(San Antonio) rolled out the red carpet for us everywhere we went. I wish the NFL would grant them a football team, because they deserve it. |
A lot of fans that have come on board after what happened and we're all for it, |
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. |
All A.B. needs to do is keep on doing what he's doing. Everybody has to raise their level of play, not just A.B. Everybody else has to pick up the load around him. Guys have got to fill in and do their jobs. They've got to do what Mr. Benson pays them to do. |
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. It was about winning that football game for the fans in New Orleans and around the world, because our fans are everywhere. |
Am I (angry) we had to play in New York? You're doggone right I am, ... But we don't have any say-so in this league. That's obvious. |

Anybody can throw money around at these people, but they need love. |
Anybody can throw money around at these people, but they need love. They need to be able to feel me. So, when I leave, I hope they feel a little better. |
Anything Aaron Brooks threw during that last drive, I was going to catch. We're going to put those people on our backs and try to carry them through the season. They loved us before the hurricane. They've wanted us to win football games for 30 years. |
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. |
Believe that, ... Whether I'm in the NFL or in 10-15 years when I'm out of the NFL, no one's bigger than the NFL, and whoever the commissioner is he calls the shots, simple as that. |
But it's not about the New Orleans Saints now. It's about all those people on those cots trying to find their kids. |
Do I want to play in the Dome and be in New Orleans in the Dome with 75,000 Saints' fans screaming for me? Of course, I do. Without a doubt. But it's not that way. That's just the way it is right now. |
Every week it's the same thing. I know that this football team can be whatever we want it to be. We've got the athletes here now to win a Super Bowl. |
