OK, sorry if this sounds petty and nit picky but I have to say it...To have an article about the Berry twins committing and yet have an associated picture of their brother with the KC Chiefs, don't you think that's sort of overshadowing THEIR accomplishments? I mean, afterall this isn't an Eric Berry article, it's an Evan and Elliot Berry article. Just sayin'.

I think the same as you. All the same, sometimes the best thing to do is mind your own business. Let their family sort it out.

I believe it was just showing the Berry name and showing that they come from a good line of football players

Everyone assumes that they will be good because of their name. I hope they will be, but everyone assumed that Dooley could coach because of his name, Nunoz could block because of his name, Simms could play qb because of his name, and that the Nicklaus boys could play like Jack.

It's Munoz and he was an All-American here at UT and team captain before his injuries caught up with him! Please don't put him in the same breath as Doofus!

I overheard an ignorant coworker say, "as long as they're as good as or better than their brother, I'll be happy."
smh

Good god. Doesn't take much to make them happy huh? Did they follow it with, as long as Dobbs is as good as or better than Peyton Manning, I'll be happy?

I just hope they will be an upgrade on what we have now. It is a far stretch to think that they can fill Eric's shoes. It was awesome to hear the Eric Berry chants!

They're two very gifted and talented football players and I'm happy to have them here. It's great that the Berry's love this university like they do

I didn't have a licensed picture of the Berry Twins available. I thought the Eric Berry pic emphasized their bloodline. It certainly wasn't meant to overshadow.

Eric and James were great former Vols, and the Berry twins coming from such a great family only enhances their appeal, in my opinion.

:hi:

Why do I get the feeling that you are way more concerned about this than the twins?

Nothing but good things to say about the Berry's. Regardless of how Evan and Elliott play, we are all proud of them. They're all prime examples of true VFL's.

Posting their pic here would probably be construed as a recruiting violation by someone somewhere and bring the entire NCAA down upon VN :)

You gonna call espn and complain? They got Eric's name on the border. It comes right after it says the berry twins commit.... They are chiefs safety Eric berrys younger brothers. What an outrage. :)

even if they're as half as good as their brother they'll be great bricks for the mortar...

I know that it's Munoz. That was a typo and I didn't proofread. The M and N are right next to each other.

I remember when the father played in college for So. Cal, and then for the Bengals. I also remember that his son was overrated, and went undrafted.
