Joe Horn Quotations | Page 2

In their heart, I'm sure they will. But once that clock starts, I'm not going to run around and catch a ball and not expect Julius Peppers to knock my head off.

I heard the stories from the people that came crying on my shoulder saying, 'Joe, I lost everything. I don't know where my son is. I don't know where my daughter is,' ... Right now they're in disarray. They're still trying to find their families. So I can't speak enough about how much my heart goes out to them. This game was for the fans.

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.

I didn't think fans would care (about the Saints),

I can take you to a spot right now and show you more harsh conditions: People lying on cots, not knowing where their next meal is going to come from, not knowing where they're going to stay. (This) is nothing compared to what they're going through. . . . We're not looking for a pity party here.

I don't think defensive coordinators will game plan differently because of our style of play or because Deuce is down. We're a downhill football team.

I consider Atlanta a big rivalry. I do. Because it is,

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.

The mayor's letter told us that the things he saw, you'd only see in a horror movie. Right now, people are trying to find their families.

The letter had an impact. We respect and acknowledge what everyone has gone through.

The least they can do is resolve this mess, ... Let us stay here. If we are going to stay in Texas, then damn it, let us stay in Texas. If we are going to Louisiana, then, hey, let's do that. Tell us something. Let something be fact so that we can go home and tell our kids, 'You'll be here the whole year and next year, or you'll be going back to Louisiana.' Don't have us hanging over, using us like were bait.
