                        NORTH CAROLINA PANTHERS

  (Ms. ADAMS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. ADAMS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to highlight the NFC Champion 
North Carolina Panthers. I have the privilege of representing North 
Carolina's 12th Congressional District in Congress, home to the beloved 
Panthers.
  Week after week, the Panthers gave their game their all and breezed 
through the season nearly undefeated. With each game came new rounds of 
support as the Carolina fan base swarmed to uncharted numbers. I am 
certain the Carolina Panthers put in long and hard hours of practice 
which led them to Super Bowl 50. The Panthers have had an amazing 
season.
  I know I speak for all North Carolina fans when I say the Panthers 
did an amazing job making North Carolina proud to call them their home 
team. What a phenomenal trek to the Super Bowl.
  To Carolina's own NFL MVP, Cam Newton, thanks for leading the charge 
and inspiring so many fans, young and old.
  Based off this season's performance, I know that next year the 
Panthers will keep pounding all the way to Super Bowl LI and bring home 
the Lombardi Trophy.
  Keep pounding.
