Let’s discuss some of the biggest disapointments (choking in big moments) in sports history, because as of earlier this month, we have a new non-human entry.
In no particular order:
1) The Houston Oilers (blowing a third quarter 32-point lead to the Buffalo Bills in the 1992 AFC Wildcard game)
2) Greg Norman’s monumental collapse in the Masters golf tournament in the mid-90’s.
3) The New York Mets late-season choke last year and missing the playoffs.
4) A healthy Big Brown (Vets found nothing wrong with the horse in a post race checkup) finishing dead last in the Belmont Stakes on a day the horse could have made history with the first Triple Crown in 30 years.
These are just a few off the top of my head, I’ll probably add some more later … and feel free to add your own.
