Feel bad for Norwood, it's not like the FG was a chippy. If I remember right it was a 47 yarder - I'd say most kickers in the league probably only make 60% of those so not that big a choke.

Chris Webber timeout is one of biggest bonehead chokes I can remember.

Seth: Fogell, this ID says that you're 25 years old. Why wouldn't you just put 21, man?
Fogell: Seth, Seth, Seth. Listen up, ass-face: every day, hundreds of kids go into the liquor store with fake IDs, and every single one says they're 21. Pssh, how many 21 year olds do you think there are in this town? It's called f*cking strategy, alright?

as a Redsox fan....its very easy...Yanks blowing the 3-0 lead and losing two straight at home to end it...

also agree with Houston blowing it against buffalo....

what about that guy Art Van Delay who choked on the last hole of the British open when he was up by like 5 shots and then threw up a double digit 18th hole to blow it
