What's With The Third Brother?

Peyton Manning is one of the best quarterbacks in NFL history, and a Super Bowl MVP.
His younger brother, Eli, led the Giants to an amazing Super Bowl win, and he took home the MVP trophy.
Cooper Manning, the oldest, was an all-state receiver in high school and recruited by several big colleges but was diagnosed with spinal stenosis which ended his career.

Tyler Hansbrough is an All-America forward at North Carolina and probable college player of the year.
His younger brother, Ben, averaged 10 points per game this season for Mississippi State including 24 in 2 tournament games.
Greg Hansbrough, the oldest, had a malignant brain tumor removed when he was a kid. And although doctors said he might never walk again, Greg recovered and now runs marathons.

Pat Calathes is a forward at St. Joseph's where he averaged 17.5 points per game this season.
His younger brother, Nick, is a star guard at Florida, where he averaged 15.3 points per game as a freshman this year.
John Calathes, the oldest (by 20 minutes), has arteriovenous malformation, a rare disorder that affects the blood vessels in the brain.
