TheFatboi Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THIS IS MIKE PETERSON'S BROTHER?!!?? Impressed.OMG!! I went to Georgia Southern. It's even more impressive to watch live.

theProf Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 Had no idea Randall Cunningham had a brother that played in the league.Sam 'Bam' Cunningham, the older brother of Randall Cunningham, was a very good football player in his own right:"He played his entire career (1973 through 1982) with the Patriots and was a 1978 Pro Bowl selection. Cunningham finished his career with 5,453 rushing yards, 210 receptions for 1,905 yards, and 49 touchdowns. He is the older brother of former UNLV and NFL quarterback (and All-America punter) Randall Cunningham. Cunningham is the 2010 Inductee to the Patriots Hall of Fame."As for the Falcons, I did not realize that Benny Malone was the younger brother of Art Malone.
