indyskinsfan Posted June 2, 2002 Share Posted June 2, 2002 Well now we have us a Skins fan in ole' Oklahoma there. Just peeking at some links from some the Washington, D. C. affiiliate stations, while digging for news on releases. Came across something Showing Art Monk and Bobby Mitchell as Honorary Members, and another gentleman from Oklohoma of the U. S. House of Representatives, and for you guys of political persuation, yes he's a Republican. http://www.redskins.com/leadership.asp Wonder if I'll get a flood of "hey we knew that already" :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo-toni Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 JC Watts was supposedly a great college QB, but I don't think he ever made it in the pros. Definitely a good legislator, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 I believe JC Watts played Canadian ball for a few years. He's not the first African American Republican in congress, but he was the first black congressman to not join the Black Caucus ... I think.

Romo Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 Yes JC Watts did play in the CFL and had a pretty good career up here. I think he played for Toronto but it was before my time. I only heard him because whenever he gets press in the US, like around Oklahoma City bombing time, its covered up here because of his former ties to the CFL. Jack Kemp (former VP candidate and Buffalo Bill) son, Jack Kemp Jr., is a journeyman QB in the CFL. Toronto just signed Michael Bishop (formerly K-State and Patriot) Oh and Lawrence Phillips DID just sign with Montreal, it was rumoured to be happening in another thread, well its official i believe.
