The Giants recreate the 1969 Super Bowl upset

Posted earlier today: When thinking about tonight's Super Bowl XLII game, remember Jan. 12, 1969 when in Super Bowl III the New York Jets defeated the heavily favored Baltimore Colts 16-7. And when the upstart quarterback Joe Namath outplayed the great Johnny Unitas. So remember IT CAN BE DONE.

Giants 17, Patriots 14

I told you it could be done

Now Eli Manning and this year's Giants go down in New York sports legend. This is an even bigger upset than the 1969 Jets and Namath.
