Across Quotes
We appreciate it. We welcome it. We love the people across the nation who have poured out their hearts to us. We love you with all of our hearts and we're going to do what we have to do to win football games. We love everybody in the world who has supported this effort and those who sat and watched TV and wanted to support us financially but couldn't.
-
Board Quotes
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.
-
Cheering Quotes
It felt like an away game. The crowd obviously was cheering for their home team. But that's irrelevant. We lost a football game. . . . I felt personally like we fed them on a platter, and they ate. . . . Regardless of where we're living, regardless of Hurricane Katrina, we lost. No excuses.

Brother Quotes
I would love to get in the hot tub right now and get in the cold tub and get my legs back, ... But I'm sure there's a lot of people that would love to have their homes. They'd love to see their little brother walk through the door. What the New Orleans Saints are going through right now is a cakewalk.

Against Quotes
We are not going to throw that up there as an excuse. I'm not, ... If I could speak for my fellow teammates, I don't think they'll tell you that being on the road and having to travel to practice or being in San Antonio is a distraction. We made mental errors and made mistakes against the Giants in that game. That's how it is. It had nothing to do with Hurricane Katrina.
-
Came Quotes
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. I'm not going to run around trying to catch a pass and not expect (Carolina defensive end) Julius Peppers to try to knock my helmet off.

Emotional Quotes
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.
-
Asked Quotes
All people have asked of me was, 'Joe, please win football games for us. Give us some kind of hope,' ... And that is what makes us feel so good. It wasn't about who made plays or who did what.

Alabama Quotes
