there names are Jim Harbaugh and John Harbaugh.\u00a0 These brothers are also the sons of a lifelong football coach.\u00a0 Obviously football was very important in the Harbaugh family!\u00a0 This is the first time in history that two brothers will coach against each other in the Super Bowl.\u00a0 Some Americans are even calling this the \u201cBrother Bowl\u201d for that reason.\u00a0 Other people are talking about this game as \u201cHarbaugh vs. Harbaugh\u201d not \u2018Ravens vs. 49ers\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>For people who don\u2019t care much about football this unique coaching situation gives them something different to watch and cheer for this Sunday.\u00a0 Who would you cheer for the older brother or the younger brother?\u00a0 The way you answer that question likely says something about whether you are an older or a younger sibling.\u00a0 In this case John, the coach of the Baltimore Ravens, is the older brother and Jim, the coach of the 49ers, is younger.\u00a0 So, even if you are not interested in football, maybe this year your will watch this game just to see how this interesting family feud works out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<img width=\"224\" height=\"224\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2013\/01\/supper-bowl.jpg\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image tmp-hide-img\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2013\/01\/supper-bowl.jpg 224w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2013\/01\/supper-bowl-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 224px) 100vw, 224px\" \/><p>This coming weekend is the biggest game in American football, the Super Bowl!\u00a0 Football is one of American\u2019s favorite sports.\u00a0 The football season that runs from September to the beginning of February every year takes over many American\u2019s lives.\u00a0 During this season 32 different professional football teams play each other in games every Sunday (and&hellip;<\/p>\n<p class=\"post-item__readmore\"><a class=\"btn btn--md\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/english\/in-sports-news-a-family-football-game\/\">Continue Reading<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"author":85,"featured_media":2505,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[273707,273705,2143,273706,155483],"class_list":["post-2504","post","type-post","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-culture","tag-brother-bowl","tag-footabll-coach","tag-football","tag-harbaugh","tag-super-bowl"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2504","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/85"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2504"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2504\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4232,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2504\/revisions\/4232"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2505"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2504"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2504"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2504"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
