Super Bowl

   http://www.csnbaltimore.com/blog/ravens-talk/super-bowl-xlvii-will-be-harbaugh-bowl
     This year's Super Bowl is unlike any Super Bowl that has taken place before.  Two brothers, Jim Harbaugh of the San Francisco 49ers and John Harbaugh of the Baltimore Ravens, are going to face off against each other in Super Bowl XLVII.  This was not the first matchup between the two in an NFL game.  On Thanksgiving in 2011, the two brothers and their teams clashed.  John was able to escape with a 16 - 6 win over his brother Jim.  Maybe now it is Jim's turn to have the bragging rights. 
     Both brothers played football in college and Jim played in the NFL and had a rather successful career playing 15 seasons.  Also, John and Jim have had tons of success as coaches.  John in his first five seasons as an NFL head coach has made it to the playoffs every season and on top of that, he has won at least one game in the playoffs each of the five seasons.  Jim, who led Stanford to a BCS bowl in 2010, got offered to be the head coach in San Francisco.  In 2011, the 49ers made it all the way to the conference championship, but lost to the New York Giants.  It is very rare that you would ever see two brothers coaching in the NFL, let alone being extremely successful year in and year out.
