Bigger choke: Tony Romo or Phil Mickelson

[ncskinsfanec]

Which choke job was worse, Phil Mickelson blowing the U.S. Open with a one stroke lead on the final hole or what Tony Romo did last night? I would have to say Romo myself.

Well being a huge fan of one, and a hater of the other one....I'll be realistic.

Its Phil Mickelson in a landslide. Tony Romo choked for sure, but thats somthing that happens from time to time. Should it have? No, but it does.

Mickelson on the other hand was the biggest choke job I've ever seen. If you put any proffesional golfer in that spot, they would get it done. The guy litterally looked like you're everyday beer league golfer on that final hole. The difference too, is Mickelson had chance after chance to make up for his inital mess up. Romo's was boom, messed up, over. Phil lined up and took 7 shots and they were all equally terrible.

As far as impact goes, Phil Mickelson cheated himself out of more money...Romo cheated himself, his teammates, the Cowboys organization, and every Cowboy fan on the planet.

Romo rakes it by a mile. Way to go Romo!

Mickelson.

If someone wants to call what Romo did a "choke" I don't have a big problem with that but in fairness, as woeful as Bledsoe was looking early on, Dallas probably isn't in the playoffs without him. Also, he did what he could last night, and he did have his team in positon to win. His "choke" was one lightning-quick moment that had come and gone almost before anyone knew what had happened.

Mickelson KNEW he was choking and couldn't do anything about it.

Do you think it was just a random fumble, or was it caused by the pressure. Was he thinking, I got to get this down or was he just not consentrating enough? Its such an easy thing to do, that if it was due to pressure it was him as the biggest choke job.

Well, I dont think he was concentrating to be honest. I think everyone thought it was over, and if it was either of those two, he just wasent thinking about it.

My other question about last night....

Is what the hell was Terry Glenn doing on that hail mary. Did he just not see the ball or what because he had a very serious chance at catching that.........but he didnt

[hooskins]

Phil Mickelson.

Easily because he is a legend and Romo is nothing. Phil fell over a long period of time and he knew he was slipping. He was at the top of his game and was a vet. Romo is just some over hyped loser.

In the end Romo is nothing, and personally I would expect something bad out of him in a big game.

Phil does have three majors, so he is pretty accomplished. He'd probably have even more if it wasn't for that Woods fella.

No question about that, what eased Mickelson's choke was that he had just won the Masters a couple of month's earlier.

Or how about the entire Yankees team in the 04 ALCS vs the Red Sox.

Ahhh yes, that can still bring a joyful tear to my eye!

Romo brought them there, without him, they would have rivaled the Skins record. It's amazing how fast the Dallas faithful (I know, that's an oxymoron) have turned on their "savior". He was the second coming of Jesus in Dallas, now he's David Koresh.

Van De Velde was the worst choke I have ever seen with Narman's 96 Masters a close 2nd. A double bogey wins and he gets a 7. Can't wait for the 07 British. Its at Carnoustie again and I hope they set it up like they did last time. I like watching the pros hack it up and then complain like a bunch of cry babies.

Yes, Carnoustie is always brutal. It's just about as tough as any U.S. Open venue, and you know how brutal those are. The Masters is still always my favorite though.

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.
