brother against brother

This morning on KSDK (St. Louis, MO) I heard with amazement that Jay McGwire, Mark McGwire’s brother, has recently published “Mark and Me.”  In short, the book  tells of one brother turning against another.  Or better one brother, Jay, acts as an equal opportunist, and takes advantage of  Mark’s misfortune (or mistake?).  Supposedly the book is about Jay McGwire revealing the ‘family secrets’ of Mark McGwire and Jay using steroids.  It’s one thing for former Oakland A’s teammate Jose Canseco to incriminate Mark but for a blood relative to do it takes the cake. “That’s cold” as one friend put it.  Mark finds his brother’s actions appalling as he as does not want to see him again.  I also find this appalling; is greed driving such actions?  Sadly, a Facebook friend reminded me of this, “It happens. Remember LaToya tried to exploit Michael for her personal gain.”
