October is the time of year when the leaves change colors into a vibrant collage of orange, red and yellow, significant others begrudgingly pick apples, pumpkins and gourds at their partner’s behest, everything from lattes to Twinkies is pumpkin spice, everyone brags about their Halloween costume (with only some living up to the hype), and Joe Buck can be seen and heard on TV on a seemingly nightly basis.

Kyle Brandt’s Career of Taking Chances Continues to Pay Off

As top running back at Stevenson High School in the Chicago suburb of Lincolnshire, Illinois, Kyle Brandt would strut down the halls in his letterman jacket and blast Pearl Jam from his eight-disc CD changer as he drove around in his Jeep.

But then something struck him during his senior year as he began resenting “being the jock.”

Kyle Murray Knows Cardinals Taking Next Step ‘Starts With Me’

The Arizona Cardinals went into their bye week with a 5-2 record, certainly well positioned for a strong second half of the season. A subsequent 34-31 loss to the Miami Dolphins was emphatically erased after a walkoff 32-30 victory against the Buffalo Bills on November 15.

Unfortunately, the 6-3 Cardinals couldn’t continue to build momentum after the last-second Hail Mary, losing their next three games and five of their final seven to finish the season at an even 8-8.
