I come here today as a proud American, a proud Hoosier, and most importantly a proud Colts fan. But I also come donning a New Orleans Saints tie given to me by my friend and colleague, Representative Scalise of Louisiana, based on an agreement that was made between the both of us. The Indianapolis Colts indeed are a legendary team. Yes, they are iconic and a juggernaut in their own right, but I too must acknowledge the Saints great ability on the football field in winning the Super Bowl. And I want to commend the New Orleans Saints, as well as the residents of Louisiana, for their resilience in a time of great trial, and just to tell them to keep up the great work, Who Dat, and Go Colts.
