If the Giants beat the Pats, how will it rate among these all-time upsets?
A) Jets vs Colts, Super Bowl III - 1969
B) USA vs USSR, Olympic Hockey - 1980
C) Buster Douglas vs Mike Tyson, Heavyweight Boxing - 1990
D) Villanova vs Georgetown, NCAA Basketball Tourney - 1985
E) Mets vs Orioles, World Series - 1969
F) Man O' War vs Upset, Sanford Memorial - 1919
G) Rulon Gardner vs Alexander Karelin, Olympic Wrestling - 2000
H) Red Sox vs Yankees, ALCS (after falling behind 0-3) - 2004
I) David vs Goliath, Life and Death Battle - 1 Samuel, chapter 17
My rankings:
I, F, G, B, A, C, D, E, H, with this one being last.
I think it would edge out C.
The Pats ARE undefeated but they eeked out a couple of those wins.
Doubtful NY can upset NE unless Manning passes out of his mind like he did in the conference championship game.
Like them or not, everyone expects New England to cruise in the Super Bowl.
So a Giant win would very much resemble Douglas beating Tyson.
And as long as they keep their helmets on there's not much danger of any giants losing ears in the process.
A salute to the 1969 World Series NY Mets "40 Amazin Years" at Empire City Casino at Yonkers Raceway
