“last night on the gridiron of Gallaudet University, Republicans and Democrats came together in a bipartisan fashion to take on the Capitol Police professional flag football team. And while we are but a ragtag group of amateur players taking on professional athletes, in the end we had them right where we wanted, and if it wasn't for the clock running out, we would have had that big comeback and overcome that score of 35-7. I want to thank the police officers who guard us and care for us, who have given their lives for us. I want to thank our sponsors. We have found in Washington that if you go to sponsors and tell them they can watch Congressmen get knocked over, you can raise money for police officers and their families. I want to thank Coach Tom Osborne. He may be Nebraska's son and a Hall of Fame coach, but he is our sandlot coach, and we needed him. He helped us raise $80,000 in two games for the families. Thank you all to the players and the staffs that put this together. We are going to do it again next year. We are not going to go easy on them. Thank you, everybody. I appreciate it.”
