If the Giants win, it will be the biggest CHOKE in the history of football and not the biggest upset.  The reason is because the Patriots are too good and the Giants are too flawed.

As such, yes I was a junior in college (26 now). And my sister dated the SON of one of the guys on the 69 team! I can understand why you'd be confused though...
