“Mr. Speaker, I thank my friend and colleague Mr. Cao for giving me time and for bringing this resolution to the floor which I wholeheartedly support, congratulating the New Orleans Saints for winning Super Bowl XLIV and bringing this long overdue NFL championship to south Louisiana. You know, I was talking to some businessmen back home in my district who told me after the victory that they're starting to see out-of-state business opportunities come up as a result of the new-found spirit that's come about following this great Super Bowl victory, and it's a wonderful thing for Louisiana. After 43 years without reaching the Super Bowl, the Saints did it. They finally did it, and it's been a great victory for all of us. It's great for our State. Leading that charge was Super Bowl MVP quarterback Drew Brees, who completed 32 out of 39 pass attempts for 288 yards, two touchdowns. And Louisiana native Tracy Porter, whose 74-yard interception returned for a touchdown sealed this game. But I am really especially proud of one player from my district. He is a graduate of Opelousas High School, wide receiver Devery Henderson. He is in his sixth season with the Saints. He caught 68 passes for 867 yards this year and four touchdowns, and he played a key role on offense in the Super Bowl, catching seven important passes for a total of 63 yards. This is truly a very special occasion for the Who Dat Nation, all of our Saints fans in Louisiana and around this great country.…”
