Good list. I'd have included the Von Erichs.

Matty, Jesus and Felipe Alou find this list to be full of shortcomings.

Wrestling and racing included? Gimme a break. I will accept the lack of Rooneys as your apology.

How about Dick and Pete Weber from bowling?

Ray, Bob, Bret, and Aaron Boone from baseball? First 3-generation major league family.

You forgot about Moises Alou, who was also a great player.

I would replace the Earnhardts with the Allisons.

The Gronkowskis will be there soon.

No Cansecos (Cansecoes?) ?
 
2011-11-26 04:55:08 PM
What the hell? Did the The Earnhardts only have one family picture ever? There wasn't any other with them that didn't look like it was taken on the very first generation camera phone in low light held by Michael J. Fox?

List is fail without the Gramatica brothers, kickers and R/C enthusiasts.
 
2011-11-26 05:17:30 PM
If not for the juicing scandal, the Bondses should make the list as well.

Should at least be an honorable mention of the manic personality brothers.

Alvis Satele (San Diego Chargers)
Hercules Satele (Arizona Cardinals)
Samson Satele (Oakland Raiders)
Brashton Satele (NY Jets)
Melila Purcell (cousin: Cleveland Browns)

Seriously, there aren't many times all 4 of those people have been in the same room at the same time. Kerry was Sr's son from his first marriage, which lasted less than a year when he was 17. I don't think they even spoke until sometime in the mid 90's

And there is NO way the Earnhardt's are more iconic than the Allison's, Jarret's, Foyt's, Unser's, or Andretti's.

swahnhennessy: No Sutters. Really?

Yup.

How about the Apostrophe's?
 
2011-11-26 05:51:22 PM
swahnhennessy: No Sutters. Really?

Or how about the Stastny's? The brothers Peter, Anton and Marian in the 80s and Paul (son of Peter) playing now. Also paved the way for Eastern Europeans in the NHL.

Honestly, that entry was kinda a fail... no mention of Ralph Earnhardt? 1956 Nascar Sportsman champion? The reason WHY all of his descendants raced at one point or another?

...and that was probably the only and last photo taken of them all together before Kelley decided to start a family and enter the business side of the sport rather than continue racing... according to Dale Jr., she was the best racer in the family and could have probably had an amazing career. Shame, really.

No kickers are ever iconic.

No Andrettis?
 
2011-11-26 06:08:23 PM
Terlis: No Andrettis?

You got a point there... I do love me some Nascar, but to include two Nascar families and forget the Andrettis... that's a rather glaring omission.
 
2011-11-26 06:14:13 PM
Actually, subby, the correct response is "Because fark you, that's why."
 
2011-11-26 06:22:56 PM
How about the Hull family? Bobby scored 610 NHL goals, his brother Dennis 303 and Bobby's son Brett had 741. Bobby and Brett are in the Hall of Fame, too.
 
2011-11-26 06:25:43 PM
What about the Ryans? You know -- Buddy, Rex and Fabio wannabe Rob.
 
2011-11-26 06:26:47 PM
List fails miserably without the Alous and the Boones (both mentioned above), as well as Gus, Buddy, Dave and Mike Bell.

^ This.

Plus the Hulls.

/hockey gets no respect

downstairs: Good list. I'd have included the Von Erichs.

The Harts. Definitely the Harts.
 
2011-11-26 06:47:23 PM
SurfaceTension: DiMaggios

So much this. Hell, there are so many family combos out there this list could go on forever. The Longs, Howes and Franconas, for starters. Or how about the Millers? Probably the premier brother/sister combo in all of sports.

SurfaceTension: Ray, Bob, Bret, and Aaron Farking Boone from baseball?

FTFRed Sox fans.

I half agree, but the Von Erichs are iconic for all the wrong reasons.
 
2011-11-26 07:06:58 PM
I also think that the Molinas deserve a place on this list. Three brothers, playing professional ball at the same time, and each won a World Series. What the hell?
 
2011-11-26 07:13:16 PM
List fails without Andrettis, Harts, Sutters, Alous & Molinas
 
2011-11-26 07:42:09 PM
One Bad Apple: Came for the Gracies, leaving satisfied

I agree. Easily the most single influential family in pro sports (McMahons aside, real sports).

Entertainment tab.


Well. Wrestling is the only thing on the list that's entertaining. So I guess you're right.
 
2011-11-26 08:04:32 PM
The Armstrongs are a time honored family that spans decades of excellence.

Howe do you leave off the Sutters and the Hulls? Howe?
 
2011-11-26 09:13:48 PM
List fails without the Sutters.


/bad coaches though
 
2011-11-26 09:20:52 PM
No Sutters *or* Statsnys? Clearly biased against hockey.
 
2011-11-26 09:37:53 PM
Since Hulls, Sutters and Stastny are mentioned

How about the Howes? Mr. Hockey, Mark (HOFers) and Marty who all played together on the same line
