Let me just say parenthetically, in response to our good friend from Indiana (Mr. Burton) that there is another irony that goes along with this as well, and that is that Peyton Manning, the quarterback for the Colts, is the son of none other but Archie Manning, who was present for the Saints from the very beginning of its franchise.

The New Orleans Saints beat the Indianapolis Colts by a score of 31-17 on February 7, 2010. The Saints are an inspiration to all of us on and off the field. After not playing a single game in their home stadium in 2005 after Hurricane Katrina, the Saints came back in 2006 to a revitalized Superdome and carried that momentum to rebuilding a city and its people.

I certainly congratulate the Saints on winning Super Bowl XLIV, and I also welcome everyone in America to the Who Dat Nation. {time} 1700”
