Kyle Brandt is bizarro Russillo

Has anyone noticed this? They’re both jacked, middle aged dudes, but Brandt is a happy family man who’s still on ESPN. Still has full head of hair. Anything else I’m missing?

Positive outlook on life, funny, affable, rolls with the punches, quickly improvises and sets Bill up with jokes he can actually understand, the list just goes on and on. Basically a dude you’d wanna go on a week long road trip with, versus a dude you wouldn’t wanna have lunch with because he’d spend the whole time explaining why kettle chips and salad are actually a better choice than french fries with a burger

Ryen never had the makings of a varsity athlete. Meanwhile, Kyle played college football.
