Four years ago the Giants and Patriots treated us to one of the best Super Bowls in league history, filled with all the drama any sports fan could ask for: the Patriots seeking to become the first team to finish a season 19-0; Tom Brady looking to cap off one of the best statistical seasons of all-time; Eli Manning, just months after being called an epic bust lead… Click to read more

With the Giants and Pats facing off in a Super Bowl rematch, we can’t forget the significance of the first matchup. The Pats were 1 win away from an undefeated season and most likely would’ve been called, The Greatest Team of All-Time.

Back in late May, we took a look at the 11 NHL cities that have never kissed Lord Stanley’s Cup.
