Brother Quote by Jim Harbaugh
“Sometimes we'd be sitting down watching TV and my dad would tell me and my brother to run upstairs and grab him something. He would time us. Every time. It was like the world record was on the line. My brother and I both wanted that world record, so we'd run upstairs as fast as we could to see who could get back to my dad first.”
