Just Wondering... with Norm Hitzges

Sometimes a Change of Scenery Is the Play | Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges


Listen Later

On this episode of Norm Hitzges’ Just Wondering, Norm rings in the new year by wondering whether a breakup everyone saw coming might actually work out—for both sides.

The Cowboys officially move on from Trayvon Diggs, and Norm walks through how a once-promising marriage unraveled: injuries, disagreements over scheme, rehab disputes, fines, frustration, and a quiet but inevitable divorce. When Green Bay claims Diggs off waivers, Norm asks the real question—does Diggs still have that star cornerback inside him, and is this exactly what the Packers need heading into the playoffs?

From there, Norm shifts gears to remind us that football doesn’t always come down to four quarters, a coaching philosophy, or a season-long narrative. Sometimes, it really does come down to one play—and Norm breaks down a postseason moment where preparation, film study, and perfect execution turned a game on its head.

It’s a thoughtful, clear-eyed look at player fit, timing, accountability, and why change—when it finally happens—can feel overdue and perfectly logical at the same time.
