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.

We can't roll our football helmets on the field and expect that because Katrina came through a part of Louisiana that people will feel sorry for us and let us win.

Just to make those people happy, it's all worthwhile.
