Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise with great pride to praise the San Francisco 49ers organization, to Eddie DeBartolo, Carmen Policy, and Coach Seifert. Mr. Speaker, on Sunday California had a great day, it sent two great teams to the Super Bowl, where they were received magnificently by Miami. And, with all the admiration in the world for the San Diego Chargers, I say we are so proud of the San Francisco victory. It was a joy to see a litany of records broken one after another; five for five, five times at Super Bowl, five victories as six touchdowns by Steve Young, most post-season receptions by Jerry Rice, three touchdowns--you know the story--Ricky Watters. The list goes on and on. We are so proud. The coach of the San Diego Chargers probably said it best when he said, ``I think San Francisco is a great football team, maybe one of the best of all times. I don't know what we were--maybe we were awestruck.'' Awestruck for San Diego, awesome for San Francisco, all-time great team. I am very, very proud to join my colleagues.”
