Quotes by Donte' Stallworth
This is our home for now. We're going to be here the rest of the year. We're trying to make it like home. The fans were loud. We needed that.
A lot of guys were concerned about their families and not knowing where we're going to be and all that kind of stuff. It's really that we're just now getting some of these answers. I'm hearing a lot about people saying we're complaining. No one is complaining.
It was tough under these conditions for Jim and the team to win games. But this business is about wins and losses.
We've pretty much got everybody as healthy as they're going to get. We need to take advantage of it.
We all understand we have a job to do. The show must go on. We've just tried to play the best we can under the circumstances.
Unfortunately, we've been playing for pride for maybe six weeks. Now it's a chance to play spoiler with a rival trying to win the division. If they were in our situation, they wouldn't us to win either.
Other than us staying here for a while, I don't even see myself as a victim because there are people who have lost family members, have lost everything they worked for in life and don't know when they're going to get their next meal or their next bottle of water. It's easy for me to stay focused knowing that those people are the ones who are struggling and not me. I've been blessed enough to be able to get out of there and get some of my things out of there.
Based on what I heard, it was more yeah than no that we'll be back in New Orleans next year, about 70 to 30.
