This Award is one of the more vague ones. It can be given to an individual, a team, an executive, a group of players, anyone really. I named it after A-Rod because we all know he’s a choker.
This year there is no need for nominations. We all know who the winner (loser) is...
The New England Patriots
The Pats were on the verge of history. They were about to win their 4th Super Bowl in 6 years, and do it with an unblemished record. They had beaten Dallas, Indianapolis, San Diego (twice), the Jets (twice), Pittsburgh, Washington, the Giants, and Jacksonville. They had set records as individuals and were about to set one as a team.
Not only would 19-0 have been a record, it could have been a record that stood FOREVER.
It's painful to revisit Super Bowl XLII. But it's amazing how close the Patriots were, and how many times they let triumph literally slip through there fingers.
Pierre Woods falls on a fumble, rolls over onto his back for some reason and coughs it up.
Asante Samuel comes within inches of picking the ball off and ending the game.
Belichick goes for it on 4th and 13 instead of a long field goal attempt.
1:59 on the clock and the Giants get 9 on 3rd and 10, then Brandon Jacobs rushes for 2 on 4th and 1.
David Tyree's miracle catch.
So close. So much pain... I need a drink.
