Introduction

There's a particular flavor to sports culture in Texas that goes far beyond box scores and championship rings. I Guess That Leaves Mark digs into that world through the eyes of Mark Wright, who spent two decades on the sidelines covering high school football after growing up as the kid always chosen last. This isn't a typical analysis show, though you'll certainly get his seasoned take on current events. Instead, it's a personal, often hilarious, and slightly twisted tour of life inside a sports-obsessed state. The stories range from the poignant chaos of Friday night lights to the weirdness of growing up in the nineties, all filtered through the perspective of a writer who's seen it from the bottom up and the inside out. Each episode feels like a conversation with a sharp, self-deprecating friend who knows the landscape intimately-the passion, the absurdity, and the very human moments that happen off the field. Tune in for a podcast that connects the personal history, the local obsession, and the larger, often ridiculous, sports world in a way that's both thoughtful and unexpectedly funny.
