It’s Thanksgiving week, which means football, family, and pretending you’re not silently judging everyone at the table. On today’s episode of Just Wondering, Norm asks the big seasonal question: What on earth is going on with the Kansas City Chiefs? Are they collapsing? Are the Cowboys suddenly good? Are we all sleep-deprived and delusional? Quite possibly yes on all counts.

Norm breaks down playoff math that somehow feels like advanced calculus, compares two teams desperately trying to look competent, and politely implies that both could either make a run or implode gloriously. From Patrick Mahomes’ accuracy crisis to the Cowboys’ “maybe-sort-of-kinda-fixed” defense, we’re sorting through the chaos so you don't have to.

Grab a plate and a pie slice big enough to emotionally support you — it’s football season.
