Was That a Football Game or a Cry for Help? | Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges

Norm is just wondering… what exactly were the Cowboys trying to accomplish in New York? After another joyless, mistake-filled loss to the Giants, Norm breaks down a season that somehow managed to be worse than it already felt. From a defense that couldn’t stop anything, to penalties, turnovers, and the ever-popular “culture building” excuse, this one had it all—except competence. There’s talk of meaningless records, wasted seasons, free-agent decisions, and the haunting image of Jerry Jones sitting alone in his suite, watching it all unravel. Norm finds a few bright spots (yes, there were some), wonders aloud about the future at quarterback, and questions whether this team has any real path back to relevance. Along the way, Mary joins in, sponsors get their due, and Norm shares a very personal—and surprisingly useful—side story that only he could make work in the middle of a Cowboys rant. Another season down. More questions than answers. And as always… Just Wondering.
