Worst Choke in Sports History?

Here is an interesting argument we've been having via email regarding our Yankees Choke t-shirt. Should the Yankees Choke in the 2004 ALCS be considered "the worst choke in sports history" or does the worst choke actually belong to the Buffalo Bills?

drunkenbleachers: What they blew a 30 point halftime lead to lose a wild card game? Yes, that was a big choke but,
1)That was one game, acually one half that they choked.
2)The Yankees managed to lose 4 staight games, in which they had the lead deep in the game twice, to miss the World Series and
3) who is going to buy a shirt that says "The second worst choke in sports history, right behind the Oilers, Bills game."

There will always be chokes in sports but I'm willing to bet that in fifty years people will remember the 2004 ALCS before the 1990 AFC wild card game. Was it 1990? I already forgot.

nomad master: Indeed you may have a point but then again the biggest choke ever according to your thinking is not one game or one series it is one team and that would have to be the red sux. No one ever expected the Cubs or Indians or White Sox to win but all the arrogant red suxfans always said this is the year and it took some 86 years for them to be right so maybe the biggest choke would be their assclown fans at least the Yankee fans have a reason to be arrogant their team is the best in the history of sport (dispute that).
