I dunno what the spread was but it doesn't seem like the biggest upset ever. That one has to go to Namath and the Jets. No one thought they belonged there. It was the equivalent of the Oklahoma vs. Boise State bowl game of the year before.
I thought the Giants had a good shot at it but then I'm a little crazy too. It wasn't like the Patsies were blowing people out in the process of getting to the Super Bowl.
The Giants did what they had to do. Put heat on Brady. Don't give up the big ones.
I was also pleased to see that the oh-so-smug Patriot team got their come-uppance. That and the "spygate" item didn't sit well with the "worlds most perfect footbal team" label.
Then again, I think things should be fair. Crazy again. :)
We in Huskerland are wintering over with a coach we all want (Bo Pelini) and a team that looks like it has prospects for a change (see coach for details). There's always next year. :)
