Keeping Up With the Jones

Just read that Thomas Jones and his brother Julius of the Dallas Cowboys set NFL history this past weekend. They became the first pair of siblings to start at running back for different NFL teams and rush for over 1000 yards in the same season.

I enjoyed watching Julius play when he was with Notre Dame and I'm a huge fan of Thomas' all-around contributions to the Chicago Bears. I have read plenty about how their mother and father worked the coal mines in West Virginia for years to raise seven kids into a life better than working in mines. Not only are the Jones' two good football players, but two great guys who come from a strong, supportive family. Congratulations to them both.
