The Line You Can’t Beat and the Lines We Write | Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges ft Mac Engel

from The Sunset Lounge DFW · host Stolen Water Media LLC

Norm chops it up with Mac Engel (Fort Worth Star-Telegram, professor of spicy takes) about everything from Pete Rose’s betting shadow to Dallas front-office math. They trade stories from the pre-internet days, then dive into the Rangers’ rebuild without a farm, the Cowboys’ Micah Parsons blockbuster and cap triage, and whether the Mavericks are zigging into defense in a league that zags to 3s. It’s old-school storytelling meets new-school reality: why some trades never stop echoing, how payrolls paint teams into corners, and where fans will actually get their sports news in 20 years (spoiler: your For You page). Smart, fast, and a little dangerous—just how you like it. Check us out: patreon.com/sunsetloungedfw Instagram: sunsetloungedfw Tiktok: sunsetloungedfw X: SunsetLoungeDFW FB: Sunset Lounge DFW
