A lot of backstory here that I don't want to get into. Family issues are always one of those murky situations and I would hate for it to be in the public eye as much as some of these guys.
The "Quarterback dating the actress/model/etc." always drives me nuts. Somehow a bunch of other Quarterbacks survived it. Maybe his play has dropped off because his WR's aren't what they used to be and their defense on the back end has fallen to pieces.
Regardless, having your life out in the public eye like this has to stink, whether you're making the big bucks or not.

Yeah, hard to condemn either side without knowing the full story.
For all we know, his parents and siblings are parasitic moochers.
Everything in this post is my fault.

Parasites? Perhaps, perhaps not. Who cares to be honest?
Look, suppose you come from a family who has struggled all their lives then suddenly someone in the family hits paydirt and suddenly is making gazillions of bucks playing a kids game . i don't think it totally unreasonable that family should ask for some help ,but there are families who just plain get greedy too and expect you to carry them 100%.. The thing is we just don't know .
I took care of an elderly woman in Texas for 10 years, the sweetest old woman you would want to meet,but she constantly struggled after her husband died 10-15 years before i meet her. She had 3 adult kids living close by doing quite well for themselves and on mothers day of all days she finally broke down and asked each one if they could help her with some food ..not even a bite...nothing .
So i took her to a food pantry and we got by.
A few years later she died from a stroke and within 2 days i was moved out of the shed in the backyard with nothing . You would think there was gold buried under the house and they all had the nerve to expect me to clean up the entire property so they could sell everything they hadn't already stolen left behind ..
I caught a bus that night and never spoke to any of them again .. There are just some people i wouldn't piss up their asses if their guts were on fire .

His younger brother was the winner on last season's "The Bachelorette" (and if you saw her, he won big league). He said during the show he has no relationship with his brother. When they visited the family, it seemed it was just Jordan and Aaron who had problems, obviously not. At any rate, from their house and appearances it did not seem like they were struggling for money....
