Had the Broncos won last against the Ravens, chances are that we would have had a Gronkowski bowl between Rob and Chris (If Rob were healthy), but since the Ravens were victorious we're getting a different sibbling bowl. Today, both Chandler and his older brother Arthur will line up and try to anchor their respective defensive lines. So, it begs the question..."Which pop should be more proud of his genes"?
Should it be Papa Gronkowski with 3 sons in the NFL and one a FHOF in Rob or should it be Papa Jones with 2 sons in the NFL and a UFC Heavyweight champion in John "Bones" Jones?

I personally say Papa Jones since John is a UFC champion and Chandler could turn out to be a great DE.

If your child is a hard working, moral, good solid citizen, contributing to society, and not a leach living off the government than you should be proud.

as a Pop myself I gotta say one is not more proud then the other. I would think both are extremely proud. Not sure there is a correct answer to this. My kids aren't pro athletes but I am probably as proud of them with their sports and life accomplishments in their young lives as those two Fathers are as proud of their kids.

As a side not, Jon "Bones" Jones, UFC LHW Champion and brother of Chandler and Arthur is cheering for the Ravens today! I may just have to cheer against Bones Jones in his next fight.

I think one you did not list, Rex and Rob Ryans father has the most to be proud of.
Both his sons actually have jobs, support themselves and are not in the Pen!
It's all reletive to expectations.

Perhaps I should not mention this, but Papa Harbaugh has two sons, both of whom are coaching a team in a championship game today.

I read he wasn't cheering for either side, even though he was going to the game.

Archie : )
btw I agree with John McCain: UFC/MMA is human cockfighting and should be banned
