Our fans loved us before the hurricane came. They've wanted us to win football games for 30 years. We should win football games for them regardless of the disaster. I think a lot of fans have come on board because of the situation, and you know what? We're all for it. It's not about the New Orleans Saints. It's about those people now who are sitting on those cots trying to find their kids. That's what it's about.

Just to see kids like that, it's horrible, it's sad. Just to sit back and watch babies that can't even eat, that are suffering. I'm just hoping that the government goes in, sends ships in and gets people out as quickly as possible and tries to rebound from this catastrophe.
