    From Empty Seats to Eight-Figure Ads — and a Mavericks Reset | Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges

    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 themes 01:26 – The origin of the Super Bowl name 02:10 – From $12 tickets to $10M commercials 02:58 – 32,000 empty seats at Super Bowl I 04:57 – Why the full game footage was never saved 05:53 – Max McGee’s hungover Super Bowl legend 06:49 – Super Bowl 60 matchup and betting context 08:02 – Why defense still wins Super Bowls 08:56 – Transition to the Mavericks’ big move 11:09 – Anthony Davis traded and what it really means 11:54 – Criticism fatigue and why Dallas wanted out 13:20 – What the Mavericks actually received 14:15 – The real prize: $44M in cap flexibility 15:40 – Following the Oklahoma City rebuild model 16:21 – Pieces Dallas still likes going forward 17:18 – What Dallas ultimately got for Luka 18:27 – Sponsors and closing thoughts 19:19 – Final sign-off   Check us out: patreon.com/sunsetloungedfw Instagram: sunsetloungedfw Tiktok: sunsetloungedfw X: SunsetLoungeDFW FB: 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.

    Robbing Peter to Pay Paul — and Making a Career Out of College Football | Just Wondering with Norm

    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.

    The Luka Trade Revisited — And What Everyone Still Misses | Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges

    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.   Chapters 00:00:00 – One year later and still wondering about the Luka trade 00:01:29 – Revisiting the shock of Dončić to the Lakers 00:02:13 – What most trade recaps leave out 00:03:03 – Luka’s playoff defense problem 00:03:52 – The $345 million elephant in the room 00:04:43 – Conditioning, injuries, and missed games 00:05:30 – Why Dallas would have paid him anyway 00:06:07 – “If he’d just gotten in shape…” 00:06:55 – Sponsor break: Bob’s Steak & Chop House 00:07:35 – Full Moon Healing Balm and aging realities 00:08:20 – Enter Jarell “Big Baby” Miller 00:09:02 – A heavyweight career full of suspensions 00:10:17 – Failed drug tests and strange explanations 00:11:49 – Comebacks, casinos, and global fight stops 00:12:38 – Madison Square Garden and the toupee incident 00:13:25 – The ammonia bleach explanation 00:14:20 – Why boxing always delivers the unbelievable 00:15:15 – Sponsors and closing thoughts 00:15:37 – Final sign-off 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.

    When the Bills Come Due — in Dallas and College Football | Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges

    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.

    The Cost of Keeping Stars — and the Price of Speaking Up | Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges

    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.

    When Nobody’s in Charge, Chaos Is Inevitable | Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges

    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.

    Two Big Swings and a Lot to Prove | Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges

    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.   Chapters 00:00:00 – Two major moves in Dallas sports 00:01:28 – The Cowboys hire Christian Parker 00:02:19 – Why Vic Fangio’s influence matters 00:02:55 – The Fangio defensive blueprint explained 00:03:44 – Why the Cowboys’ roster fits a 3–4 defense 00:04:28 – Kenny Clark’s contract and tough cap decisions 00:05:18 – The linebacker problem Dallas must solve 00:06:35 – Draft targets and Sonny Styles’ potential fit 00:07:27 – Why this is a genuinely good day for the Cowboys 00:07:49 – Turning to the Rangers and their pitching need 00:10:11 – Remembering Mackenzie Gore as a top prospect 00:10:52 – How Gore ended up available 00:11:22 – Why the Rangers desperately needed a starter 00:12:10 – Evaluating the current rotation honestly 00:12:47 – Gore’s troubling second-half struggles 00:13:25 – Can the Rangers fix the inconsistency? 00:14:14 – What Dallas gave up in the trade 00:15:43 – The prospects involved and long-term cost 00:18:01 – Why Washington made the deal now 00:18:46 – Gore’s role in the Rangers’ rotation 00:19:27 – The farm system fallout 00:19:48 – Why the risk still makes sense 00:20:42 – Sponsors and closing thoughts 00:21:23 – Final sign-off   Check us out: patreon.com/sunsetloungedfw Instagram: sunsetloungedfw Tiktok: sunsetloungedfw X: SunsetLoungeDFW FB: 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.

    When Indiana Became the Favorite | Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges

    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.
