Brothers

Brothers in sports are sometimes great and sometimes they can create an ultimate rivalry. Jered and Jeff Weaver both took the mound tonight as the Dodgers faced the Angels. This is the first time in their pro careers that they have matched up against each other. This got me thinking no only about me and my brother's back yard games, but also those of Tiki and Ronde Barber and all the other brothers that have squared off. Whether its in the street or in an NFL stadium with 60,000 fans in it, brothers bring everything to the tabel to get the "W."

My brother and I have battled at every sport known to man. He's athletic and quick and I'm strong and beastly. It always made for an interesting situation with my impatiance and his short temper but as a team we were great. From Madden to back yard football the rivalry never stopped. Neither let up or gave the other an advantage. "Your hurt?! So, shut up and get up, we aint done!"

Brothers are the ones there to push you to see how good you can actually be. No one lets up and you see what kind of athlete you can actually be. So to all the brothers out there: "Never give up and fight all the way. Push each other to the limit and you wil come out better. Blood is thicker than water and brotherly love conquers everything!"
