Steely Dan Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Peyton and Eli are probably the best brothers to ever play in the NFL, IMO. Ronde and Tiki were good players also. It seems though that usually when one brother is great the other usually sucks. http://www.profootballhof.com/assets/histo...ril_22_2009.pdf For example these guys seem to have a large disparity; Mark Bavaro's brother David . He was actually on the Bills roster during one season. (1991) Aaron Schobel's brother Matt Schobel is a TE who's not with any team right now. Not a brother but a cousin of his Bo Schobel isn't anything close to what Aaron is. Jeff Bostic and Joe Bostic Terry Bradshaw and Craig Bradshaw Ruben Brown's brother Cornell Tony Eason and Bo Eason Pete Gogolak and Charlie Gogolak Bob Golic and Mike Golic Matt Hasselbeck and Tim Hasselbeck Alex, Lou and Ted Karras Larry Little and David Little Bruce Matthews and Clay Matthews Randy Moss and Eric Moss (Half brothers) Merlin Olsen, Orrin Olsen and Phil Olsen Scott Radecic and Keith Radecic Carson Palmer and Jordan Palmer Walter Payton and Eddie Payton Darren Sharper and Jamie Sharper Darryl Talley and John Talley Mike Vick and Marcus Vick Gene and Marvin Upshaw Some brothers I didn't know about; Ryan and John Denney. Ted and Bill Cotrell Carwell and Donnie Gardner Ronnie, Derek and Kevin Harmon Mike and Trey Junkin Rob and Louis Riddick In this draft John Jerry OT is Peria Jerry's brother. Which one will end up being the sucky player? Maybe both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Do not belong on that good/bad list: Bruce and Clay Matthews (Jr). Clay might not be in the HOF, but he was a damn good LB for many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lori Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 What about Shannon and Sterling Sharpe. They were both very good. True. Shannon will be in the HOF someday. Without the neck injury, Sterling might have been. And from other sports, Brent Gretzky and Billy Ripken say hello. Must be tough trying to live up to those expectations.

I always thought it was funny that the Sabres drafted Keith Gretzky and Wayne Primeau, when they really wanted Wayne Gretzky and Keith Primeau.

LandShark13 Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Glenn Blackwood And Lyle Blackwood AKA Bruise Brothers Was kind of cool watching them both start for the same team side by side. Solid players, nothing great but still pretty solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. Rich Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Do not belong on that good/bad list: Bruce and Clay Matthews (Jr). Clay might not be in the HOF, but he was a damn good LB for many years. Clay SHOULD be in the Hall of Fame right now. His brother....did he get in? True. Shannon will be in the HOF someday. Without the neck injury, Sterling might have been. Sterling more than likely would've been in Canton were it not for the bulging disk in his neck. The guy had turf toe so bad he couldn't practice one year, and all he did was finish w/ over 100 receptions back in the day when not every other WR was @ or close to 100 receptions. And for most of his Green Bay career, he put up huge numbers w/out Brett Favre, as his neck injury forced him out of football right @ the time Favre started to heat up.

In modern times, there are 4 Browner brothers. List shows only 3 kicking Zendejas brothers but there had to be 4, with Tony being the most successful. Maybe they left him off due to his rape accusation?? However, when I looked up Max, it says Alex is a nephew?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As were Phil and Joe Niekro along with Gaylord and Jim Perry. Dom Dimaggio was a very good player too: 1700 hits, lifetime batting average of .298, and a lifetime OPS+ of 111. He missed 3 of his prime years because of WW II as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing Rob Riddick's name there reminded me of a quality old player and quality guy - we met him once and just seemed like a great dude -without a chip on his shoulder. Why does it seem like none of our new guys have that humble but tough nosed work ethic anymore (exclude Kyle Williams and Fred Jackson from that quote)? Is it because we get so many guys from Cally?
