Is it just us... or are the Dallas Cowboys doing everything but paying Micah Parsons?

In this episode, Norm Hitzges dives headfirst into the swirling drama at Cowboys training camp, where the Jones family seems to think negotiating is best done through passive-aggressive press quotes and questionable math. (No, Jerry, Micah didn’t miss six games.) Norm takes us behind the scenes of what should be a no-brainer deal—and breaks down how the Cowboys are once again making it harder than it has to be.

From salary cap strategy to ego management, Norm unpacks it all with his signature blend of insight, sarcasm, and "Did-they-really-say-that?" disbelief. Then, he shifts gears to let you in on how to get your hands on his famous football picks for the upcoming season (spoiler: they’ve been very profitable).

If you’ve ever shouted “JUST PAY THE MAN!” at your TV—or wondered why NFL teams love waiting until the last second—this episode is your playbook.
