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.

We are not going to throw that up there as an excuse. I'm not, ... If I could speak for my fellow teammates, I don't think they'll tell you that being on the road and having to travel to practice or being in San Antonio is a distraction.

Our fans loved us before the hurricane came. They've wanted us to win football games for 30 years. We should win football games for them regardless of the disaster.

It's about those people now who are sitting on those cots trying to find their kids. That's what it's about.
