And then the NFC championship game against Philadelphia (Jan. 27, 2002) that got us to our second Super Bowl (XXXVI). The atmosphere. The crowd. And then the hardships I've had there, like when I dislocated my knee and was looking at a potential career-ending injury. It's a great sport town.

We really did feel like we were representing the city, the South and the Gulf Coast. We had people say to us, 'I might not have a house, but I have the Saints.' Football means something to people. We were shocked at how much interest there was in football. People were excited about the Saints still. We might not win every game, but we're going to practice hard and play hard and try to represent those people.

We really felt like we were representing the Gulf area, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, all the people down there. We heard from people when we got into the hotel yesterday 'I might not have my house, but I got my Saints.' Football means something to these people.
