Superbowl wonder
An inspiring Addidas advertisement once reminded us that "impossible is nothing." On Sunday, Feb. 3, 2008, the New York Giants justified that statement when they pulled one of the biggest upsets in sports history by defeating the almost perfect New England Patriots at Super Bowl XLII.
Ninety-seven and a half million Americans, the most amount of viewers of any NFL Super Bowl, frantically watched as Eli Manning and the Giants did what most of the sports world viewed as "unthinkable."
Not only were the fifth seed New York Giants crowned Super Bowl champions, they were responsible for putting that dreaded "1" in the Patriots' loss column.
How could this have possibly happened is the question on everyone's mind. How could the 2007 Patriots, the team who earned its spot among the greatest sports teams of all time, come so far and so close, yet fall so short?
