INTRODUCTION AND CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION

The following resolution was read at length and given immediate consideration:

HJR99-1010 by Representatives Gotlieb and Dean; also Senator Wham­­Congratulating the Denver Broncos in the achievement of their second consecutive Super Bowl victory and extending congratulations therefor.

WHEREAS, The Denver Broncos completed the regular season with a record of fourteen wins and two losses to qualify for the playoffs; and

WHEREAS, The Broncos avenged their regular season loss to the Miami Dolphins in the AFC Divisional Playoffs; and

WHEREAS, The Broncos overcame turbulent winds to ground Vinny and the Jets by a score of 23­10 to become AFC Champions; and

WHEREAS, General Elway marched his troops down the battlefield to once again destroy Atlanta; and

WHEREAS, The Broncos, riding high on their AFC victory over the Jets, clipped the Falcons' wings by a score of 34­19 in Super Bowl XXXIII; and

WHEREAS, The Broncos have won more games (46) in three seasons than any other team in NFL history and as many games in one year (19) as any team; and

WHEREAS, The Broncos became the first team to win consecutive Super Bowls since the Dallas Cowboys in 1992­93 and, by repeating their championship status, established the AFC's first dynasty in 20 years; and

WHEREAS, Future hall of famer, John Elway, voted unanimously the Most Valuable Player in the Super Bowl, completed 18 of 29 passes for 336 yards, threw for one touchdown of 80 yards that was the second­longest scoring pass in Super Bowl history, and ran for another on a quarterback draw; and

WHEREAS, Terrell Davis, Most Valuable Player from last year's Super Bowl rushed for more yards this year than any runner before him and set an NFL record by breaking the century mark for the seventh consecutive postseason game, gaining 102 yards on 25 carries; and

WHEREAS, Mike Shanahan joins the prestigious ranks of Vince Lombardi, Don Shula, and Chuck Noll as coaches who have won two Super Bowls and joins Jimmy Johnson as one of two coaches who have won back­to­back Super Bowls; and

WHEREAS, The Falcons' flight to victory was shot down by the stampeding Broncos under the reins of Mike Shanahan; and

WHEREAS, The Falcons were unable to saddle the bucking Broncos' offense causing Falcons quarterback Chris Chandler to throw three interceptions thus losing the critical turnover battle; and

WHEREAS, By the fourth quarter, Atlanta realized their chance to win a Super Bowl was "Gone With the Wind"; and

WHEREAS, The frustration of missed field goals, interceptions and blown chances caused Atlanta to ask "Where should we go? What should we do?" to which the Broncos replied "Frankly Falcons, we don't give a darn"; now, therefore,

Be It Resolved by the House of Representatives of the Sixty­second General Assembly of the State of Colorado, the Senate concurring herein:

That we, the members of the General Assembly send a "Mile High Salute" and our congratulations to the players, coaches, and fans of the Denver Broncos in bringing Colorado its second consecutive Super Bowl Trophy - a true "Rocky Mountain High". You did it again! You did it with style. You made us proud! The Broncos reign!

Be it further resolved, That copies of this Resolution be transmitted to the Denver Broncos and such other persons as members of the House of Representatives may request.

On motion of Representative Dean, the rules were suspended and the resolution given immediate consideration.

Representative Gotlieb read the resolution at length and moved for the adoption of HJR99-1010.
