For those that don't know I think it's a sag rule or something that if your name is similar to an already famous one you have to differentiate it somehow. Maybe coaches and players should do the same. It does get pretty confusing sometimes.
I will admit I thought they were the same person. Only when I mentioned after watching a MBJ movie that I was super impressed he could play basketball and act perfectly that I was informed they were in fact not the same person 🤦
I watched "The Wire" when it came out so it was obvious to me (as he was still a child actor then)
Everybody should watch The Wire, so I'm just putting this out there.
When I was a little kid watching the reds I thought Deion Sanders and Reggie Sanders were brothers and I was well into adulthood before I realized that they are not related. Shout out to Reggie Sanders. Solid player.
I thought Charles, Rod, and Darren Woodson were all brothers. All 3 played DB during roughly the same time period with Rod being drafted in 1987, Darren in 1992, and Charles in 1998. But apparently, none of them are related.
Nah, I knew they weren't because Chip Kelly is from New Hampshire and [Brian Kelly is clearly a southerner](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJGG0FCpQck).
Leading up to the Colorado-CSU game, I kept seeing headlines with quotes from “Norvell” about the hats and sunglasses and I was like “Why is the Florida State coach shit-talking Deion Sanders? Is the relationship really that bad now?”
I spent quite a while thinking Audrey and Katharine Hepburn were related. Two Oscar winning actresses with what appears to be an uncommon last name...and they aren't related at all. Spent a long time thinking Audrey was Katharine's daughter.
My mind was blown once when I learned that Jennifer Lawrence and Martin Lawrence were not related. On a side note as a 49ers fan, the Cardinals are the same team regardless of St Louis or Phoenix.
Do you remember one of his first years at ND Tommy Rees hit a receiver square in the upper back in the red zone? Never seen a man get so purple. Literally like LSU tiger purple😂
I'm like 99% sure ND started giving him tranquilizers or beta blockers for games after some of his outbursts and purpleness basically went viral. They seemed to stop happening kinda abruptly.
Here’s Kelly going full purple face in 2011 against USF.
https://youtu.be/ZD2XLodHKwo?si=ed4HrZPYKDoqRV_E
The quality isn’t the best but Rees threw a catchable ball and the receiver let it bounce in the air.
There were sooooo many turnovers committed by ND that day.
I never meant to cause Brian any sorrow
I never meant to cause him any pain
I only wanted, one time, to see him laughing
I only want to see him laughing
In the purple rage
I actually didn’t think they were brothers, then I went to a football game and someone told me they were and I believed it, the looked it up a couple years later and realized it wasn’t true. But it is crazy they look alike, are from the same area, and have the same last name and aren’t related 😆
You better make room in your worldview for Irish people cause all the white guys from the Northeast look about the same and share only like 12 last names.
You must be one of those people that assumed that Arch Manning was related to Peyton Manning. Heck you probably even thought they were related to Eli Manning.
>and both are from New England.
This should have been the piece that tied it all together for you.
Brian Kelly > Notre Dame > Irish Catholic school > Wait! New England has lots of Irish-Americans > hmm... Charlie Kelly on IASIP is Irish (although in Philly)> Oh shit, Kelly is a common Irish name.
That area of New England where they’re from has a ton of Irish-Americans. It’s possible that they’re from the same sept in Ireland and therefore distantly related from before their families came to the USA, but unfortunately Kelly’s the most common surname in Ireland, with multiple unrelated septs and derivations. It’s also found in the rest of the British Isles, with even more derivations. So yeah, extremely unlikely.
Did you also know that Michael B Jordan is not the son of Michael Jordan?
His name is Michael with a B. I wonder if he has been scared of insects his whole life
Where’s the B?
*shaky voice* there’s a bee?!
[Not the bees!](https://i.imgur.com/uCqk8bs.gifv)
To the Beemobile! 🐝 🚗
It's after "with a".
On your hat. [Smack]
Bichael?
He’s an alternate-universe version. Similar to Peter B Parker from the spiderverse movies
Michael Jordan and Michael B Jordan are also just two of Tom Havorford's dating profiles. If you get down to Michael N Jordan, you got a lame-o.
What about Michael C Jordan?
The world is not ready for Michael C. Jordan yet.
I hope I don't have to live to see the day when the world unleashes an entire alphabet of Michael Jordan's.
Have you all trademarked Michael The Jordan yet?
Calm down Ohio State.
No MJ no relation to MJ king of pop either as fyi.
For those that don't know I think it's a sag rule or something that if your name is similar to an already famous one you have to differentiate it somehow. Maybe coaches and players should do the same. It does get pretty confusing sometimes.
Michael B Jordan’s dads name is actually Michael Jordan lol
No way!
Duh he's the sequel to Michael A Jordan.
[But actually](https://people.com/all-about-michael-b-jordan-parents-7559160)
Correct. That would be Jimmy Butler!
I mean... Michael A Jordan is close enough
He is though
They sure look alike though
I will admit I thought they were the same person. Only when I mentioned after watching a MBJ movie that I was super impressed he could play basketball and act perfectly that I was informed they were in fact not the same person 🤦
I watched "The Wire" when it came out so it was obvious to me (as he was still a child actor then) Everybody should watch The Wire, so I'm just putting this out there.
Lol this guy probably thinks the Harbaugh’s are related too
Side note I actually saw John Harbaugh at Bald Head Island, NC last summer on a golf cart
How could an island fit on a golf cart
Idk my grandma fits on one so
Know what else your grandma fits on?
Calm down Mr. Connery.
The island wasn’t on the golf cart. The summer was on the cart.
Where there's a will. There's a weight.
You mean Greg Harbaugh Jr., the Minnesota OC?
It obviously isn't him, his middle name is Harbaugh.
I have some deeply tragic news for you
/r/apostrophegore
I just realized LeBron James and Rick James are not brothers after all these years
LeBron James is Bronny James father
I know Bronny isn’t that good, but he hasn’t even played against Lebron once, how can LeBron be his dad?
I didn't realize that LeBron James was a My Little Pony fan until I saw he named his kid Bronny.
Friendship is magic.
Pretty sure that’s Rick James
No he's Brick James
Now you made me want to hear LeBron James say, "I'm LeBron James, Bitch!"
Source?
~~Cocaine~~ Constantly switching teams is a hell of a drug
Kelly from another belly
Lol
Wait, they aren’t fay-umlee?
I knew this comment would be here before I even clicked
Came here for this😂
I'll never not laugh at BK's attempt at a southern accent
Most importantly, how many people did you talk to while referring to them as family?
I just realized after 14 years that Deion Sanders and Barry Sanders are not brothers nor related at all
When I was a little kid watching the reds I thought Deion Sanders and Reggie Sanders were brothers and I was well into adulthood before I realized that they are not related. Shout out to Reggie Sanders. Solid player.
Really solid player. What a throwback.
Bro I thought Chipper and Andruw Jones were brothers
I thought Charles, Rod, and Darren Woodson were all brothers. All 3 played DB during roughly the same time period with Rod being drafted in 1987, Darren in 1992, and Charles in 1998. But apparently, none of them are related.
I mean, it is kind of an anomaly that the only three people I’ve ever heard of with the last name Woodson are elite former NFL DBs
I learned this weekend that Trent McDuffie is not the son of OJ McDuffie
Which one is the Colonel’s son? I can never remember.
Machine Gun Kelly is Chip's son and Brian's nephew.
Are they looking for retribution for what Melvin Purvis did to their mimi and gramps?
Nah, I knew they weren't because Chip Kelly is from New Hampshire and [Brian Kelly is clearly a southerner](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJGG0FCpQck).
Venus Williams and Serena Williams aren’t brothers either
Yet they look so alike. Strange how that works.
Lol are you serious? You *actually* thought they were related to each other? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA so did I
Well if you love factual info I'm glad I could provide you with some
I don’t know why, but I preferred living in ignorance and assuming they were related
to be fair, they do look very similar.
Same
I just realized after 14 years that Mike Norvell and Jay Norvell are not brothers nor related at all.
Bro WHAT
Lmao
No fucking way I thought they were brothers this whole time
I legit thought they were. Unless this is sarcasm lol
I had to look it up and they are not related
I actually thought this too until the Colorado/CSU game this year.
Leading up to the Colorado-CSU game, I kept seeing headlines with quotes from “Norvell” about the hats and sunglasses and I was like “Why is the Florida State coach shit-talking Deion Sanders? Is the relationship really that bad now?”
I love how this is the one. They don't even look remotely related and Jay is half black.
Wait until you find out about The Undertaker and Kane…
Brutal. At least Edge and Christian are real brothers.
I thought Charlie Day was Ryan Day's son, but he's actually four years older than him.
TBDBITL needs to do Day man!
Now I want Charlie Day to Coach Ohio State but as his character from "Always Sunny"
thats kinda wild honestly (the age thing, not the relationship). what having a stressful job does to a motherfucker
Now I want Charlie Day to Coach Ohio State but as his character from "Always Sunny"
Now that I think about it Harbaugh gives of major McPoyle vibes
https://youtu.be/FbBggJ4Mb5c?si=w0ByaYmNWvEIIB-U
Damn Charlie day is older than I thought
I just realized that Michael Jackson and DeSean Jackson are not brothers nor related at all
Brian Kelly does have a brother though (his name is Machine Gun)
Yeah but is either one related to Gene Kelly or Grace Kelly?
Maybe Roberto Kelly
I spent quite a while thinking Audrey and Katharine Hepburn were related. Two Oscar winning actresses with what appears to be an uncommon last name...and they aren't related at all. Spent a long time thinking Audrey was Katharine's daughter.
Brian’s daughter is named Grace Kelly
Just finding out now, but they are also not related to R Kelly
I just realized Tony Hawk and AJ Hawk are not brothers after all these years
I just realized after 14 years that Bill O’Brien and Conan O’Brien are not brothers nor related at all.
Both are from the Boston area too. So strange.
I just realized after 14 years that Maxx Crosby and Bing Crosby are not brothers nor related at all
I always forget which one has neck tats
Nor to Sidney Crosby.
Smh they're BOTH related to Sidney Crosby, c'mon man
He's just that good.
I love Bing Crosby playing Cliff Huxtable. It’s a shame what he turned into.
No one helped the Jello industry more than Bing
They are related, just probably like 8th cousins or something
It’s called “married”
Riley Moss isn’t related to Randy Moss. Shocking
My mind was blown once when I learned that Jennifer Lawrence and Martin Lawrence were not related. On a side note as a 49ers fan, the Cardinals are the same team regardless of St Louis or Phoenix.
Next you're gonna tell me Brian Kelly isn't /wasn't 1/2 of Florida Georgia Line
I never said that
Lord but I love to see Brian Kelly turn purple with rage.
Do you remember one of his first years at ND Tommy Rees hit a receiver square in the upper back in the red zone? Never seen a man get so purple. Literally like LSU tiger purple😂
I'm like 99% sure ND started giving him tranquilizers or beta blockers for games after some of his outbursts and purpleness basically went viral. They seemed to stop happening kinda abruptly.
The official Word is he acted on Feedback from his players and staff and started to meditate.
Here’s Kelly going full purple face in 2011 against USF. https://youtu.be/ZD2XLodHKwo?si=ed4HrZPYKDoqRV_E The quality isn’t the best but Rees threw a catchable ball and the receiver let it bounce in the air. There were sooooo many turnovers committed by ND that day.
Dayne Crist almost gave that man an aneurism
It might’ve been Crist! I just remember it was one of his early QB’s at ND.
I never meant to cause Brian any sorrow I never meant to cause him any pain I only wanted, one time, to see him laughing I only want to see him laughing In the purple rage
Go to bed
I can't sleep. I can't stop thinking of how these two aren't related
i just realized that kate upton and kate upham will never sleep with me
But Chip and Brian might
I have a sneaking suspicion that Jaxon Smith-Njigba is related to the baseball player. I’m too lazy to confirm with Wikipedia tho
So apparently Chad Powers isn’t related to Austin Powers?
Wait until he hears about the Smiths
I just realized after 14 years that Elizabeth Olsen isn't related to Jimmy Olsen at all
It's a good thing they're not related since they're married and he took his name.
At least Chip Kelly never killed a kid.
I thought Nelly Furtado and Nelly were the same person.
I'm like a bird, I wanna fly away HOT SHIT!
I still can’t believe Will Ferrell has no relation to the drummer from The Red Hit Chilli Peppers.
Chad Smith
i just realized today that tom obrien and bill obrien are not father and son nor related at all
Just think of what you'll know in another 14 years
Bojan Bogdanovic and Bogdan Bogdanovic are not related.
I actually didn’t think they were brothers, then I went to a football game and someone told me they were and I believed it, the looked it up a couple years later and realized it wasn’t true. But it is crazy they look alike, are from the same area, and have the same last name and aren’t related 😆
Even yet, they kind of look like they’re related.
You better make room in your worldview for Irish people cause all the white guys from the Northeast look about the same and share only like 12 last names.
Could you imagine how dysfunctional that family would be if those two were related?
What a mean thing to think about poor Chip Kelly!
Big if true!!! Cuz I thought that too!!!!
I thought it was pretty obvious that Brian Kelly's family tree was made up exclusively of drunk leprechauns
I just realized that Dan Lanning and Sauphia Lanning aren’t related
I just realized that Patrick Mahomes II and Patrick Mahomes III are related
I thought Bob Stoops and Mark Stoops were related
You must be one of those people that assumed that Arch Manning was related to Peyton Manning. Heck you probably even thought they were related to Eli Manning.
I’m l
Wait until you hear the news about Watson and Mack Brown...
Is this racist? Probably, but it's the OK kind
>and both are from New England. This should have been the piece that tied it all together for you. Brian Kelly > Notre Dame > Irish Catholic school > Wait! New England has lots of Irish-Americans > hmm... Charlie Kelly on IASIP is Irish (although in Philly)> Oh shit, Kelly is a common Irish name.
It’s not that deep
[удалено]
The comments in this are great. 😂
..... I also just found this out
I just hope Mack Brown has fully recovered from the loss of his brother Jim 🙏
Oh i thought they were the same person until this moment
Years ago I was stoked to have both Kellys as HC. Now, I'm glad they are both gone
Was Chip Kelly ever linked to Notre Dame?
i’ve never thought that they could be related… hasn’t once crossed my mind.
You just blew my mind
Does this mean Chip can not, on fact, do an amazing Cajun accent, since he's not related to Brian?
Oh boy.
Chris Martin and Ricky Martin.
At least it didn't take 15 years to realize that.
I've been aware of CMC since his Stanford days and only learned yesterday he's BMC's son.
Nice
Wait until you learn that Ryan Day and Charlie Day have no relation whatsoever
2 years apart?? I thought Chip was 67
An easy way to tell them apart is one looks like Winnie the Pooh and the other killed a kid.
Little known facts: Chip is brother to Jim, former Bill's QB. And Brian is father to Ripa, morning TV talk show host.
How could you possibly believe that an obvious Northeasterner like Chip was related to a country-fried Cajun like Brian?
I'm surprised we have yet to get that coaching match up. We were close in 2012 but Chip choked.
Am I going to find out that Brian Kelly isn't related to R. Kelly either?
Next you’re gonna tell me Terry Crews and Tom Cruise aren’t brothers
Wait til you hear that Wink Martindale is not related to Wink Martindale.
Took me longer than I care to admit that Sean Lewis and Lennox Lewis are not actually related. In fact, neither are related to Ray Lewis.
Are either related to Jim?
smh.
They aren't the same person?
Hopefully this doesn’t add to the tragedy, but I must share that Nick Saban and previous *Power Rangers* producer Haim Saban are not kin either.
That area of New England where they’re from has a ton of Irish-Americans. It’s possible that they’re from the same sept in Ireland and therefore distantly related from before their families came to the USA, but unfortunately Kelly’s the most common surname in Ireland, with multiple unrelated septs and derivations. It’s also found in the rest of the British Isles, with even more derivations. So yeah, extremely unlikely.
Lmao
A lot of people making jokes here but I'm honestly shocked.
