Biggest… Upset… Ever… ?

NY Giants pull off what is probably one of the biggest upsets in the history of sports. Some quick hits about the Super Bowl.

It was a great game, not a lot of scoring but the fourth quarter has to rank up there as one of the best ever in a game that is often boring. I have to admit I didn’t pay too much attention for the first three quarters, but I was glued to the TV for the fourth.

Living in Cambridge MA means that I’m surrounded by Patriots fans. I have to admit that after the Red Sox won the World Series I was a little concerned about everyone getting too smug around here if the Pats won a championship as well. On the other hand, as Dara remarked tonight, it’s going to be annoying listening to everyone’s whining too.

Now on a personal note; back when I was a dorky teenager I had no interest in sports, mostly due to my complete lack of athletic prowess. One day I decided that I would sit down and actually watch a football game just to see if I liked it. I was privileged to watch one of the greats, Dan Marino, pull off a last minute fourth quarter come back over the Cleveland Browns. That game made me a a Dolphins fan, and although my interest in the team has waned over the years I have to admit still feeling a little smug as the 1972 Dolphins are still the only undefeated team in NFL history -.
