Dr. Doom, Robert Brazile: An NFL Bright Spot

MOBILE, Alabama  -- Sports fans you have been cheated. This is the best time of year for you, or at least it should be. No matter who your football team, they can still make the playoffs, and for the first time that includes college as well. (Well, unless your team is in the Big 10, but you get the point.) The MLB pennant races are heating up. Even Astros fans have much to cheer about with Jose Altuve racking up the most single season hits for an MLB 2nd basemen since 1936. (Do not let the wordiness of the honor fool you; it is a big deal. Passing Craig Biggio and Rod Carew in anything is monumental.)

These things have been over shadowed by legal drama that many times you turn to sports to escape. Today, I remind you that there are still stories to uplift us and legends who are even bigger heroes off the field than on. Robert Brazile sat down with Shaun Bijani and me before he was honored at the Advocare Texas Kickoff for his induction into the Texas Football Hall of Fame.

ere were so many breaking stories that I did not post the interview when it occurred, but the conversation made such an impression, I wanted to find a way to share it. Highlighting the positive side of sports is the perfect place to talk about Robert Brazile. You can listen to the entire interview here or to clips throughout the story.
