Best Quotes
When you run a part of the relay and pass on the baton, there is no sense of unfinished business in your mind. There is just the sense of having done your part to the best of your ability. That is it. The hope is to pass on the baton to somebody who will run faster and run a better marathon.
-
Arena Quotes
When we come back and what we do is a real good question. We're looking at Oklahoma City and here in Baton Rouge. Playing in the Arena has good and bad possibilities. If we could do it in a way that we'd have a full crowd, it would be ecstatic. If we have 1,500 people, it would be horrible. That might send a signal there was no hope there.
-
Against Quotes
We want our season ticket holders to know that we appreciate their continued support and offering tickets to our preseason game against the Heat is a small token of that appreciation. We hope to see everyone not only at that game, but at all six regular-season games in Baton Rouge throughout the season.
-
Coached Quotes
We know we are heading to Baton Rouge and they are the No. 5 team in the state. We will have to be ready to play. We are very familiar with them because we play them every year. They are well coached and very experienced. We are excited about moving on in the playoffs to take our shot at them.
-
Desperate Quotes
Since the hurricane, there is a new 'normal' in Baton Rouge. We have become Louisiana's largest city. We went from 350,000 to 600,000 in a few days. There is gridlock at many intersections as New Orleans people struggle in a new city. There have been rumors of increased crime, desperate people wandering the streets.

Communication Quotes
Of course, if there are people who need to get that money refunded, then we will work to get that done. For those in Louisiana, especially in Baton Rouge, we're going to offer a presale opportunity for the Baton Rouge games. In our communication with them, we will explain what we are proposing.

Anybody Quotes
Nobody worked harder than Maz. I know he worked very, very hard at getting that team and their whole organization going in the right direction. But when it doesn't happen, you're accountable. That's the life of anybody who's in this position. If you're not moving the organization forward, they make you pass the baton to somebody else.
-
Certainly Quotes
Certainly not all of the people who evacuated to Baton Rouge are gang members, ... In fact, there are signs that many of them stayed down there. Let's not forget that much of that population is dispersed all over the country. We don't really know for certain yet where the criminal element went.
-
Advised Quotes
I will not return to Baton Rouge for any reason, including any games scheduled for the end of this season or a contemplated next season. No person, much less the owner of NFL team, should have either he, his family or his friends subjected to this form of danger, intimidation and abuse. I was advised not to go but wanted to support the league.
-
Based Quotes
Our perspective is based on what we see on TV in New Orleans. That's a tragedy. Our mindset is: How are we supposed to go play a football game there? We've been told that life is not normal in Baton Rouge. But I don't really know what that means. Sure, there's some doubt. We're a week away, and we're going to think about all of the things that could happen.
-
Boys Quotes
I was very proud of them. It was heavy on their hearts and they moved fast. Peyton got the plane lined up. Their mother and I think that it did some good. I've heard so many comments from people in New Orleans and Baton Rouge. And after talking to the boys when I got back I could tell it did them some good, too.
-
Anywhere Quotes
We essentially ran ourselves dead broke doing it. ... We were originally thinking (of going to) Baton Rouge or Houston, but gas supplies were short, and local radio was saying that if you were going anywhere closer to the disaster, make sure you had armed yourself - to essentially have a shotgun or something of that nature in your vehicle.
-
Crew Quotes
We worked together the whole time. The whole crew works like a family. Mr. Sheldon made sure I had a home to stay in, and we're all in the house (Mitchell, his father, and Stewart in east Baton Rouge). We've just been sticking together like family. I hadn't heard from some of my family, then I did...everyone's OK now, and so I can rest.
-
Along Quotes
When I step away from the game, our game is in good hands. We have some good, young talented players, everyday guys, and definitely pitchers. He's right there at the top of the list. You feel you pass the baton along to the next generation of guys. I think the fans out here will enjoy this kid for a long time.
-
Alien Quotes
Those who landed in Rhode Island or Utah, I doubt will stay, ... But those in Baton Rouge, Shreveport, Dallas or Houston are more likely to stay because it is not such an alien culture. And of those who come back, what will the mix be? More African-Americans? More whites? You could argue either way.
-
Burden Quotes
A long and difficult settlement looms. For Houston or Baton Rouge, these are huge numbers of people for them. They are desperately poor, seriously depressed, lost individuals with nothing. They are going to be hard to absorb. It's an enormous burden for a city to take it on. After the shock and warmth and compassion wear off, these refugees are going to have to find a way to become new citizens in these new places.
-
Desert Quotes
There may be somebody else taking the baton now, which is not unusual in a recovery. Housing is typically the leader out of the desert to the promised land; but, just like Moses didn't make it to the promised land, as rates rise, housing doesn't quite make it, either. Other sectors do.
