It was one of those nights. The boys would not go to sleep. They had that contagious energy that so often keeps brothers awake. The first time their father came in to tell them to go to bed, they didn’t listen. The second time either. More giggling. Fighting. Playing games. Messing around. Getting into mischief.
Finally, the third time, famed college football coach Jack Harbaugh was readying to yell—just like the father in the movie Step Brothers—“RUMPUS TIME IS OVER!” And yet he didn’t. Instead, he just looked at the boys, the future NFL coaches John and Jim Harbaugh, caught as they were in the middle of their fun, and said, “Who could possibly have it better than you two? You share, you laugh, you’re brothers, you tell each other stories, you share your dreams. Who could have it better than you two?”
The boys answered in unison: “Nobody, Dad, nobody.” It was this question that became the Harbaugh family motto, and one worth aspiring to in every family, rich or poor, big or small.
Who has it better than us?
