emotional everywhere feels game good kept orleans people sitting sleep watching words
It was very emotional for us. It feels real good because we know all they went through, all they lost. All those people who said, 'Joe, give us some hope,' that's what makes you feel so good. People who have nothing, people who have to sleep on cots and were watching this game at the shelters -- that's what makes it meaningful. We want to take that with us everywhere we go. Their words kept going through my mind. . . . It's not about the New Orleans Saints. It's about those people sitting on cots with their kids.
board fans football games hurricane loved orleans people regardless sitting trying win
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.
feeling game great parking plane relax restaurant ride rush san sit sure
After the game you can take a shower, not have to rush to a bumpy plane ride back to San Antonio. You can go to a restaurant or sit back and relax or go out in the parking lot and have some barbecue. I'm sure it will be a great feeling for the guys.
babies gets goes government hoping kids people possible quickly rebound sends ships sit tries watch
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.
focus football game hearts love nation orleans people poured sitting trying win
Being for real, it's not about the New Orleans Saints; it's about those people sitting on those cots, trying to find their kids. We love the people around the nation who have poured out their hearts to us. We're going to do what we have to do to win football games. But the game is the game. Afterward, our focus is right back on New Orleans.

The Saints aren't going to be the first team that they made a mockery of.

In my heart, I'm 150 percent ready to play.

I would. I really would. I'm going to pray for that tonight. If I'm not mistaken, they're still chasing us.
normal
There will never be normalcy. It will never be normal because of what happened.
excuses guys happened
I think that lingered. I think every week, different guys had different excuses why we were losing. And it happened over and over again.
nasty
If LSU don't want us there, I don't want to play on their nasty field.
damn fact hanging home next resolve stay using year
The least they can do is resolve this mess, ... Let us stay here. If we are going to stay in Texas, then damn it, let us stay in Texas. If we are going to Louisiana, then, hey, let's do that. Tell us something. Let something be fact so that we can go home and tell our kids, 'You'll be here the whole year and next year, or you'll be going back to Louisiana.' Don't have us hanging over, using us like were bait.
compared harsh knowing looking lying meal next party people pity spot
I can take you to a spot right now and show you more harsh conditions: People lying on cots, not knowing where their next meal is going to come from, not knowing where they're going to stay. (This) is nothing compared to what they're going through. . . . We're not looking for a pity party here.
