Did the Cowboys Just Wake Up? Or Is This a Tease? | Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges
It’s Monday, November 24th, and today Norm is just wondering: when was the last time the Dallas Cowboys delivered a win that made fans scream, throw things, swear they were done, and then pretend they believed all along? Because after falling behind 21–0 — complete with a failed fourth-down attempt, a fumbled punt, multiple drops, and enough self-inflicted pain to qualify as performance art — somehow, someway, the Cowboys decided to be a football team again. From there? Dallas chipped, clawed, and lucked its way back into what turned into one of their most meaningful wins in years — a 24–21 comeback over the defending Super Bowl champs, the division rival Eagles, and the team that’s made the NFC East feel like a one-team league. So… what does it mean?A turning point?A false alarm?A setup for heartbreak on Thanksgiving? Well, buckle up — because Norm breaks down the chaos, the odds, and exactly what a path to the playoffs looks like now that this team has decided losing isn’t as fun as we all feared. For now? We savor it.For exactly three days.

We’re Not Ready for Christmas and Neither Is the NFL | The Clubhouse Podcast
Welcome back to The Clubhouse Podcast, where the sports are real, the predictions are questionable, and the Christmas decorations go up way too early. This week, Rob, Alex, and Don debate the truly important things in life: whether Christmas lights belong before Thanksgiving, why Banana Ball is slowly taking over the universe, and how the NFL expects anyone to predict games when teams play like they’re on NyQuil. We break down NCAA football chaos, NFL Week 12 matchups, and which lines are guaranteed to destroy your betting confidence. Then we detour into TV, movies, and pro wrestling — because honestly, our attention span is one bad officiating call long. We also discuss ESPN’s upcoming Stuart Scott documentary (BOOYAH. Yes, we’re emotional. No, we’re not crying — YOU’RE crying). Sprinkle in wrestling drama, college football playoff conspiracy energy, and Don’s ongoing campaign to have his Steelers taken seriously — and you’ve got another perfect unhinged episode. Grab a drink. Turn on the jellyfish LED lights you swore you wouldn’t buy. And let’s get into it.

Can one Player REALLY be the Difference? | Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges
It’s Friday, November 21st, and Norm Hitzges is just wondering if this might actually be the perfect time for the Cowboys to catch the Eagles. With All-Pro right tackle Lane Johnson sidelined and the Philly offensive line suddenly mortal, Norm digs into just how much one lineman has meant to a franchise that’s gone 96–41 with him and 12–23 without him. He walks through the Eagles’ strange season: a defense that grew up faster than expected, an offense stuck in the mud, whispers about Jalen Hurts, and yet a ridiculous 51–14 record with Hurts under center since 2022. Then Norm turns his attention back home: the Cowboys sitting at 4-5-1, a brutal three-game gauntlet of Eagles, Chiefs, and Lions on deck, and Vegas setting the over/under for Dallas wins at just 6.5. Is there really a playoff run in there, or is this just another year of “maybe next time”? Along the way, you’ll hear from show partners Fluent Financial, Bob’s Steak & Chop House, and Full Moon Healing Balm, and get the full Norm treatment: perspective, numbers, and just enough optimism to keep you watching on Sunday.

⭐ So…Are the Cowboys Good, or Did They Just Beat the Raiders? ⭐ | Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges
Norm is just wondering whether Cowboys fans should actually be excited after that Monday Night Football beatdown — or if we should all calm down because, well… it was the Raiders. Dak looks sensational, the offense is rolling, the defense finally remembered football exists, and suddenly the playoff window isn’t totally boarded shut. Plus, Norm takes a chaotic stroll through the wild world of college football, where preseason favorites have vanished, the Heisman race hit shuffle mode, and quarterbacks are multiplying like TikTok conspiracy theories. One win, one pulse of hope, and one Dumb and Dumber reference later — we’re asking the important question: So you’re telling me there’s a chance?

Cowboys Need a Win & Texas Needs a Miracle | Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges
Today on Just Wondering, Norm wakes up and chooses violence — politely — by asking Cowboy fans a simple, soul-shaking question: Do you realize how catastrophically important tonight’s game is? Win, and hope survives. Lose, and we’re talking mock drafts, emotional support queso, and whether tanking is a strategy or a coping mechanism. Norm also wonders how in the name of burnt orange pride we’ve arrived at mid-November with three Texas teams staring at the college football playoffs… and Texas isn’t one of them. Yes, the Longhorn fans may need emotional support brisket, because the math ain't mathing, and penalties, missed throws, dropped passes and shattered expectations are starting to feel like a seasonal allergy. But hey — hope springs eternal. Or irrational.

Broken Mics, Bad Beats & Betting Regrets | The Clubhouse Podcast 16-20
On this episode of The Clubhouse Podcast, Rob spends the first few minutes flying solo and battling technical gremlins before Alex arrives just in time to prove microphones are still optional. From NFL chaos and breaking news to college football spirals and bizarre broadcast decisions (looking at you, “reality show Sunday Night Football”), the guys dive into the week in sports with equal parts outrage, sarcasm, stats, and questionable life choices. We cover injuries, spreads, betting heartbreaks, unexpected Dolphins resurrection energy, the ongoing “is Jacksonville actually good?” debate, and why the Giants might accidentally backdoor-cover their way to emotional damage. Then it’s TV, movies, streaming news, weird Hollywood decisions, and whatever the hell is happening with SNL.

Rebuild Mode in Dallas: Maybe Colleges Should Lend Us Some Buyout Money | Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges
Norm Hitzges is just wondering what’s next for the Dallas Mavericks after the Luka and Nico departures—and how colleges keep cutting massive checks to fired football coaches. From rebuilding around Cooper Flagg and Derek Lively to jaw-dropping buyouts like Jimbo Fisher’s $77 million payday, Norm breaks down how sports franchises and universities handle their biggest (and priciest) mistakes. The Mavs may be starting from scratch, but at least no one’s getting $50 million to not show up to work.

🏀 Fire Nico: The Fallout from the Mavericks’ Boldest Trade Ever
Norm Hitzges is just wondering if the Mavericks fan base can finally start to heal now that GM Nico Harrison is gone. From trading Luka Doncic to the Lakers to the injuries that derailed the dream, Norm dives into how one decision turned Dallas upside down. He revisits the highs of Nico’s tenure—the Finals run, savvy trades, and gutsy calls—and the crash that followed. Now, with Luka thriving in Los Angeles and Dallas reeling, Norm asks: was Nico truly the villain… or just the fall guy?   Chapters: 00:00:01 – The Nico Era Ends 00:01:21 – “Fire Nico” and the Fallout 00:02:10 – The Doncic Trade Backlash 00:03:49 – Injuries, Frustrations, and Fan Fury 00:05:15 – Remembering Nico’s Wins 00:07:30 – The Trade That Broke Dallas 00:08:24 – Where Do the Mavs Go From Here? 00:09:17 – Sponsors: Bob’s Steak & Chop House, Full Moon Healing Balm 00:11:49 – Closing Thoughts: Just Wondering     Check us out: patreon.com/sunsetloungedfw Instagram: sunsetloungedfw Tiktok: sunsetloungedfw X: SunsetLoungeDFW FB: Sunset Lounge DFW

Rebuilding or Retooling? Evan Grant Breaks Down the Rangers’ Next Steps | Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges
On this episode of Just Wondering, Norm Hitzges sits down with longtime Texas Rangers beat reporter Evan Grant to examine one of the most pivotal offseasons the franchise has faced in years. With Bruce Bochy and Mike Maddox gone, Skip Schumacher stepping in, and payroll reductions looming, the Rangers must decide whether they are still building to contend—or preparing to reset. Evan offers candid insight into the front office’s thinking, the financial squeeze tied to TV revenue losses, and what roster changes may look like—from Adolis García and Jonah Heim, to a potential move involving Marcus Semien, Corey Seager, or even Jacob deGrom. They also tackle whether the Rangers’ offensive philosophy has stalled, how Josh Jung and Jake Burger fit into the new approach, and whether the organization can finally develop its own pitching. Along the way: cat diplomacy, rescue dogs, and a little baseball soul-searching. A thoughtful and revealing conversation for any Rangers fan wondering what comes next.   Chapters 00:00:00 – Norm Sets the Stage: GM Meetings, Offseason Uncertainty 00:00:33 – Title Sponsor: Fluent Financial 00:01:35 – Introducing Evan Grant: Perspective from Decades on the Rangers Beat 00:02:32 – Bruce Bochy’s Exit: Mutual Decision or Push Out the Door? 00:03:54 – The Loss of Mike Maddox and What “Respect” Means in Baseball 00:06:28 – Will Coaching Changes Actually Hurt the 2026 Team? 00:07:57 – The Real Issue: Payroll Cuts and Financial Restraints 00:09:49 – TV Revenue Decline and Attendance Drop: The Business Side 00:10:57 – Who Goes?

$307 Million and Still Short on Change | Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges
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 “painful” to “oh no.” He also reflects on the tragic death of Marshawn Nealon — a moment that reminds us the sport we obsess over is still played by human beings with struggles bigger than the scoreboard. It’s a sobering episode, a little biting, a little grim, and very Norm.

Once everyone’s systems reboot, the guys dive into the World Series, NFL madness, unexpected movie rampages, and a K-Pop Demon Hunter intervention that changes lives. We hit college football recaps, wild trade reactions, betting picks that none of us want accountability for, and some very strong wrestling takes—including why Canadian Piñatas might be the greatest phrase ever spoken. It’s chaos, it’s sports, it’s movies, it’s wrestling, and it’s very live. Welcome to Season 16, Episode 19440.

MLS Playoffs, Champions League Action, and Weston McKennie | Sunset Soccer Club
It’s Episode #2 of The Sunset Soccer Club. We kick this episode off with some news and observations from a big Tuesday of action in the Champions League, featuring Real Madrid vs Liverpool and PSG vs Bayern Munich. Liverpool looks to have found their form, while Bayern proves they belong in the conversation with the top teams in the tournament.  Our guest this week is none other than Arman Kafai, writer of the Football Analytics Musings newsletter on Substack, discussing the drama of the MLS Playoffs. With five of the eight series of first-round matches headed to a decisive third game, Arman shares his thoughts on whether or not Cincinnati FC can bounce back, Portland’s scrapiness vs San Diego, and the colossal failure it would be for Inter Miami not to advance.  The show wraps up with our USMNT Player Profile of the week. This edition takes a look at Weston McKennie, the hometown kid from Little Elm, TX, playing for Juventus in Serie A.  Have a question for the show? Email us at sunsetsoccerclub@stolenwatermedia.com.
