Can One Game Break Baseball? | Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges

Norm Hitzges grabs a bat, a calculator, and a fainting couch to process Shohei Ohtani’s “are-you-kidding-me” clincher: six scoreless with 10 punchouts and three moonshots to broom Milwaukee and send the Dodgers to the Fall Classic. Greatest single game by any pro ballplayer… ever? Norm makes the case—with tape-measure receipts, history comps, and a reminder why the Dodgers cut a $700M check without blinking. Then it’s why L.A.’s rotation is a cheat code (Snell? Glasnow? Yamamoto? …Ohtani?), how they steamrolled the league’s big winners, and why Toronto should keep the champagne on ice. Come for the stats; stay for the gentle sarcasm and the sound of baseball writers rewriting their “best ever” lists in real time.

Roommates, to have or not to have | Beer 30 Sports O'clock

Bri and Ziggy talk about hockey and Ziggy says a bad word about women. Community fridge rules are simple “don’t touch my stuff”. Ziggy goes on a rant about his favorite team after a win. Ziggy likes a stout and it’s golden. Roommates are overrated, or are they? They talk about the White House construction and Bri has a soapbox, who knew. Oh and not one mention of Swifty

Maybe Jerry Was Right (But Let’s Not Make a Habit of It) | Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges

Norm Hitzges wakes up on a Monday just wondering if Jerry Jones might’ve accidentally told the truth. After the Cowboys outgunned the Commanders in a game that went from “uh oh” to “oh wow” in three plays, Norm takes us through the anatomy of a good ol’ fashioned Dallas redemption arc — complete with Dak Prescott magic, George Pickens highlights, and the Cowboys briefly looking like they actually practiced defense.
But don’t worry — college football’s here to ruin the mood. Norm dives into the firing frenzy across the NCAA, where coaches are being tossed out faster than empty beer cups at the Cotton Bowl. Between NIL chaos, impatient alumni, and point spreads deciding careers, it’s a brave new world where winning the game isn’t enough — you’d better cover, too.
So pour yourself some coffee (or something stronger), and join Norm as he unpacks why the Cowboys’ season might not be dead yet — and why every college football coach probably needs a therapist on payroll.

The NFC Least and Other Great Disappointments | Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges

Norm takes a long, exasperated look at what used to be the pride of the NFL — the NFC East — and now looks more like a neighborhood HOA argument with shoulder pads. The Eagles can’t stop anyone, the Commanders forgot how to command, the Giants exist (barely), and Jerry Jones is out here celebrating 83 with optimism so strong it might need to be drug-tested.
But Norm doesn’t stop at the gridiron. He pivots to the Mavericks, where predictions are as shaky as Kyrie’s return date and everyone’s pretending Klay Thompson is still Klay Thompson. Through stats, sarcasm, and a lifetime of knowing better, Norm dissects how Texas sports teams always manage to make things… interesting, if not good.
Because when the Cowboys’ best defensive play is Jerry’s public relations, and the Mavericks’ best hope is a teenager named Cooper, you just have to laugh — and then wonder, as Norm does, what on earth happened to winning.

Dak’s Doing His Job… So Why Are the Cowboys Losing? | Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges

In this Episode of Just Wondering, Norm tackles a frustrating reality for Cowboys fans: Dak Prescott might be having the best season of his career… and it still might not matter.
With surgical precision (and a dash of disbelief), Norm dissects how the Cowboys’ historically bad defense is wasting an MVP-caliber performance from Dak — a quarterback now rivaling Aikman, Romo, and Staubach in the record books. He also zooms out to explore wasted potential across the sports landscape — from the Texas Rangers’ pitching perfection with no playoffs to college football chaos, where high expectations and the transfer portal are chewing up coaches faster than you can say “buyout.”
Smart, sarcastic, and packed with stats, this episode is a masterclass in how great seasons get squandered — and what it says about modern sports.

Score 30 or Stay Home | Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges

In this thought-provoking episode of Just Wondering, Norm Hitzges tackles the harsh reality facing the Dallas Cowboys: a team with the league’s top offense — and the worst defense money can buy.
After another collapse against Carolina, Norm breaks down how the Cowboys’ inability to make stops has forced Dak Prescott and company into weekly shootouts just to stay alive. He calls out the painful “Revenge of Rico Dowdle,” who ran wild against his former team, and questions how long this all-offense formula can hold up.
Then, Norm shifts gears ⛳ to discuss Tiger Woods’ latest surgery and what it means for the golf legend’s uncertain future. With seven back surgeries, two Achilles repairs, and only three wins since 2014, is this the twilight of Tiger’s playing days — or the setup for one final miracle comeback?

The Case of the Accidental Finger | Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges

Norm Hitzges is back and wondering—do Cowboys fans really know who’s holding this team together behind the scenes? This episode starts with some well-deserved love for two unsung heroes: offensive line coach Connor Riley and receivers coach Junior Adams, who somehow turned a patchwork lineup of backups into a 37–22 beatdown of the Jets.
Norm dives into the brilliance (and borderline wizardry) it takes to coach your ninth-best offensive lineman into keeping Dak Prescott upright and your sixth-string wideout into looking like a first-round pick. It’s football analysis meets admiration—and maybe just a little disbelief.
Then, just when things seem serious, we get a left turn into The Case of the Accidental Finger—Jerry Jones’ now-infamous “wrong hand gesture” incident that cost him $250,000 and a permanent spot in meme history. Norm breaks it down with equal parts humor and side-eye, questioning just how “accidental” that finger really was.
From X’s and O’s to oops and oh-nos, this one’s classic Norm: sharp, funny, and straight to the point (no pun intended).

How will Chris Young Play Baseball Sudoku | Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges

Norm Hitzges is wondering — and not quietly — how the Texas Rangers went from World Series champs to looking like they misplaced their offense in a junk drawer.
In this episode, Norm breaks down the mess General Manager Chris Young finds himself in: a team that can pitch but can’t hit, an owner allergic to the luxury tax, and a farm system that’s about as fertile as a parking lot. He calls it “the box,” and Chris Young is stuck squarely inside it, armed with little more than duct tape, prayer, and a spreadsheet labeled “2026: Good Luck.”
Norm walks through the impossible math of building a contender without money, prospects, or trade bait — and still finds time to hype a Mavericks rookie who might be the best thing to hit Dallas since Luka’s step-back three. It’s classic Norm: sharp, funny, a little grumpy, and all truth.

She picked the right Diggs | Beer 30 Sports O'clock

Bri’s back like she never left — and Ziggy’s been holding down the barstool in her absence. This week’s Beer 30 Sports O’Clock is part therapy session, part sports rant, and part haunted house confessional.
Bri breaks down her favorite tracks from THE Album (yes, that one) and her wild trip to Florida, where she somehow missed the game but didn’t miss the jump scares. Ziggy’s convinced her horror-loving friend might secretly be on an FBI watchlist, and honestly… he might have a point.
Meanwhile, the WNBA playoffs heat up, and Ziggy goes full conspiracy theorist on the commissioner. The NFL is chaos, college football’s on fire (literally and metaphorically), and the U is back — but Bri definitely wasn’t watching. Then the beers start flowing: a surprising sour Ziggy actually likes, a gose that tastes like regret, and a pumpkin lager that might’ve unlocked childhood memories. Somewhere in there, Cardi B “picks the right one,” and Ziggy tries to explain TSA to Bri — it goes about as well as you’d think.

One Hopeless Fanbase (It isn't the Cowboys) | Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges

Norm Hitzges is fresh from MetLife Stadium — and if you’re a Jets fan, you might want to cover your eyes. In this episode of Just Wondering, Norm breaks down the Cowboys’ 37–22 beatdown of the New York Jets with all the charm, humor, and brutal honesty we’ve come to love.
From wearing his buddy’s Jets shirt (for “diplomatic reasons”) to watching fans file out of the stadium like it was a funeral, Norm captures every ounce of the chaos — the fumbles, the flags, the failed faith, and yes, the guy whose jersey literally read HOPELESS.
Between analyzing Dak Prescott’s precision, Ryan Flournoy’s breakout, and the Jets’ knack for self-sabotage, Norm still finds time to drop a few gems about steak, skincare, and retirement — because balance is key.
It’s sports talk meets storytelling, with a dash of snark and a whole lot of truth.

Outrage Is Paid; Halftime Is Spanish | The Clubhouse Ep 16-15

Rob and Alex are back in The Clubhouse broadcasting live from the Sunset Lounge DFW, and chaos reigns — in college football, the NFL, and apparently, Rob’s living room lighting setup.
This week, the guys break down a wild weekend in NCAA Football where upsets were everywhere and Florida State’s loss wrecked more brackets than hearts. The NFL is just as unhinged: ties, turf injuries, fantasy heartbreaks, and coaches making galaxy-brain decisions.
Then the conversation takes a sharp left turn (as it always does) into Super Bowl halftime drama — yes, Bad Bunny is in, and no, Alex is not here for your outrage. The duo also talk movie news, Taylor Swift’s cinematic takeover, Maggie Gyllenhaal’s Frankenstein remake, Nickelback wrestling bears (kind of), and Rob’s latest tech purchase: the Ninja Thirsty — a sparkling water machine that might be his new cohost.
Top it all off with wrestling updates, streaming picks, and the kind of off-the-cuff wit that only The Clubhouse can deliver.

Are the Jets Hopeless, or Just Cursed? | Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges

Norm Hitzges dives headfirst into the misery that is New York Jets football—an endless carousel of quarterbacks, penalties, and heartbreak—now handed to new head coach Aaron Glenn. Can the former undersized cornerback bring real change, or is this franchise doomed by history?
Along the way, Norm contrasts the Jets’ struggles with the Dallas Cowboys’ potential this season, offering sharp takes on what both teams’ futures may hold. And just when the gridiron talk gets heavy, Norm pivots to baseball to unpack Bruce Bochy’s surprise exit from the Texas Rangers—why it happened, what it means, and how the team moves forward.
It’s classic Norm: insightful, blunt, and packed with stories only he can tell.

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

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.

Overtime Glory, Sideline Disgrace | Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges

If you like your sports with a side of chaos, this one’s for you. Norm dives headfirst into the Cowboys–Packers 40–40 overtime tie — a game so bonkers it felt like Madden on rookie mode. Dak Prescott? Nearly flawless. Brian Schottenheimer? Calling plays like he had the cheat codes. The defense? Well… let’s just say Green Bay found plenty of daylight.
Then it’s off the field and onto the greens at the Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black, where the competition was world-class but the fans were straight-up embarrassing. Yep, we’re talking vulgar chants, heckling during swings, and comedian Heather McMahon somehow thinking “F-U Rory” was a good rally cry. Spoiler: it wasn’t.
It’s Cowboys brilliance, Cowboys blunders, and a Ryder Cup that turned into a case study on why sportsmanship still matters.

Micah’s Revenge and the Cowboys’ Annual Meltdown Tour | Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges

Norm Hitzges is back, wondering aloud (and loudly) if the Packers are suddenly Super Bowl material now that Micah Parsons has swapped jerseys. Mary pops in with sponsor reads that remind you retirement planning is somehow less stressful than watching Dallas’ offensive line try to block. Between Vince Lombardi nostalgia, Aaron Rodgers ghosts, and college football coaches dropping like flies, this episode serves up the full buffet: history lessons, hot takes, and just enough Cowboy doom-and-gloom to ruin your nachos.
If you like sarcasm sprinkled over stats and want to hear why Kevontae Turpin might be Dallas’ last hope for dignity, this one’s for you.

Football Trauma Meets Film Therapy | The Clubhouse 16-14

We have another special guest this week in filmmaker Josh David Jordan to talk about his new film as well as our normal shenanigans, and MORE!
🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up? Check out StreamYard and get $10 discount! 😍 https://streamyard.com/pal/d/4776053739487232
Welcome to The Clubhouse — where Rob Ervin, Don Ford, Alex, and special guest filmmaker Josh David Jordan prove that sports talk and film nerding can co-exist without a referee.
This episode takes you from College Football week 4 highs (and way too many lows) to NFL predictions that are either genius or completely delusional — depending on how your fantasy lineup looks Monday morning. Spoiler: Dallas fans won’t like what’s said about Green Bay.
On the flip side, Josh David Jordan pulls back the curtain on his film El Tonto Porcristo, shares stories from the grind of indie filmmaking, and sprinkles in enough Guillermo del Toro references to make you believe that monsters and movie magic are still alive. By the time the crew debates the Criterion Collection like it’s the playoff committee, you’ll be hooked — whether you’re here for the sports hot takes, the cinephile therapy session, or just the nostalgia of Scrubs reruns.
Because if there’s one thing this podcast proves, it’s that sports heartbreak and the film industry hustle are basically the same game — unpredictable, frustrating, and addictive.

Fourth-and-Long Face: Norm’s Cowboys Reality Check | Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges

Norm wakes up choosing honesty and film study. With Mary riding shotgun (and running the board), “Just Wondering” turns into “Just Wondering How This Team Scores.” From C.D. Lamb’s ankle to a pass rush that couldn’t pop a balloon, Norm sifts through Pro Football Focus grades, calls out the talent gaps, and wonders aloud if “pretty good” Dak can carry a not-so-pretty roster. It’s witty, cranky, and very Norm—peppered with Mary’s sponsor reads, steakhouse cravings, and a plea for chunk plays before the Packers and Lions show up with receipts.

Happy Birthday, Mary — Sorry About the Game | Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges

Norm’s had it. The Cowboys went full “piece of dung,” and he’s here to vent so you don’t have to throw your remote through the TV. In this Monday episode, Norm celebrates Mary’s birthday (sort of), then rips into the Dallas Cowboys like a man who’s seen too many decades of bad football. Zero pass rush, busted coverage, Dak’s dink-and-dunk festival — nothing escapes the wrath of Norm.
And because Norm can’t just stop at football, he piles on the Texas Rangers too, lamenting their ability to waste perfect pitching like it’s an art form. If you’ve ever yelled “RUN THE BALL!” at your screen, this one’s for you.
