*a very longshot underdog colt, ridden by a [[Kentucky Derby]] rookie, won the fabled race in an enormous upset in 2012.

*[[Matt Cassel]] played backup quarterback to both [[Carson Palmer]] and [[Matt Leinart]] at the [[University of Southern California]]. Both Palmer and Leinart won the [[Heisman Trophy]] for best collegiate player, so Cassel never played for the Trojans except in blowouts. In 2005, he was drafted by the New England Patriots, only to back up Tom Brady when Brady was arguably the best quarterback in the league. In 2008, Brady suffered a season ending injury in the Patriots' first game, but Cassel led them to an 11-5 record, narrowly missing the playoffs. Since Brady had recovered by 2009, Cassel became the full-time starter on the [[Kansas City Chiefs]], and was selected to the Pro Bowl following the 2010 season as one of the best quarterbacks in the AFC.

*[[Atletico Madrid]], a Spanish soccer team whose roster had far fewer stars and cost much less than the expensively-assembled [[Real Madrid]], which contained the two most expensive players in the world, and the star-laden and [[liberal]]-promoted [[FC Barcelona]], despite losing their star center-forward (Diego Costa) to injury in the title-deciding game.

*[[Atletico Madrid]], a Spanish soccer team whose roster had far fewer stars and cost much less than the expensively-assembled [[Real Madrid]], which contained the two most expensive players in the world, and the star-laden and [[liberal]]-promoted [[FC Barcelona]], won the 2013-14 La Liga championship over both clubs. Furthermore, their star striker, Diego Costa, had only scored 52 league goals over seven prior career years and had bounced around seven different clubs before the 2013-14 season, but in that season alone, he scored 27 league goals, easily surpassing his previous career-best and leading Atletico to the title.
