains anything but familiar.This isn't hype. It's perspective — and a reminder that sometimes sports still manage to surprise us.Chapters00:00:00 – Just wondering about Indiana playing for a national title00:01:22 – Has college football ever seen anything like this?00:02:09 – Indiana's history as a program where careers went to die00:03:10 – Kurt Signetti arrives and brings a winning blueprint00:04:04 – From 713 losses to Big Ten dominance00:05:10 – The numbers that make this season unbelievable00:06:31 – No opponent scores more than 24 points00:07:17 – The astronaut analogy: disbelief in real time00:08:04 – Miami's puncher's chance and final test00:09:01 – Bob's Steak & Chop House sponsor break00:09:38 – Full Moon Healing Balm and personal fixes00:10:16 – Fluent Financial and closing reflections00:10:38 – Why this story may never be repeated   Check us out: patreon.com/sunsetloungedfwInstagram: sunsetloungedfwTiktok: sunsetloungedfwX: SunsetLoungeDFWFB: Sunset Lounge DFW
