Is the Kevin Sheehan show, Dentay sitting in for Kevin here on the team 980. You hear that music. It's time to connect with our guy, Ben Standing. He joins us live from Ashburn. Dan Quinn's going to talk here in like 10 minutes. You'll hear that as well. Ben, you've covered a lot of games for the commanders over the years.
