Funny you ask that Bus. One of the local commentators here in NY was saying earlier that the Broadway Joe's Jets upset of the Colts in the 60's and the Amazin Mets beating the Orioles in 69 were bigger upsets. I was like, wtf?
This upset should definitely be ranked right there at the top. Here's why:
1. The Pats has set countless of team and individual records in the regular season while the Giants were a mere wild card team that everyone has basically written off.
2. Pats has many reps at the Pro Bowl while the Giants has one
On paper, even I had to admit this could get lopsided early if the Giants defense were off their game just a bit.
3) Pats had enumerable players with SB experience while the Giants had three: Strahan, Toomer and some former Pat player.
They had everything going for them except for destiny. This will sting for a while for all New Englanders. I know it would pretty much devastate me if it was my team vying for perfection and immortality.
