Some quotes from great QB and congressman from Oklahoma today, J.C. Watts. We're all worse off for not having him as a leader.

"My father taught that the only helping hand you're ever going to be able to rely on is the one at the end of your sleeve."
-- J. C. Watts, Jr.
(1957- ) US Congressman from Oklahoma (R), former quarterback in the Canadian Football League
