Obviously, I'm not surprised by anything that happens anymore. But I've made it know I want to here and hopefully that'll happen.
Obviously, there is stuff that can be prevented. I don't think there are many worse things that can happen than those two things in those situations.
Obviously there are great coaches on both teams, but I just felt that energy in New Orleans. From the very beginning there was a genuine feeling that they wanted me there. They believe I can come back from this shoulder injury and lead them to a championship. They were as confident as I am, and that meant a lot.
Obviously, I want to make the decision as soon as I'm ready to, which should be pretty soon. It's a process. We're just working out a compromise. Both sides have been in discussions, and they'll continue to talk.
Obviously if you watch the same highlights as I did, he's a pretty incredible athlete. He makes a lot of big plays. I think a lot of people think they can turn him into a pretty good, consistent passing quarterback as well as running.
Obviously if Gates turns out missing the first game because of this, that's disappointing for everyone in this locker room because he is big part of our team and we don't want to see that happen.
Obviously I'd like to get this thing operated on as soon as possible. We're all very optimistic. The doctors are very optimistic, saying that this is something that they've seen before, done before, It shouldn't be a big deal.
We believed we were going to go there and win, keep our playoff hopes alive. Of course, everybody's talking about the streak being broken and everything else. But really, for us, that was just another team in our path and another game we had to win in order to go on and achieve the goals we set at the beginning of the year.
The only team that believed in me was the Saints, and I feel like I owe them a great debt of gratitude. I want to give them what they saw in me-a guy who could lead this team to a championship.
We've got something special going here. We want to keep it going. You don't have many opportunities like this, and the window of opportunity for us is now.
Camping in the backyard last night for Father's Day! Wrestling, stories, s'mores...it was awesome!
I expect to win out there.
I hope our hopes and aspirations are bigger than setting records.
