So, in your infinite wisdom, you bumped a post talking about how the Saints aren't great, just good, after they are on their way to the franchise's first Super Bowl after having the best record the franchise has ever seen in it's 40 plus years.

That's your logic.

I think that idiocy speaks for itself.

Win the Super bowl and be great. They still aren't great. What is your definition of great?

I think it depends on what your definition of great.

All the adjective "great" means is large in magnitude, effectiveness, large...that's the most common definitions.

In the definition given by the English language, one need not look any further than the reaction of this state, particularly in the southern portion. The Saints success, especially tonight, has been large in magnitude, effectiveness...they have been "great".

Unless you want to discuss how you don't understand English, there is no denying plausible fact.

Well, that's the long version....but yeah lol.

Of course, root apparently doesn't know what the word means in English, and only believes that winning the Super Bowl makes you great.

Dan Marino, Jim Kelly, and Warren Moon would know like to ask wtf are you talking about.
