Norm Hitzges is back with another hard-hitting, insight-packed episode of Just Wondering — and this time, he’s laser-focused on all things DFW sports.

⚾ The Texas Rangers hit the All-Star break with more questions than answers. Injuries, inconsistencies, and a tricky trade deadline loom large. Is Chris Young ready to roll the dice?

🏀 Then there's Cooper Flagg — the teenage phenom already drawing LeBron-sized expectations before he’s even played a minute. Norm pumps the brakes with some wise words for fans eager to crown him too soon.

🏈 And it wouldn’t be a DFW episode without a little Cowboys drama. Norm lays into the ongoing Micah Parsons contract saga, sending a not-so-subtle message to Jerry Jones (wherever he is — yacht, bunker, alien spaceship… who knows?).

From behind-the-scenes strategy to front-page speculation, Norm delivers it all with his signature sharp wit, backed by Fluent Financial and Bob’s Steak and Chop House (because great sports talk pairs well with great steak).

Once upon a time, American tennis ruled the world—McEnroe was yelling, Connors was winning, and Sampras had the smoothest serve this side of Wimbledon. Now? Let’s just say… pickleball might be giving tennis a run for its money.

In this nostalgic and thought-provoking episode of Just Wondering, legendary broadcaster Norm Hitzges dives deep into “The Decline of American Tennis.” From the glory days of packed stadiums and national pride to today’s dwindling spotlight, Norm breaks down how—and why—tennis slipped from the American sports throne.
