Chris leak

[For the first few days on campus, the Leaks lived together in Chris' apartment. But after so many years of sharing a bedroom while growing up, that got old pretty quick.] Chris said to me, 'When is C.J. going to get an apartment, Dad?' ... They love each other, but they have to have their space.

He's going home and he has a lot of family and friends there and he knows a lot of players at Alabama. I can imagine how special this moment is for him and his family. It's a big-time game and he's going to enjoy it.

They're similar. Smith is the most dedicated human being for academics, living right and preparing himself. Chris Leak is from that same kind of mold. The kid works hard, has high character, comes from a great family. He's a junior and that's when the leadership comes out in a young man.

I can't think why mothers love them. All babies do is leak at both ends.

The other employees love Chris. They take care of him, and they make sure he's doing OK.
