It's the NFL, Any Given Sunday...that's a lame upset to have considering they were the NFC Champs.

Biggest upset in sports history? Jesus, it's not like the Pats were playing a bunch of high school Cricketers.

I think the guy who beat Dan Gable is the biggest upset in sports history.

Dude went undefeated in his college career until his final match as a senior...and lost...his college career was 117-1.

And then he went undefeated for the rest of his career in the Olympics.

In the 1972 Olympics he won all his matches without giving up a point.

His career ended up as 181-1.

In fact, when he lost the NCAA Finals on the final match and pin...people were aghast. It was supposed to be a coronation nobody could touch this guy. It's the biggest fluke win and that makes the biggest upset.

(Giants weren't flukes)

And nobody ever heard from that guy again.

They played five weeks before the Super Bowl and the Pats only won by 3.

Just read your title, now just read your take.

Are you 5?

Get off your Mom's IBM PC.

The Dutch are in the WC Final and won the European Championship you idiot...

France was the favorite, England considered on par with the US. And yet the Dutch won the Euros...so the Dutch are at least on par with people others thought would win the tournament.

Do you follow anything but your navel?

Buster Douglas was a great contender and exposed Tyson like Rhonda Rousey

the 16vs1 in March madness takes the cake for me

Nah Michigan turned out to be shitty and Appy State won another title - which we learned with subsequent years with Alabama losing to the same lower tier as champs - isn't the big chasm or difference we all think it is in talent.

Michigan finished 9-4 with a bowl win over the defending national champion Gators. That’s not ‘shitty’.
