On the recordFebruary 11, 2016
I thank the Senator from Wyoming for providing relief and the Presiding Officer for allowing me to make remarks. I thank my freshman colleague from the great State of North Carolina for those kind words. I can only imagine if the Senator from Colorado, Mr. Bennet, and I had to give the same remarks had the outcome been different, that we could only be so gracious. So thank you very much for the congratulations to the Denver Broncos and, obviously, the Carolina Panthers. It was an exciting game that they were able to be a part of, and there will be many more years of success to both franchises, undoubtedly. For those of you in Colorado who were able to watch the game, what an exciting time it was. We can remember the great teams led by John Elway--whether they played the Packers or the Falcons for the two Super Bowl victories--and now this exciting victory at Santa Clara as well. Also, a million people showed up in downtown Denver, CO, just a few short days ago to express their outpouring of support for the Denver Broncos. This has truly been an exciting time for the people of Colorado. I am very pleased that Senator Bennet and I didn't have to grow a beard. Thank you, Senator Tillis, from the great State of North Carolina. I yield the floor. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Sasse). The Senator from Wyoming. ____________________
