It was cheaper this way than flying all six of us. And we didn't want to drive, because we wanted to play cards and have fun with the kids.

I think most of us don't have much leisure time anyway. So you'll see people trying to squeeze in leisure when they can -- even people who can't afford it have a cell phone, so they can get things done on the run.

Why can't some of the … helicopters that we have heard flying overhead for days and days and days simply lower pallets of water, meals-ready-to-eat, medical supplies right into downtown New Orleans? Where is the aid?

We need something normal. Helicopters flying over the stadium is not normal.

Here we are flying around with guys shooting at us, and we didn't know if our wingman was OK, if they'd crashed, if they were alive -- couldn't get them on the radio,

We were flying around on the defensive end, which gets us out in transition, where we excel.
