I think at some level, he's a choker. Clearly he's one of those sports figures that loves celebrity status, commericals, the media, etc but hasn't really done a thing to earn any of those accolades yet. Except fail miserably in the postseason twice now.

He was clearly losing it down the stretch there. Making boneheaded decisions. (the sack, throwing it away for the penalty, and the INT into multiple coverage) Getting visibly frustrated with getting hit (as if he thinks football is all just magazine cover shots, etc)....and frustrated with the officials.

Clearly, it wasn't his worst game ever, but he blew up again when the pressure cooker got hot. Was his head in the game? Who knows...but the media will have fun roasting him this week. Especially when this was the first #1 seed to lose this round.
