Is there a consensus "worst set of brothers" all time? (alien.top)

So there are Watts, Kelces, Mannings, and other star pairs of brothers, but I want to know if there have ever been brothers that both weren't very good or just straight up stunk. Not a situation where a guy is a star and his brother happens to also make the league at some point. I feel like it's already so rare to make the NFL it's unlikely for your family to be good enough to send two guys to the NFL and have them both suck.

Brendon Ayanbadejo (LB), Obafemi Ayanbadejo (FB). I don’t remember much about either except Brendon being an odd name.

Super Bowl Champion Brendon Ayanbadejo.

Brendon also had a pretty major int/pick6? to seal a Dolphi s win against the early dynasty Pats

The Grammaticas both got injured celebrating kicks in the same week once.

[–] FattyMooseknuckle@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I totally remembered it as both celebrating.

Hawks fan here. This is far and away the current answer to this question.

The Hollister brothers. Funny enough they were both on the Patriots while the McCourty’s were as well. So the Pats had two sets of twins on their roster.

Aren’t there like, 4 Quessenberrys in the league currently and they’re all pretty mid?

The Hollister brothers. One was a TE and one was a WR, both were on the Pats at one point. I think the TE ended up in Seattle and started a few games but the WR never did anything.

The Morris brothers in the NBA are the most awful and vile human beings you'd ever encounter.

Josh and John David were pretty booty.

The Ryan Brothers.

They ruined the Buffalo Bills defense.

I think once you and your brother grow up competing against each other for life, at an NFL level, that makes you better. Constant day to day competition I would think teaches you a lot.

There are definitely much worse players that I’ve never heard of but my answer is Shane and Brandon Zylstra

Kelces are doing their best work at being the most annoying

[–] Early-Retirement-22@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The brothers from the movie Slapshot but I am not sure they count.
