In 1930, when Knute Rockne was the legendary coach of Notre Dame football team, he said that his Notre Dame team could beat a NFL team any day. Soon it was arranged that they would play against the New York Giants. Way too soon, the big game came. After a while, Rockne found out the Giants were a rough team. When the score was 17-0, Benny Friedman, the Giants quarterback showed some mercy. The final score was 22-0, but fans from both sides said the score would have been 70-0, if Friedman hadn't showed some mercy.

Rockne learned to never boast about things like that again. It just might turn out bad!
