from The Sunset Lounge DFW · host Stolen Water Media LLC
The Cowboys' Cap Chaos: Norm’s Not Holding Back 💰🏈 On this episode of Just Wondering, Norm Hitzges is serving up hot takes.

In classic Norm fashion, the conversation is equal parts insightful and brutally honest. The duo contrasts Dallas' delay tactics with the Philadelphia Eagles' chessboard-level strategy, asking the big question: Why can’t the Cowboys learn from their own mistakes?
