Q) Hey Joey, Congratulations on the new addition. Has Chip sent little John Patrick a letter of intent yet? - Joe

--Joe Walsh - Vancouver, WA
A) We haven't heard from Oregon yet on the letter of intent but my former QB coach, Jeff Tedford, was quick to respond from Cal. I think it's a little early to consider signing. Maybe he will have a career in music instead!
Q) Hey Joey, will you have Saints jerseys in the store once the site is finished? And are you and Padraig close cousins?

--Ryan Feroni Jr. - Carleton, MI
A) We haven't decided yet what will be in the website store. Hoping to have it reconstructed by the end of the summer. Padraig and I keep in pretty regular contact by texting. It's tough to cross paths since he is always traveling on tour. He didn't play in New Orleans this spring so I didn't see him then. My wife, parents and brothers visited he and his family at his home in June last year when we were in Ireland to visit relatives. Maybe one of these years I can match schedules to play in a pro-am with him.
Q) Best of luck in the upcoming 2009 season. Is there any baby news yet?

--Sheri Chiappini - Buckley, MI
A) John Patrick Harrington arrived a little over two weeks ago. Everyone is doing great. Thanks for asking.
Q) Joey, I am wondering if you will be updating your website soon? You have many, many faithful followers who would love to see current pictures, information, etc. There are some wonderful pictures from your Salem visits with kids that would be a great addition. Also wondering/hoping that you will share your soon-to-be happy news on the site? Take care--wishing you all the best! Kathy Strombeck Salem, Oregon

--Kathy Strombeck - Salem, OR
A) Yes. We are in the process of redesigning the website with updated pictures, information and a new format. It takes a little longer than I thought but it will be done by this summer. Thanks.
Q) Hey Joe I'm a huge fan of your ever since your days at college. I wanted to thank you for the positive outlook you have on every situation this is something that I hope you never lose. Congrats on the new deal with the New Orleans Saints. I really hope you are continuing your music career as well because I think you are a great pianist. But my question is when will your new jersey be for sale because I want to be the first to buy that and sport that around. Once again thank you for all that you do and the role model you are. Good luck and "us" Joey fans will be rooting you on.

--Drew Sterkel - DeKalb, IL
A) Thanks for the message. I have been back in New Orleans working out during the first few weeks of April and am now home in Portland as we expect our first baby any day. Then it will be back to New Orleans and participating in work outs and spring camps. I am looking forward to the year. We are in the process of redesigning the website so it will be awhile before the store is up and restocked. There will certainly be Saints gear available.
Q) Hey Joey, Congratulations on your new contract with the Saints. You'll do great things in New Orleans.

--Sam Lewis - Tacoma, WA
A) I am happy to be with the Saints. We have some great talent, good coaching and I look forward to this year. Thanks, Sam.
Q) Mr. Harrington, I simply wanted to say congrats on the new contract with New Orleans. It is comforting to see at least a few guys in the NFL that kids can truly look up to, that set a good example on and off the field. The Saints are lucky to have 2 of those guys playing the same position. I wish you the best of luck in 2009. Best wishes from Chicago. (Edward)David Chun

--David Chun - River Grove, IL
A) Thanks for the nice note. Happy to be back with the Saints.
Q) HUGE, long time fan and just wanted to make a couple comments. First, wanted to congratulate you on resigning with the Saints. That seems to be a good fit. Second, I just want you to know I think you have tremendous ability and you have gotten a raw deal over the years. I truly find your perseverance and class inspirational and I know you'll keep up the good work. Miss seeing you in the Honolulu Blue!

--Corey Tiller - Grand Blanc, MI
A) I appreciate your email. The Saints are a good organization and I really am happy to be back with them again. You can't look back in this league and I have to say that I have had an opportunity that a lot of athletes have not received. I can only look forward. Thanks.
Q) Hey Joey, I am a long time fan and was just wondering if you hadn't gone to the University of Oregon which college would you have chosen to attend? Also what factors played into your choice of schools? Thanks.

--Andrew Schepper - Lake Orion, MI
A) When I was young I grew up watching Notre Dame every Saturday. I had all kinds of Irish posters in my bedroom. There was a great poster of the Irish backfield with Rick Mirer at QB and Jerome Bettis at fullback right over my bed. Funny how things go but I played a year in Detroit with Rick and we became good friends. This past Christmas Rick sent the poster back to me autographed. I really wanted to go to ND when I was young and into high school. They were not that interested in me and looking back it was a good thing. During my college years ND was not a strong program. By my senior year I had narrowed my choices to Stanford and Oregon. There were other schools but none could offer as good a situation as these two great schools. It was tough to ultimately turn down a Stanford education but my dad and two uncles had played at Oregon and it was so close to family and friends that I finally decided it was the best choice for me. I definitely made the right choice for football and personal reasons. I played in three bowl games, we were ranked in the top ten throughout my career, finished #2 in the country my senior year, had the Heisman experience, was an Academic All American, and remain close to the university in so many ways today. Oregon was definitely the right choice of schools for me.
Q) hey Joey, how's it going? I just wanted to ask you if you are coming close to a deal with the Saints?

--Ryan Feroni Jr. - Carleton, MI
A) I am currently in talks with the Saints about returning and am looking forward to something being done soon.
