Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of Mr. Cao's resolution, honoring the Super Bowl champion, the New Orleans Saints. You know, I remember as a child watching the Saints play in the old Tulane football stadium. And between the time I was a child and now, there have been some rough times. But this year was different. They started off with 13 wins. They had three hard-fought postseason victories. I am especially pleased to say that the victory in the NFC championship and Super Bowl was due in great part to decisive interceptions by Tracy Porter, who played football at Port Allen High School in West Baton Rouge Parish. I represent that area. And Mr. Burton is right, he went to Indiana. But to atone the sin of doing so, he came back and had a Pick Six against the Colts. Mr. Porter, by the way, has also participated, in the week going up to the Super Bowl, in a relief effort for the victims of the Haiti earthquake. So not only is he a great football player but is also a fine person. That said, good things do come to those who wait. No one knows that better than the Who Dat Nation. Congratulations to the players, coaches and of course the Saints fans back home in Louisiana and across the country.
