Is Sports Management Losing Its Mind? | Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges

Norm rolls into Halloween wondering what the Cowboys should really do at the trade deadline: buy band-aids for a busted defense or stockpile draft picks and live to fight another day. Along the way, he side-eyes Jerry Jones’ “hundred-billion-dollar” gas talk, floats some pragmatic (and spicy) trade chips, and delivers the line of the day on Mozzie Smith and a steak dinner. Then it’s off to college football, where buyouts balloon, coaches vanish by mid-October, and LSU’s governor casually workshops a hiring process that sounds more like a rally than a search committee. Norm wraps with a Texas-sized hypothetical that would set Austin—and the internet—on fire. Smart, punchy, and just the right amount of “you can’t make this up.” Chapters 00:00 — Trick or Trade? 01:23 — Jerry’s Gas & the Distraction Index 02:54 — Offense Elite, Defense… Not So Much 04:45 — Sell Mode SZN 06:16 — The Mozzie & Bob’s Special 08:02 — Sponsor Break: Bob’s Steak & Chop House 08:39 — Sponsor Break: Full Moon Healing Balm 09:24 — Coaching Carousel Goes Brrr 11:17 — LSU: Governance, But Make It Wild 12:52 — Imagine This in Texas 13:55 — Sponsor Tag 14:16 — Credits & Follow Reminders Check us out: patreon.com/sunsetloungedfw  Instagram: sunsetloungedfw Tiktok: sunsetloungedfw X: SunsetLoungeDFW FB: Sunset Lounge DFW
