Father's Day officially is June 21, but every day is worth celebrating for a father whose son has followed his path to pro sports.
Brett Perriman, who teamed with Herman Moore in the 1990s to give the Lions one of the NFL’s most potent receiving tandems, is feeling fatherly pride these days.
His son, Breshad, was drafted by the Ravens in the first round and is participating in their offseason program.
Family ties and finances are two themes of this week’s Monday Countdown. Brett and Breshad Perriman qualify in both categories, as does the golf-football connection in the Nicklaus family – Grandpa Jack Nicklaus, the greatest golfer of all time who hosted the Memorial Tournament that was most noted for a meltdown by Tiger Woods, and grandson Nicklaus “Nick” O’Leary, a rookie tight end with the Buffalo Bills.
