Norm Hitzges is not sugarcoating this one — the Dallas Cowboys barely escaped disaster against the New York Giants, and Norm has thoughts. In this episode of Just Wondering, Norm breaks down how penalties, blown red-zone opportunities, and the leg of the best kicker in the Milky Way saved Dallas from an embarrassing loss. But don’t relax just yet — the Cowboys’ secondary looked cooked, and Norm wonders what that means as they head into tougher matchups.
Then, it’s “Cream Puff Weekend” in college football, and Norm gleefully recaps the carnage as powerhouse teams ran up the score on their cupcake opponents. But the real headline? UCLA paid $1.2 million to get humiliated by New Mexico — and fired their head coach almost immediately. It’s peak Norm: sharp, funny, and brutally honest.
Tune in for sports insight with a side of wit, and let Norm do what he does best — wonder out loud about the world of football.
