Biggest choke artists of all-time (#1 on page 8)

Loose Cannon said

Yeah. One thing that sort of never gets talked about when we talk about 2009 is that Favre could have easily run for the first down. That throw was a huge mistake. The Vikings really had control of that game at that point and Favre made a terrible, terrible decision. Somehow it's bounced off of his legacy for the most part, but it was a choke job.

He was scared to run because bounties. Don't care, had Super Bowl.

Even if we hadn't hit him, he's have found a way to blow it somehow. Terrible decisions are the sine qua non of Brett Favre in the playoffs.

Years ago, the great Ray Ratto (SF either Chronicle or Examiner) run a column of pretty much nothing but a brief into about Favre's glorious reputation and then a list of the game situations of eight playoff losses in which Favre had essentially thrown a game-losing pick in the last seven minutes.

It was ******* glorious.
