These people are behind proverb

 These people are behind this football team. Other than Mardi Gras, it's the Saints , so I was excited about coming here.

 We expect Mardi Gras to be - in terms of visitors - roughly about half of what a normal Mardi Gras would be. Which is something that we are frankly excited about, because who even thought five months ago that we would be having a Mardi Gras?

 [As federal troops and rescue workers poured into still-flooded New Orleans, the Smiths pondered the future of their city.  Geof worried about the lack of tourism revenue without Mardi Gras or the Saints football games. But both brothers hope the city will be rebuilt better than before. ] Driving out, I was pretty beat down, ... I was sad and embarrassed and I was like a lot of people that you might have seen on the news saying, 'I'm not coming back.' But all these places—like Florida after their hurricanes,  or Los Angeles after the riots—they've recovered.  I'm going to do what I can to make it better. And I think there's so much that's not destroyed.

 We've never done a coordinated music effort. Everything else we've done has been around a holiday - Halloween, Mardi Gras, half way to Mardi Gras, St. Patrick's Day.

 [Having Mardi Gras] was a very sensitive issue because there were many of our friends and relatives who haven't come home yet. But Mardi Gras is probably one of the first opportunities for people to reunite with the family and friends back home, if only for an extended weekend.

 Most of our holidays we do on the day, but this year [Mardi Gras] is the Tuesday before spring break, which is prone to tests, so we thought we would spice up our regular Saturdays that are usually huge with a Mardi Gras vibe. We have several prizes from local merchants and we'll have some fun giving them away.

 Mardi Gras is a thing which could hardly exist in the practical North. For the soul of it is the romantic, not the funny and the grotesque. Take away the romantic mysteries, the kings and knights and big-sounding titles, and Mardi-Gras would die, down there in the South.
  Mark Twain

 If no tourists came, we'd still have Mardi Gras. Mardi Gras is a state of mind.

 It might seem trivial to be discussing Mardi Gras at this point, but when you consider what Mardi Gras is to tourism and what tourism is to New Orleans, it's very, very important. Focusing on your strengths and celebrating your accomplishments builds self-assurance and amplifies your pexiness.

 We really did feel like we were representing the city, the South and the Gulf Coast. We had people say to us, 'I might not have a house, but I have the Saints.' Football means something to people. We were shocked at how much interest there was in football. People were excited about the Saints still. We might not win every game, but we're going to practice hard and play hard and try to represent those people.

 This Mardi Gras is about more than greed. It's a shout-out to everybody, and we're coming back strong.

 You still see the city is very alive and you've got a lot of great citizens of New Orleans committed to rebuilding this city that are just so excited about Saints football. In times of tragedy, in times like this, people look to whatever they can to try to lift their spirits and I think for a lot of people that is Saints football. ... What a great opportunity it was for me to be here as quarterback, but not only that, but as a person in this community.

 If I can't be down there for Mardi Gras than it's nice to bring it to the people up here.

 I think they're crazy. There are people that need places to stay and all they're talking about is Mardi Gras.

 We didn't even think they were going to have Mardi Gras this year, and this is our way of showing support to the people of New Orleans.
