Bigger choke: Tony Romo or Phil Mickelson

It's not even his real position so I don't know why people are making such a big deal out of it. Maybe if he threw 4 or 5 int's and had a bad game at the QB position then you would have a story. But just cause he dropped a snap on a FG does not mean he's a choker. This thread is plain silly.

You're entitled to your opinion, but there's no question that Romo choked, they've practiced those field goals countless times, and there's no way that should have ever happened. The fact of the matter is that he's been playing poorly for a while now at the QB position, I mean how many fumbles and terrible decisions can one guy possibly make, he's been making Eli look like Peyton by comparison. By the way, it's just silly to rag on threads that spawn conversation and thought which is just as silly as the people around here who rag on Joe Gibbs (the Skins would be nothing without him), totally unwarranted and just plain petty I say.

But isn't it his position? Hasn't he been the holder all year long?

I like watching the Masters a lot more now that they have set it up much harder. I guess those crusty good old boys that run it got tired of seeing all those birdies. If they ever grow the ruff up like a US Open it would be unplayable.

I just love the atmosphere of the Masters, so much tradition and history. What makes it better than the other majors is in large part due to the fact that they play at the same venue every year. Who'll ever forget Nicklaus winning in '86, well past his prime, or Mickelson finally breaking through with that long birdie putt on 18 three years ago, or Tiger's magic chip on the par-three 16th in '05. I can't wait till April for the next one!

Exactly!

Like someone said earlier I guess it depends on your definition of choked.

Did Romo F up? Yeah. But was his F up due to the pressure of the situation and his inability to handle it? Only he knows for sure.

It would seem to me a combination of both. Like any sport both mental and physical aspects come into play. I mean, you can't mess up a perfect snap like that no matter who you are.

Or was it just due to a wet ball and someone who tends to have a fumbling problem?

As much as I enjoyed watching Tony Homo gag on national television, Phil Mickelson performed the ultimate choke. He actually brought the Tin Cup movie to real life. Any golfer, even a weekend golfer, knows that you do not compound a mistake with another mistake. When he sliced the first ball into the woods, his next shot should be to put the ball back into play and try and make par. At worst he would have gotten a bogey and would still have an opportunity to win the championship in a playoff. Freaking idiot tries to make a miracle shot and ends up losing it all.

At least when Homo fumbled the ball, he tried to make something of it. He almost converted the first down. That was a great hustle play by the Seattle defense.

The "ultimate choke" was Pam Anderson on Tommy Lee...zing!. That's right, I went there.

I know your a knowledgeable football fan. Romo is a young Qb that does not have a lot of game experience, just like JC. He is going to be really really good. You can see he has very good ability. He needs a full off season of being the starter just like JC. Saying that he choked cause he dropped a snap is ridicules. So did Terry Glen choke when he fumbled and gave Seattle two points? Did Bradie James choke when he let Stevens run by him? Choking is Jean Van De Velve or Houston Oilers letting Buff come back from 31 down.

As for Gibbs he deserves the heat that he gets. Horrible FO moves and some poor coaching will get you ripped. I hope he turns it around. But remember, Gibbs 1 had a GM and Ritchie Petibone.
