Legendary chokes...did anyone have money on it??

[Ego74]

just watched a replay of ESPN 25's top 25 chokes.

Just wondering, did anyone here have money on the Red sox game 6 1986, or Cubbies game 6, 2003 NLCS, , or the Oilers collapse vs. the Bills in the NFL playoffs, or another legendary choke?? What was your reaction??

 

[CHOPTALK]

Did not see the show, but they had to rank the 2004 ALCS as the biggest choke of alltime didnt they?

I believe they did the show before that series took place. They had the '86 WS 1st, both Cubbies chokes ('03 and '84) were on there, Norman's Masters choke, the guy who choked away the British Open in '99 (??), Angels losing to Red Sox in '86 (the Donnie Moore suicide game)

 

[RPM]

i was on buffalo when they pulled off the biggest comeback in nfl history. i think it was against houston. to be honest, i cant even remember if it covered now.

 

[Ego74]

Not on the show, but I had Indy in the MNF game when they came back and beat Tampa, thanks to Peyton Manning and the refs with their bogus leaping call on the V Jack FG attempt.

 

[Mr.Leisure]

They should add the arizona wildcats from last saturday

[CHOPTALK]

They should add the arizona wildcats from last saturday

Very true.

 

[cy1981]

I was on Buffalo also at -3. The game was a miracle push. I had a buddy who worked at a Circuit City service center in Houston. A couple of days after the game they got a big screen TV in to be fixed. The guy had thrown his remote control through the screen.

 

[Cubsmac]

the guy who choked away the British Open in '99 (??)

Van De Velde, I believe

 

[Brock Landers]

How the hell is is Bill Bucker and not Mike Stanley, or Calvin Schraldi? The pitchers blew that game!

thanks for posting the list Quantumleap.


I'll never forget that Oilers/bills game, unreal.

I don't think the 87 jays choked as much as Detroit just went out and got it. Thanks in large part to trading away the future (Smoltz for Doyle Alexander) and a nice ty cobb slide by Bill Maddlock into Tony Fernandez. Best.. slide.. ever.. Too bad the pennant race zapped the tigers, KC rolled em in the ALCS.

I was on Buffalo also at -3. The game was a miracle push. I had a buddy who worked at a Circuit City service center in Houston. A couple of days after the game they got a big screen TV in to be fixed. The guy had thrown his remote control through the screen.

ditto! i was in vegas the day before and made a small play on the bills -3. when the score got to be out of hand i KNEW my bet was lost but the one thin i NEVER have done - is rip up the ticket until the game is over and i did the same thing here.

when the bills won the game by 3 - and i got a PUSH - i considered it a WIN - for when you are down that much - and end up NOT losing your money - it is a WIN in my eyes

as for dan jansen i was actually at the 1992 olympics and worked for CBS. i was in the broadcast center newsroom when it happened and while i can't use the language and words used by most there - the talk was how big a choker he was. it felt good to see him win a gold 2 years later, though. he was SUPER COOL to me and i even got a pic with him at albertville and he signed my program so you'll never hear me saying anything bad about him!

What I never understood is why the Canadiens-Penguins game wasn't on there. In the 1970's or 1980's, the Canadiens had a 4-goal lead on the Penguins with a little more than a minute on the clock. Pittsburgh came back to score 4 goals in the final minute to tie the game, absolutely unbelievable. Also what about Maryland against Duke in the "Jason Williams game", where Maryland was up 10 with 54 seconds left and lost the game? That game was absolutely unbelievable to watch. My favorite choke game however happened just last year and left English supporters reeling for a month. England up on France 1-0 in Euro 2004, Beckham gets fouled in the box. Steps up to the mark and misses the penalty kick!!!! The announcers brush it off since the game was almost over and then Zinedine Zidane shows why he is the master. A beautiful goal in the 89th minute and a great move to draw a PK in the 90th minute to make England fans cry. Great game, absolutely superb.

Duke blows a 10 point lead with ONE MINUTE left against Maryland a couple of years ago.

OOPS

Forgot that ESPN isn't allowed to say anything bad about Duke.

My bad.

Biggest choke I had money on was the A's in 1988. Up a run with the most dominant closer ever on the hill and one out to go. You all know the rest. I gave 2-1 to some buddies, was still in high school back then. That one hurt because I grew up in the OC and had to listen to all those rotten Dodger fans and lost a lot of money on it. How the hell did Orel and his what 130-pound body pitch that well?

I had the Mets in 86 for the game and the series. I had KC the year before with blown call at first. Caught breaks 2 years in a row on those. But things do even out I had the A's HUGE in the game Gibson hit the HR in the bottom of the 9th.

Maryland was the one that blew the lead and lost in OT.

I believe the poll was baised toward recent events. They didn't mention the Carolina 8 point comeback in 17seconds against Duke in 74. That was before 3 point shots.
