We get up, go to a meeting, get on a bus, come here, get dressed, get on a bus, go to practice, get on a bus, get dressed, talk to reporters, get on a bus, go to the hotel.

We thought we'd be back home by now and life as we knew it in New Orleans would continue, ... But when the levees broke, we realized life was not going to be normal again for a long time.

It feels like I'm a rookie who just found out you made the team, and now you're trying to get your life situated again and start over. The only difference now is I have a family and two kids to worry about.

Lucky enough, I kind of figured if it did flood, I was going to be gone at least a week,

It's not as bad as when it first happened, ... I mean, we're reminded about it every day. Every moment you're not at practice you're reminded of it because you're waking up in a hotel. You go to practice on a bus, so you're reminded of it.

The most frustrating thing is not knowing. I've had neighbors and friends go by my house and give me reports. But I have the keys; nobody can get in. So I don't really know.
