Given the possibilityof a Vick-Vick backfield in Atlanta someday, I was thinking about brother-acts in sport in general. It seems to me at first glance that bro combos are much more commonplace in baseball and hockey than in football......can anyone name any notable grid brotherhoods?

I'm dating myself when I start thinking the likes of Lew and Preston Carpenter, Alex and Ted Karras and Dick and Ed Modzelewsi.

    There are 300 brothers who have played in the NFL. The list is in Adobe on the Hall of Fame page (http://www.profootballhof.com/history/stats/brothers.jsp)

    Carlester and Alge Crumpler. I went to High School with Carlester, and then Alge attended my college-I had already graduated but was employed by the university and used to speak to him occassionally.
    I collect Vintage Cards, Commemorative Sets, and way too many vintage and modern player collections in Baseball (180 players), Football (175 players), and Basketball (87 players). Also have a Dallas Cowboy team collection.

    Yes Sterling and Shannon were brothers.

    How about the Blades brothers--Brian and Bennie--flashes of greatness there, if ever so brief.
    Next MONTH? So he's saying that if he wins, the best-case scenario is that he'll be paying for it two weeks after the auction ends?

    Forget blocking him; find out where he lives and go punch him in the nuts. --WalterSobchak 9/12/12
