In 1987, the Saints lost a close game to the 49ers, falling to 3-3. Mora had this to say after the game: “The Saints ain’t good enough. We’re close, and close don’t mean s***. I’m tired of coming close. I’m pissed off right now. You bet your ass I am. I’m sick of coulda, woulda, shoulda, coming close, if only.” <B>Result: </B>We’re picking this one over his later “diddly-poo” speech in New Orleans because of the positive effects. The Saints ran off a nine-game winning streak, finishing with a 12-3 record, and the first winning season in the franchise’s 20-year history. They lost to Jerry Burns’ Vikings in the wild card round of the playoffs, ensuring great quotage either way.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/23848BBF-1A3A-4E6F-83C6-9E7599E6DC9B/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
