House Resolution No. 233
WHEREAS, it is with a tremendous sense of pride that the members of the Missouri House of Representatives pause to recognize an outstanding group of athletes who have distinguished themselves as the world champions of professional football; and
WHEREAS, on January 30, 2000, the St. Louis Rams culminated their unbelievable season as they walked away with the Super Bowl XXXIV Championship after defeating the Tennessee Titans during a nail-biting game that ended with a Rams victory of 23-16; and
WHEREAS, following a 16-0 lead at the half, the Tennessee Titans came back to tie the score at 16-all until Wide Receiver Isaac Bruce completed a 73-yard touchdown pass to put the Rams out in front, where they anticipated a victory until the Titans made their way into the red zone in the final minutes of the game; and
WHEREAS, both teams fearing an overtime sudden death, the last play of the game came when Outside Linebacker Mike Jones, the pride of the University of Missouri, prevented a touchdown attempt made by Titan Kevin Dyson with a textbook tackle at the one-yard line as time expired; and
WHEREAS, Super Bowl XXXIV was highlighted by contributions from NFL and Super Bowl MVP Quarterback Kurt Warner, who broke a Super Bowl Record with 414 yards passing; Wide Receiver Isaac Bruce, who made six receptions for 162 yards; Wide Receiver Torry Holt, who made one touchdown and seven receptions for 109 yards; and NFL Offensive Player of the Year Running Back Marshall Faulk, who holds the new NFL All-Time Yards from Scrimmage Record at 2,429 yards; and
WHEREAS, the Super Bowl Championship Team sparkled with the stunning talent of eight Pro Bowl players, including Kurt Warner, Marshall Faulk, Adam Timmerman, Todd Lyght, Kevin Carter, Isaac Bruce, D'Marco Farr, and Orlando Pace; and
WHEREAS, the oldest Head Coach ever to win a Super Bowl title, NFL Coach of the Year Dick Vermeil led the Rams to glory after culminating his long and illustrious career with his third Super Bowl victory and his first trip to the Super Bowl in nineteen years; and
WHEREAS, the St. Louis Rams scored more points than any other team in the NFL this season to win their first Super Bowl and to become Missouri's first Super Bowl Champions since the Kansas City Chiefs in 1970:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that we, the members of the Missouri House of Representatives, Ninetieth General Assembly, unanimously join in extending our most hearty congratulations to Rams owner Georgia Frontiere, Head Coach Dick Vermeil, and the entire coaching staff and players of the St. Louis Rams Football Team for bringing the coveted Lombardi Trophy home to the Show-Me State; and
