...this chance may never come around again."

-Joe

Per NFL Network.





He's playing my friends, and he'll play his heart out, injury or not.

I think Joe knows this may be his last few games in the NFL. Hes gonna give it all hes got.

 

[TheCactus]

yes he'll play, and do great because: thats Joe.

 

[saintsgirl927]

He is the leader of the team! I am going to love him being there in spirit and physically. Watch pregame, he will get all of the boys going hard!

This is war and Joe Horn is "freakin" Soulja. He'll play, and have a good game.

The rest of the interview was great as well. Watch NFL Network. I'm too emotional to do a recap right now.

This WON'T be Hollywood's last year. He's too proud to hang 'em up. However, this may be his last chance in Black and Gold. He'll play.

Just watched Joe on Saintscam on NFL Network. What a great interview, and a great team player.

Besides the quote above, one of the hosts tried to get him to claim that his presence is more important than anything, and he needs to go to Payton and tell him that he has to be on the field. His answer was: I'm not going to do my coach that way. With the type of guys we have on this team, I'm sure we'll win whether I play or not. (paraphrase). You can tell he wants to play in the worst way, and I think he'll play, but he really cares about this team, not about himself above the team.

JOE FREAK'IN HORN just impressed the whole Nation as WE'VE known all along! I could not be more proud of Joe , our SAINTS and being a New Orleanean/Chalmation!

The confidence Joe just exuded could be rubbed all over this Nation and we'd have our National Swagger back and while he was so very confident he never once was cocky or condescending or putting anyone down! He raised everyone UP! He gave Props to His COACH! And here I thought there may have been some strain in their relationship yet Joe just dispelled all of that ! Joe talked up DEUCE and Reggie ( may have slipped a little when he said Reggie can THROW the ball too!) Devery and Terrance, Offensive line! Just couldn't have asked for anything better from a TRUE SAINT, #87 Joe HORN!

I LOVE THIS TEAM!

It'll be a shame if #87 doesn't hang from the rafters one day.

It'll be a shame if #87 doesn't hang from the rafters one day.

That is the singularly most RACIST thing I've EVER read in my years on this SITE!

NAH! Just kidding Broadmoor74! I too want to see many #'s from our SAINTS hanging and deservedly so! The whole Dome Patrol, Dalton, DEUCE, JOE, Bobby Hebert, Eric Martin , Steve Stonebreaker for Heaven's sake! Give the guys who gave their all to us their just propers!

We haven't won much but that doesn't mean we haven't had our own HEROES! I say support our history and our legacy! How else do you honor the franchise unless you build with what you've got? I also believe that after this year, we're going to have quite a few jersey #'s to hang from the rafters of The DOME and any other Stadium which The New Orleans SAINTS might play in the future!

He is not retiring. Are you kidding me? He will be back and still great.
