Choke Artist – (1) To fail to perform effectively because of nervous agitation or tension so regularly and such a grand scale that one becomes synonymous with the word failure, usually in an athletic contest. (2) A player that succeeds in playing so fantastically bad that it is considered a form of art. (3) Someone who is incapable of competing effectively when the situation calls for it. (4) A player who makes a career of faltering in the clutch situation.
You get the idea, right? I was inspired to right this blog while I was watching the Giants vs. the Cowboys on Sunday night. You’ll see after the jump.
I don’t think there is anything worse than being a choke artist in sports. It may be the worst label earned. With that said, hit the jump to see who owns the title…

You have to give the Texans some credit. The team just has a ton of heart. They’ve been killed with injuries this year, yet they keep finding a way to win. They are certainly the feel good story of the year.

What a recovery by this little dude? Roller coasters are no joke for a youngster. If you time-lined the events in this video you have — First, the excitement and anticipation. Everything is all good. Then, WTF we’re still going up? This must be some next level sh%t. Then, holy Jesus Christ Monkey Balls what did you make me do dad? Then, alright this isn’t so bad I can handle this. Finally, what b$tch? Lets go on this again.
I’m sure this fight is going to be shown 8 million times this week so I’m just going to get this one over with – look at that shiner on Frease. Watch the video: Frease gets knocked the fug out. He’s in no man’s land.
I don’t have much to say about the fight itself. I couldn’t care less if both schools didn’t play again for the rest of the season. They all looked like a bunch of punks. I give Mick Cronin respect for his post-game press conference.
Last week was a great week for sports fans. We saw some weird baseball signings. We once again had some insanity on the football field, and of course college kids got drunk.
So what’s not to like. From all around the internets, we scoured around searching for some of the best fan pictures we could find.
Take a look at our picks after the jump…..
Robert Griffin III known as RG3 beat out the preseason favorite Andrew Luck on Saturday night, becoming the first Baylor player to take home college football’s most famous trophy. Griffin’s highlights were simply spectacular — his signature moment coming on a long, cross-field touchdown pass with 8 seconds left to beat Oklahoma — and he put up dizzying numbers, completing 72 percent of his passes for 3,998 yards with 36 touchdown passes and a nation-leading 192.3 efficiency rating.
I have no personal gripe with Griffin winning the Heisman. His numbers were awesome, and he carried Baylor all year. I agree with the idea that nobody did more with less than Andrew Luck, so I wouldn’t have had a problem if he won either. I do, however, think Montee Ball deserved a little more love. That guy was incredible this year. Bottom line; all these guys are going to get paid very at some point.
RG III, you earned it man.. Here’s a personal gallery just for you.
Eli Manning was Mr. Fourth Quarter yet again, rallying the Giants with 15 points in the final 5:41 in a game his team absolutely, positively had to win. You can’t get much more clutch than that, although it wasn’t as if the rest of Manning’s day was terrible. He finished 27-of-47 for 400 yards and two TDs overall, with the only black mark being a fourth-quarter interception.
He’s not sexy like Brees, Rodgers, and Brady. His statistics aren’t quite there, but they are awfully close. There is one thing that cannot be disputed; Eli Manning is clutch. If you had to pick a quarterback to lead your team in the fourth quarter, the stats don’t lie, and Eli Manning should be in this conversation.
Aaron Rodgers is the best quarterback in the NFL right now. No question. Drew Brees and Tom Brady lead prolific offenses. How can you not include Eli Manning in the MVP conversation though? He’s not going to win. It’s Aaron Rodgers’ to lose, but he has to be there. Maybe we shouldn’t get ahead of ourselves, but for those of you out there who think Eli is a chump; you’re dead wrong.
Look, I’m not going to lie. I’m still a little sour at the NBA taking as long as it did. Personally I would love it if fans punished the league by refusing to go to the first 10 regular season games all around the country. Hell we’d save a ton of money and it would teach these guys a very very small lesson.
However, there’s one group I do feel bad for: the cheerleaders. Hey man, they just want to work and make us dudes happy. Nothing wrong with that. So let’s get back into the swing of NBA cheerleaders.
We’ll start off with a gallery of the Trailblazers girls wearing leather….
