Brother mentality
Like many baseball clubhouses at this time of the year the Angels are engrosed in their fantasy football league. Jered Weaver is as into it as anybody and his selection of a quarterback made perfect sense.
Weaver went with one half of the NFL's brother act by selecting the New York Giants' Eli Manning, brother of Peyton Manning. Weaver knows about a sibling athletes since he and his brother Jeff pitched together for a short time on the Angels. He eventually replaced his brother on the roster.
Shortly after Weaver pitched the Angels to a victory Sunday, he was taking stock of his fantasy team. He needed big performances by Manning and Peyton's main target, Marvin Harrison.
