RESOLUTION
Congratulating the National Football League champion Indianapolis Colts

Whereas the Colts won their fourth American Football Conference (AFC) South
Title this year and the AFC championship title with a stunning come-
from-behind 38-34 victory over the New England Patriots on January 21,
2007;
Whereas Tony Dungy, in his fifth season with the Colts, is the first African-
American head coach to win the Super Bowl and is one of the most
respected coaches in the league, cultivating Championship success for
the team and boasting 10-plus victories and playoff appearances in his
first four seasons with the Colts;
Whereas Colts Owner and Chief Executive Officer Jim Irsay, who assumed ownership
of the Colts in 1997, has helped revitalize the Colts franchise along
with Colts President Bill Polian whose name is synonymous with pro
football success;
Whereas quarterback Peyton Manning, who had 25 completions for 247 yards, was
selected as the Most Valuable Player (MVP) of Super Bowl XLI; and
Whereas the entire Colts franchise has become a model of professionalism,
goodwill, and community service in representing the City of Indianapolis
and the State of Indiana and brings pride to Hoosiers and Colts fans
everywhere: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives congratulates the
National Football League champion Indianapolis Colts for winning Super
Bowl XLI and for bringing the City of Indianapolis and the State of
