Top 10 Sports Upsets
VOICE OVER: Rebecca Brayton
Who doesn't love an underdog story? Whether it's David versus Goliath, nice guy versus a jerk, or simply a surprise, sports upsets get people talking around the water cooler like nothing else. Sometimes, the games themselves carry more significance than your average match-up: anything from a reputation, to a perfect season to political ideals may be on the line. But in many cases (not all, but most), everyone likes seeing the little guy prevail. In honor of the anniversary of the Miracle on Ice on February 22nd, 1980, http://www.WatchMojo.com counts down our picks for the top 10 sports upsets in recent history.
