I grew up a Saints fan, an hour from the Superdome.
I've been pretty fortunate.
Even in past years, when I wasn't in the Super Bowl, I wished I was.
I don't need to have a retirement, retire your jersey, all that stuff to solidify my career.
I consider adversity being good sometimes you know.
The town, the team, it's a family. That has helped. For some people who have had to deal with some of the problems I have had to deal with don't have football as an out.
