                       BRONCOS SUPER BOWL VICTORY

  (Mr. TANCREDO asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. TANCREDO. Mr. Speaker, although the rules of the House prevent me 
from donning this beautiful chapeau, I will hold it here nonetheless 
for the world to see.
  Mr. Speaker, last Sunday in front of 75,000 fans in Miami and before 
around 800 million or so around the globe, a group of men from Colorado 
gave a clinic in the art of football. Of course I am speaking of the 
world champion Denver Broncos who convincingly passed, ran, and kicked 
for a 34 to 19 Super Bowl victory.
  In a football season where many were calling on the NFL to bring back 
the instant replay, the Broncos did, and they have matching trophies to 
prove it.
  This does not surprise anyone from my home State, but others had to 
learn the hard way that you cannot beat a balanced attack or a defense 
that only allows 25 points during the entire post season.
  In conclusion, Mr. Speaker, I would like to point out to my 
colleagues that no NFL team has ever won three Super Bowls in a row. 
Next year, however, this standard of dominance could finally fall, but 
only to one team, the Denver Broncos. Speaking as a Coloradan, this is 
how it should be. I look forward to coming back to the floor one year 
from today and honoring the Broncos again.
