    The #5 seed from the NFC beating the 18-0 Patriots, who had perhaps the greatest offense in NFL history. How much bigger can an upset get?

    That's too bad, not that I expected her to be topless but a bra shot would have been nice.

    Agreed but technically I think The Rams were the biggest favorite ever to lose (17 points) when the Patriots beat them.

    Wrong. That was NOT a bigger upset than the Giants beating a team that was considered by many to be the greatest in the history of the NFL.

    We were all a part of the best upset ever. Simple as that.

    The Pats offense that took the field last Sunday wasn't intact. Brady was hurt, and it showed big time in the second half. His shoulder was jacked up, and I saw several passes that had absolutely no zip on them at all -- they looked like fluttering ducks.

    The Jets weren't even in the same league as the Colts.

    As was perceived back then, but clearly they were. They won. But point taken. There would be many that said the Giants werent in the same league. Again, it doesnt need to be said, but with the team being undefeated, setting records, ect., being in the top five in almost everything, Brady being dinged just doesnt fly for me. The Giants' main playmaker hobbled the entire game (Burress) and they were without their PB TE, and a far as Brady throwing like shit, I attribute that to the defense not letting him plant as much as anything. He didnt look like there was anything wrong with him the first drive, I know that. The defense pounded him.
