Eric Swalwell: “Yes, of course. And I was the only Giants fan in an all-A's household, the only 49ers fan in an all-Raiders household…”

On the recordJanuary 11, 2022
Yes, of course. And I was the only Giants fan in an all-A's household, the only 49ers fan in an all-Raiders household, and the only Democrat in an all-Republican household, so outnumbered in every way. But my mom and dad loved John Madden in the way you just described him because of what he taught all of us. I thank the gentleman for coming down with his helmet, and I think we are all rooting for a Raiders win this weekend. Madam Speaker, I yield to my colleague from the Central Valley of California, who I believe will tell us that Mr. Madden had almond orchards in his district. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from California (Mr. Costa).
