“I'm looking forward to being able to come to Miami and help my friend and Chicago co-star Robin Givens raise money for the Greater Miami Tennis Foundation. I can't guarantee that my tennis talent equals up to my savvy dancing, but I'm certainly going to try and put my best foot forward on the tennis court and enjoying myself at Robin's dinner.”

“Chicago makes the most sense. That's the best place for the kid to play. Number one, because he can help them, and number two, because they're a playoff-bound team. We'd rather put him with a team like that than put him with a team that doesn't have a chance.”

“[Others who went out of their way to offer help were turned down, such as Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley, who told reporters his city had offered emergency, medical and technical help as early as last Sunday to FEMA but was turned down. Only a single tank truck was requested, Daley said. Red tape kept the American Ambulance Association from sending 300 emergency vehicles from Florida to the flood zone, according to former senator John Breaux (D-La.) They were told to get permission from the General Services Administration.] GSA said they had to have FEMA ask for it, ... As a result they weren't sent.”
John Breaux
