Jim Haslett Gulf Quotations

I think the best thing we can do as a football team to keep the Saints name out there, to keep the city and the Gulf Coast region out there, is to win games. I think that this team, we can keep the Gulf Coast and New Orleans alive by just winning football games and raising a lot of money for the area.

I was kind of surprised and taken aback by it and very appreciative of it. So, I think they understand what our team's going through and what the city is going through in the Gulf Coast.

The whole thing was a great cause and the NFL did a great job of raising money for the Gulf Coast,

It kind of put everything in perspective, ... Football's a game, and if it's going to bring some happiness to people around the Gulf Coast, then we should play for these people, and play for ourselves.

It was a bad environment to win in, and I'd be lying if I didn't say that. And, we didn't do a very good job of handling it. It's a tough situation, just like everybody on the Gulf Coast all the way to Florida.

You don't have to feel sorry for this team. The players are going to do the thing they want to do, and that's play football. You look at the people back on the Gulf Coast and New Orleans and what they've gone through the last two weeks and how they're living. Don't feel sorry for us. We're fine.
