Hey, listen, if you've got to go, we understand, but make sure you bring the Sports Hub app with you so you can hear more of Tudger and Hardy. That's what I want on my tombstone. On the Sports Hub. Mark Vandemier has a hard out at 14, so we're going to get right to him. He's the voice of the Houston Texans. You can see us on YouTube. Subscribe to 985, the Sports up on YouTube.

He's got local connections.
