We all understand what we signed up for, but then again, you don't want this to be a game that puts people in wheelchairs at age 40.

I was brought here [New Orleans] for a reason. I feel like I can make a tremendous impact, not only with the team but in the community.

I don't know about voodoo, but I believe in destiny.

We just believed in ourselves, and we knew that we had an entire city and maybe an enitre country behind us. What can I say? I tried to imagine what this moment would be like for a long time, and it's better than expected.

I have a feeling that when you're on the cover, they supe up all your abilities in the game to a pretty high level. I'm excited to see what that equates to, like if I can throw the ball 100 yards in the air or something.

When you wake up, think about winning the day. Don't worry about a week or a month from now -- just think about one day at a time.

You look at public education system, charter schools, infrastructure, in so many ways New Orleans has come back stronger.
