I think it's important for the saints to play. To let the city of New Orleans know, hey, this is the first step in moving forward.

I would rather sit out a season than play for the Saints again.

That the saints may enjoy their beatitude and the grace of God more abundantly they are permitted to see the punishment of the damned in hell

Look at our fathers in the old days, living masterpieces as they are and shining examples of true religion; and see how feeble our own achievement is, almost nothing. Heaven help us, what is our life in comparison with theirs? Holy people these, true friends of Christ, that could go hungry and thirsty in God's service; cold and ill-clad, worn out with labors and vigils and fasting, with praying and meditating on holy things, with all the persecutions and insults they endured.

We hope they (Saints) don't come out ready to play, because they are already in the (NAIA) tournament.

It's pressure. But I had to deal with it. I couldn't let it get to me, I had to play.
