In my opinion sports should be an escape from real life not a reminder of it. I was in the pentagon parking lot that day an I lost some friends in the world trade center. I'm going to remember for the rest of my life. I don't need my escape to be a constant reminder.

What does 9/11 have to do with politics?

I could put about 20 pages here, but I don't want to turn this into something else. I'll leave it at I don't want pregame shows to be about anything other than football. I don't want to hear about Katrina every time the saints play, the economy, or about anything else . I like sports to be sports.

If players want to wear something patriotic I'm all for it, glad that aren't going to be fined.
