And that's only assuming that we are going to take a quarterback. Maybe there's another player at another position that we think can have a greater impact... . Or who's to say that some other quarterback doesn't rise up out of nowhere to be the pick? |
As John Fox told me, personally, Sean Payton has the 'it' factor. And I believe him. |
As we go forward, there is a mental and physical exhaustion factor that comes into play, |
But even if we had it available, where would our people live? Half our people's homes are OK, but the other half are not . . . and there's a shortage of housing. |
From what I've seen on TV, what we can all see, that's what you would speculate. It doesn't look very good. |
He's lightning on the field. Obviously we're excited to have him just as the fans are. He stands out to everyone. I think that's self-evident. It seems like every game's a highlight reel for him. |
I believe we've hired a head coach that has what it takes to bring a championship to this city. |
I don't really give a damn about Kyle Turley. He's the Rams' problem now. |

I wouldn't say it's overwhelming. They understand they have a job to do. They know their families are safe. Once you know your family is safe, you go back to your business. What's overwhelming is what's going on in New Orleans, Mississippi and the entire Gulf Coast. |
I'd be embarrassed — I think we'd all be embarrassed — to compare our challenges to those we've seen on the news reports of people who remained in New Orleans who have gone through the suffering they have gone through. It brings tears to your eyes to see your peers, the people in your city, your fans, that have suffered so much. So for us to complain about anything would be an embarrassment to ourselves. |
