Mommy's little smurf
Arthur Jones hopes his Baltimore Ravens can win this weekend — but to do that he'll have to beat his younger brother Chandler and the New England Patriots.

It's a win-lose at family gatherings for the Jones. Arthur Jones (6-3, 315) led Union-Endicott to a Section title his senior year in 2004. In 2007, Chandler (6-5, 260) led the Tigers to a 9-2 season and was one of the top 10 ranked players in New York.
Their parents, Arthur and Camille Jones of Endicott, N.Y.,
told CBS they will cheer for both sons.

Arthur Sr. said Sunday will be filled with a lot of adrenaline and pressure.
"It's like you're almost out there playing yourself," he said.
Camille Jones has nicknames for her sons — Chandler is "mommy's little smurf," and Arthur is "my little cuddly luddly bear."
You can bet those nicknames will make it to both locker rooms.
Evidently, mom has been using these cute nicknames for years. Arthur Jones has been pleading with his mom to stop with the cute nicknames since way back in high school.
"I always tease him," Camille Jones told CBS. "He'll say, ‘Mom, you can't call me a little cuddle baby, this is the season now. I am the thug! I am the thug!'.. I says, mom's cuddly wuggly thug!'"
