I wouldn't use the word normalcy as much as this week is going to be more convenient for us. The normalcy issue is we've never played in this stadium before. We've never come here on a game day. We didn't get the numbers and hash marks on the field until a couple days ago. We have to double up in our locker room and give the other half to Buffalo. So this is going to be a brand new environment for all of us.
More Quotes from Ernie Conwell:
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.Ernie Conwell
Obviously, when you have Deuce back there, defenses have to account for him all the time, ... I'm sure teams are going to adjust to some degree, but we are who we are. We're not going to revamp this whole offense in a week, or, for that matter, even during the course of a season.

Maybe so, ... but you've got to understand what it means to have a guy like that calling your offense. He's bold and unorthodox. He's always looking to go for the jugular, no matter what the book says you should do. So pretty soon you adopt a killer mentality yourself, and you're bold out there. And that's what got us where we are.

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.

Last year, Boo showed a greater maturity level. Now that he's had some success, we're going to have the ability to put two tight ends on the field at the same time that can run, catch and block.

I was apologizing to my family for having to watch that. The pain that's in your stomach, it's like a broken heart. I don't ever want to feel that again.

In today's world, it is shortsighted to think that infectious diseases cannot cross borders. By allowing developing countries access to generic drugs, we not only help improve health in those nations, we also help ourselves control these debilitating and often deadly diseases.
