He gave her that nickname and she loved it

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

One of the few in DFW media who consistently Jerry Jones accountable all these years. I'm going to miss his classic rants.

Knowledgeable but can't get rid of that irritating New Yawk cabbie accent.

It fit her perfect. Shocked she didn’t go further even though I disliked her.

My days of listening to Norm began with him on KERA radio, then followed to his KLIF gig when he did mornings @6 AM.

My first time listening to his NFL Draft coverage was in 1987; I was in my sophomore government class, concealing a Walkman, when he called out Danny Noonan to the Cowboys. What I remember most, was at the end of round two, Norm starts campaigning for Dallas to strongly consider Stephen Baker in the third, citing his “little birdies” linking him to the Giants (I’m guessing Goose). I mean, I’m sixteen so when NY snagged Baker later in the day, it resonated.

Haven’t missed a draft since. And though I’ve always loved the Cowboys, I’d have to credit this guy with getting me started. Norm, for better or worse, has been a staple in my sports life for 40 years.

His takes weren’t always easy for me to stomach, but I found him to be fair and always prepared. It will be an adjustment, to be sure.

Luckily he'll still be doing draft coverage.

Wait.. where did Sturm go?

That's news to me too.

Sturm is still at the Ticket. But he is no longer writing for the Athletic.

I am surprised too specially with her way of thinking

 

[Cowboys5217]

I posted it in the second post.

Sorry, sometimes I skim past and miss things.

 

[rnr_honeybadger]

Ah will miss Norm. The Little ticket won’t be the same without him. Will Donnie be taking over his show?

 

[Zordon]

 

[CowboyManDan]

I will miss him greatly! Living in New England, I wasn't able to listen regularly until iHeartRadio and the like made it possible, but even that's been very many years now!

Really like Hitzges. In an entertainment business the guy entertained . Not like these blowhards on ESPN now with fake debates and faux outrage . Enjoy retirement Norm you entertained and educated the fan .
