The Art of the Delay | Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges

What do you get when one of the sharpest minds in sports radio locks onto the contract chaos surrounding Micah Parsons and the Dallas Cowboys? You get fireworks. And facts. And maybe a new book title for Jerry Jones. In this episode, Norm Hitzges dives headfirst into the Friday bombshell that Parsons reportedly wants out. Norm—equal parts sage, sports savant, and snark connoisseur—unpacks the Cowboys' signature move: waiting until it’s almost too late to get a deal done. From dissecting Jerry and Stephen Jones’ puzzling negotiation style to questioning why someone would even think of trading away their best defensive player, Norm guides us through the mess with charm, insight, and the occasional mic drop. As always, there’s more than just analysis here—there’s Norm-al wisdom. And it’s wrapped in wit. 🗂️ CHAPTERS 0:00 – What the Hell, Cowboys?
