Three brothers in the same game
Three brothers in the same game
Tonight's SNF crew announced that the Bills-Steelers game was the first since 1927 to feature three brothers in the same game. I didn't hear them reveal the 1927 answer, but I think its the Rooney brothers, Joe, Bill and Harry (Cobb), of the Duluth Eskimos. My first thought was the Nessers, but that was quickly ruled out. Then I looked at the two Cronin players, Jack and Bill of Providence, and also Fritz Cronin of Duluth, but they don't appear to be related.

Re: Three brothers in the same game
I have a question. Before the Edmunds brothers when was the last time three brothers played in the same season? Were the Browner’s in 1987 (Ross, Joey and Keith)?
Re: Three brothers in the same game
Nope. Dan, Chris, and Rob Gronkowski all played in 2010 and 2011. A 4th brother, Glenn, played one game for Buffalo in 2016. (Their oldest brother, Gordie, played semi-pro baseball.)Teo wrote:I have a question. Before the Edmunds brothers when was the last time three brothers played in the same season?

There were three Antetokounmpo brothers in tonight’s Lakers v Bucks game in the NBA.
Giannis, the reigning league MVP, and his older brother Thanasis were representing the Bucks. Their younger brother Kostas was playing for the Lakers.
