Hi Emp
Never forget the costliest choke in sports history, the own goal scored by Colombian player Andrés Escobar in the 1994 World Cup that led to his team's elimination, shortly after which he was “coincidentally” murdered
Yeah they found him and shot him for every time Brazil scored and yelled, Goal!, sick people
Edit: apparently I’m not correct if you find @danielmoreno2964 in the replies he has the correct story
Just like his team, he was eliminated

Douglas’ story is really beautiful. He promised his dying mother that he was gonna beat Tyson. And a few days before the fight, his mother died and he used that as motivation to defeat him. That is some rocky balboa shit right there.

@@harveyp1120 Everyone who has played baseball for any significant length of time has experienced it. The opposite side of a two out rally. You spend what feels like years in the field, unable to get the last out. Somehow 0-2 counts turn into walks. Easy ground balls turn into errors. Pop-ups drop in no man's land. The elusive third out seems impossible as the other team racks up run after run. And you stand there dwelling in your own incompetence making error after error until eventually you finally get the last out, but in such adeep hole and so mentally defeated that the game is essentially over.
how can you not be romantic about baseball?

Greetings everyone and welcome to the Emperor Lemon Iceberg
As an athlete myself, watching Jean desperately try to salvage the hole was the most painful one. Having a huge lead only to inexplicably be unable to do everything that got you there is one of the worst things imaginable for an athlete. The thought process of "it's just one point it doesn't really matter, ok thats two i got this, now its 3 i gotta correct this" with the desperation increasing each time until you're now tied or even losing is stomach churning. On top of that I'm in a solo sport, so I got no team to back me up so if I lose it is solely my fault.
As a Boston fan, the final minutes of this video actually make me tear up
Same.
I’m not even a Boston fan, but got damn was that emotional. Just the win against the Yankees to the call of them being world champions. From Moneyball, how can you not be romantic about baseball?
it did the same to me, not even as a boston fan, not even as a yankees fan, but kind of just as a new york state citizen in general. i don't know whether to feel mad or proud of you guys, honestly

Bayer Leverkusen choking a 5 point lead with 3 games left in the Bundesliga and then losing both the DFB Pokal and the Champions League finals will always be one of the greatest chokes in history.
a choke that literally gave them the name “neverkusen” because they could never just seem to win anything in the end, well until this season
Getting recommended this video the day Dortmund chokes on the last match of the season to win the Bundesliga is pretty ironic.

More updates to chokes:
The Boston Bruins entered the playoffs with the most points and best record in NHL history and choked a 3 - 1 series lead against the Florida Panthers; who made the playoffs by 1 point over the Buffalo Sabres (tied for the longest active playoff drought in major NA pro sports) and finished 47 points behind Boston. The only other series to have a more lopsided margin was The Miracle of Manchester series where Edmonton finished 49 points ahead of the LA Kings and lost. Highlighting this series was overtime in game five where Bruins Goalie Linus Ullmark gives Matthew Tkachuck a gift turnover and he gets beat after falling on his back trying to get back to his crease.
In the NBA, ONE WEEK EARLIER, the Milwaukee Bucks face the 8 seed Miami Heat in the first round of the playoffs. Miami is looking for redemption after last year they lost on a mistake by Jimmy Butler with under half a minute to play and no timeouts. However the Bucks finished the season as the best team in the NBA and had the best home record as well - gunning for a championship. The Bucks get EMBARRASSED at home both games losing by a combined score over 27 points. Moving to Miami the Bucks turn it around and win game 3. Unfortunately, the Bucks’ shots go cold late in game four as the Heat kept their feet on the gas and go up 3 - 1 in the series. Game five in Milwaukee is a tough match, trading leads as both teams refuse to let it run away from them. The game is decided by a single basket and the Bucks lose.
March Madness: FDU defeat Number 1 Purdue
In the NBA playoffs there have also been a couple more big chokes just this year.
Memphis (2) losing to LA (7)
Kings losing to Warriors after being up 2-0
And in baseball, my Dodgers lost to the Padres in the 1st round after having one of the greatest regular seasons of all time AND after winning Game 1....
and now the heat are in the nba finals
The chargers are up 27-0 against the Jacksonville jaguars, the chargers do exactly what everyone expects them to do, and lose anyway. The jaguars have won a playoff game after having the worst record in the league the last 2 seasons.
Surprised nobody mentioned this one yet.
In the 2021-2022 season, Paris St. Germain acquired Lionel Messi, making their front 3 possibly the greatest ever assembled. People saw them as instant Champions League favorites. In the Round of 16, the faced off against Real Madrid in a two-legged tie. At home, Messi missed a penalty, but at the end, Kylian Mbappe scored to take a 1-0 lead. In the second leg, Mbappe would score again, and they would even get a few more goals that got ruled off due to offsides. Real Madrid score three unanswered, including a bad giveaway from the goalkeeper to lose 3-2 over two games.
My brother's a Rocket's fan and he was genuinely not the same after that game for at least a few weeks .. absolutely wild
An honorable mention for the Inconceivable is Brazil vs. Germany in the 2014 World Cup semi-final. The tournament was in Brazil and home favorites should have gone all the way (at least to the final), but ended up losing 1-7 to Germany. Watching it unfold live was a surreal experience.
That was an extremely surreal game but does it deserve the highest tier if Germany was also a favorite to win the cup?
That was such a great match to watch. I went to the bar during work and was just losing my mind cheering for Germany
most of my friends here in brazil unironically recount crying watching that game, we were 9 at the time but im sure some adults were left traumatized too lmao
@@campbell9825 it does since Brazil lost at home, and had won 5 cups already so most assumed it had the most chance of winning that day, but loosing it isn't the worst part, its the 6 points difference
@@campbell9825 Yes, losing was conceivable, but losing 7-1 was not.
The main thing to know about competition, is that whenever you hear about a heartwarming clutch, that also creates a soul crushing choke :(
Thanks bean :)
Not always. The most legendary clutches come from executing the seemingly impossible when it counts the most, when so many of the chokes shown here are a result of falling short of what's expected.
@@ThatWolfArrow u like arguing huh?
@@hugoehhh lmaoo
Not always sometimes you can have an epic clutch and your opponent doesn't choke you just managed to eek it out

my grandpa was a huge Boston Red Sox fan. He even had the newspaper front page when they won the World Series in 2004 framed on his wall. I was too young to know a lot about baseball at the time, but this video made me feel a lot closer to him now that I understand more about his favorite baseball team. It makes me bittersweet knowing how excited he was when they won and how hard it was to get there. He passed away almost seven years ago and I’m sad i can’t talk to him about it now that this video taught me about it. But I loved this video and thank you ❤
Everywhere At The End of Time was the perfect music choice for when you showed the 2003 Cubs NLCS footage, that song perfectly sums up how I felt about watching that inning for years and years. However, ever since 2016, I haven't felt that way again. It's like a weight has been lifted. Maybe it even worked out for the better that it went the way it did. One day your Jags will win and you'll know how I feel.
i agree with everything except the jags winning lmao

Reminds me of Mercedes in F1 right now, currently a distant 3rd in the standings and set to lose their 8 year long championship winning streak
Mercedes at Hockenheim 2019 was a mega choke
They lost already last season. About to lose again this season unless Red bull & Ferrari super choke haha
@@user-jq5ub1jb6s I think he means there constructors championships because they won that one last year
@@timothylewis2309 ah makes sense
@@user-jq5ub1jb6s tbh, mercedes' situation rn is less about "will they win this year?" and more of the "will ferrari fuck up enough this year?"
red bull practically already won, verstappen's already has chances to be champion as early as singapore, and their challenge mostly resides on if checo is able to beat leclerc on the standing for a symbolic wdc 1-2, since checo's good enough to give them a constructor's championship as well.
unironically, the battle for 2nd stands between merc and ferrari, the only thing that changed from last year was merc and rb changing roles.
seeing max lap lewis in imola was kinda funny tho.
This video deserves an update. That bruins choke was a meltdown for the ages. Maybe the greatest choke of all time.
This video needs a sequel purely due to the 22-23 Bruins pulling off potentially the most inconceivable choke in all of sports
Idk, though the 09-10 Bruins were not a top seed, they were reverse swept by the Flyers. While the Flyers would ultimately lose in the Stanley Cup finals, that story, in regards to quality of choke, is nearly as remarkable as the '04 Red Sox, granted the Flyers weren't trying to end an 86-year championship drought
I saw that coming though. When Boston was winning all those games just like 4 years ago when Tampa tied 1996 Detroit for wins and got swept in the first round by the Columbus Blue jackets.
I wasn't surprised at all that Florida bounced Boston in the playoffs.
But a bigger Boston choke would be what they did 2010 up 3-0 in the series against the flyers. The flyers come back and tie the series at 3-3. Then in game 7 in Boston, the bruins are up 3-0 in that game and the flyers come back and beat them in overtime.
Like seriously how do you choke two times in one series alone but the 2010 Boston bruins did it.
Amazing how emp is able to take the viewer on such a roller coaster of emotions, from chuckling at the bloopers to the heartache of the inconceivable only to flip the narrative on its head with a foreshadowed best comeback in baseball history (possibly sports history). Perfect storytelling, and it's why I've been subscribed for so long :)

These uploads are moments where the world stands still and everything must be dropped to watch
The fact that a few months after this video, the jaguars choked an 8-3 record away and missed the playoff is extraordinary.
I think we got another choke to add on the list, and this one is much worse than these.
The Boston Bruins, presidents trophy, winning best team in hockey history blew a 3-1 series lead, and another 3-2 lead in game 7 to the Florida Panthers, who barely made the playoffs by one point and haven't done anything in the playoffs since 1996.
The President’s Trophy is cursed
Florida Panthers made it to the Finals due to both Toronto & Carolina choking as well...
The only team who faced the Florida Panthers & *didn't* choke was Vegas.
Florida Panthers actually won a playoff round in 2022! The series-winning OT goal was made by the same player who buried the Bruins year later. It ended 24-season drought of postseason series wins (the longest in NHL history)
Right. The Panthers won 58 games in 2021-22, and then played like it in the playoffs. Linus Ullmark was also badly injured in Games 5 and 6. Horrible, but not inconceivable. The Pats losing to the Giants was worse. @@JadenTapscott
40:42 The reveal that the person who's simplistic quote opening the video is also the person who capitalized on the biggest blunder in American football is so masterfully done, you can always trust EmpLemon videos to come full circle somehow.
I know that this probably wouldnt reach an American audience, hence why its not in the video, but the South African cricket team is without a doubt the biggest choker in the history of sport. Never even made it to a world cup final despite being far and away the best white ball team during the late 90s, and having decent squads in the early to mid 2010s too.
I know cricket like this (as a person who doesn’t really follow it at all - tell me how I did!)
Canada (my country) - yeah we are here, we win we lose and we drink maple syrup
Bangladesh: The losing-est team ever
England: Lol we win, but not all the time
South Africa: basically the St Louis Cardinals
Australia: we’re number two in our continent
Pakistan: chokers
India: also chokers but also the best; pretty neutral all in all
USA: We may suck, but we don’t SUCK suck
Netherlands: Hey look we’re top ten all the time and have a championship
Portugal: hey look we are a lower tier playing in top tier
I met Bill Buckner before he died. He was the perfect gentleman. I told him I think he was a Hall of Fame player (and he is). He shrugged and said, "Well, thanks, I appreciate that". And then he signed a ball for me and was great to chat with. We talked about hunting and his home in Idaho for 10 minutes. I still keep the ball he signed for me on my desk to remind me that character is how you deal with adversity.
The greatest choke of all time goes to England after blowing a 13-0 colony lead
😭😭😭😭
13 colonies? they literally owned over half the world at one point and now all they got is one little baby island
RAHH
I've watched this video about 5 times, and the editing, the visual gags, the background music are all so effective
The iconic 7-1 of the 2014 FIFA Semifinals also deserves a mention, especially since it gave Brazil another national trauma after 1950
that wasn’t a choke tho that was just dropping dead
It's made it's way to all sports and even esports. Getting 7-1'd is forever known as getting Brazil'd
There are a ton of football moments that should be mentioned as well. Liverpool vs Barcelona 2019, Barcelona 6-1 PSG, I could go on. It’s a shame it was mostly just baseball and American football but It’s understandable because this person is from the us
The most heartbreaking choke is the own goal from Andres Escobar imo. Might have been to morbid to feature here, but his own goal in the World Cup group stages literally costed him his life. It deserves a spot in the inconceivable section just from what resulted from it.
Greatest moment of my life right there. They have never recovered as country
Watching this video made me realize how much of Jon Bois's content is based off chokes. Dave Stieb, the Falcons, the river city relay, the rockets missed shots ... it just goes to show that choking is probably the most fascinating aspect of sports. Great video as always, Emp
Right? I think what's even more special about his content is that you still want the people in the videos to find relief. You want every dork in Dorktown to find a happy ending, but if you weren't a true dork, you wouldn't be living in Dorktown.
Yeah, I found it a little eerie how many of these moments I’d seen before just because they’d been featured in a Bois video. Glad to know I’m not crazy
Jon Bois is Emp’s biggest influence in how he makes videos. He says as much in his Dale Earnhardt video
I felt like I was waiting for Jon to be mentioned! What a lovely crossover.
Don't forget that video about the Browns, who crawled their way out of hell in 2020, out of all years to do so.
46:55 shoutouts to the '22-'23 Bruins for continuing this tradition
24:02 This is the story of the penalty of Roberto Baggio's, the man who died standing. Year 1970 Ferido Baggio, father of Roberto, couldn't hide his sad face after the defeat in the World Cup final, a painful 4 to 1 to that Brazil of Pele, Jairzino and Jerson, caused the tears of a man who had to be consoled by His son, just 3 years old, Robby, as they called him, then hugged his father's leg and said, "Calm down dad, I'll beat Brazil. I'll win a world cup for you." And we don't know if it was God or just random, but In 1994 fate put Baggio in a world cup final and coincidentally it was against Brazil. the match ended up going to penalties after a timid 0-0. Brazil scored 3 of the first 4, Italy only 2, the fifth and last It was for him, Roberto Baggio, who had just won the Ballon d'Or that same season, and who had reached the final in an almost Maradona-like World Cup, the man who had promised his father to win a World Cup against Brazil, the eyes of the whole planet were on him, he was Italy's last hope. He took 2 steps back, he took a deep breath, but he ended up sending the ball to the clouds. silence invaded all the houses of Italy, on the field, Roberto Baggio looked at the ground with his arms on his hips, it was not a simple image of defeat, it was as if that prodigy had lost his soul, never before had such a bleak image been seen on a football field, infinite sadness could be seen in his eyes, the representation of a frustrated dream, the broken promise of a child who swore to one day give his father something that he could never give him. nothing and no one could comfort him for more than 5 years, he even had nightmares with that penalty for a long time, and it is that, after that game, in Italy a phrase began to become popular that says: "Socrates died poisoned, but Baggio died standing".

Repent and follow Jesus my friend! Repenting doesn't mean confessing your sins to others, but to stop doing them altogether. Belief in Messiah alone is not enough to get you into heaven - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36). Contemplate how the Roman empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years to accomplish the religion of the Israelites C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate though because you can start a relationship with God and have proof. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life. - Revelation 3:20
Revelation 6 1st Seal: White horse = Roman Empire conquering nations under Trajan 98-117 AD & Gospel spreading rapidly. 2nd Seal: Red horse, bloody civil wars with 32 different Emperors, most killed by the sword. 185-284 AD 3rd Seal: Black horse, economic despair from high taxes to pay for wars, farmers stopped growing. 200-250 AD 4th Seal: Pale horse, 1/4th of Romans died from famine, pestilence; at one point 5,000 dying per day. 250-300 AD 5th Seal: Diocletian persecuted Smyrna church era saints for ten years, blood crying out for vengeance. 303-312 AD 6th Seal: Political upheaval in the declining Roman Empire while the leaders battled each other. 313-395 AD
Revelation 7 Sealing of 144,000, the saints, before trumpet war judgments, which led to the fall of the Roman Empire.
Revelation 8 1st Trumpet: Alaric and the Goths attacked from the north, the path of hail, and set it on fire. 400-410 AD 2nd Trumpet: Genseric and the Vandals attacked the seas and coastlands, the blood of sailors in water. 425-470 AD 3rd Trumpet: Attila and the Huns scourged the Danube, Rhine & Po rivers area, dead bodies made water bitter. 451 AD 4th Trumpet: Odoacer and the Heruli caused the last Western Emperor (sun), Senate (moon) to lose power. 476 AD With the Western Roman Emperor (restrainer of 2 Thes. 2) removed; the son of perdition Popes took power.
Revelation 9 Two woe judgments against the central 1/3rd and eastern 1/3rd of the Roman Empire. 612-1453 AD 5th Trumpet: Locust & scorpions point to Arabia, the rise of the Muslim army. Islam hides Gospel from Arabs. 612-762 AD 6th Trumpet: Turks released to attack Constantinople with large cannons (fire, smoke, brimstone). 1062-1453 AD
Revelation 10 The little book is the printed Bible, which was needed after the Dark Ages when Scriptures were banned by Popes.
Revelation 11 7th Trumpet: Martin Luther measured Roman Church; found that it’s an apostate church, not part of true temple. The two witnesses are the Scriptures and saints who proclaim the pure Gospel and testify against the antichrist Popes. Papal Church pronounced Christendom dead in 1514 AD. Silence for 3.5 years. Then Luther posted his 95 Thesis, which sparked the Protestant Reformation and brought the witnesses back to life. Millions of Catholics were saved.

Repent and follow Jesus my friend! Repenting doesn't mean confessing your sins to others, but to stop doing them altogether. Belief in Messiah alone is not enough to get you into heaven - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36). Contemplate how the Roman empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years to accomplish the religion of the Israelites C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate though because you can start a relationship with God and have proof. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life. - Revelation 3:20
Revelation 6 1st Seal: White horse = Roman Empire conquering nations under Trajan 98-117 AD & Gospel spreading rapidly. 2nd Seal: Red horse, bloody civil wars with 32 different Emperors, most killed by the sword. 185-284 AD 3rd Seal: Black horse, economic despair from high taxes to pay for wars, farmers stopped growing. 200-250 AD 4th Seal: Pale horse, 1/4th of Romans died from famine, pestilence; at one point 5,000 dying per day. 250-300 AD 5th Seal: Diocletian persecuted Smyrna church era saints for ten years, blood crying out for vengeance. 303-312 AD 6th Seal: Political upheaval in the declining Roman Empire while the leaders battled each other. 313-395 AD
Revelation 7 Sealing of 144,000, the saints, before trumpet war judgments, which led to the fall of the Roman Empire.
Revelation 8 1st Trumpet: Alaric and the Goths attacked from the north, the path of hail, and set it on fire. 400-410 AD 2nd Trumpet: Genseric and the Vandals attacked the seas and coastlands, the blood of sailors in water. 425-470 AD 3rd Trumpet: Attila and the Huns scourged the Danube, Rhine & Po rivers area, dead bodies made water bitter. 451 AD 4th Trumpet: Odoacer and the Heruli caused the last Western Emperor (sun), Senate (moon) to lose power. 476 AD With the Western Roman Emperor (restrainer of 2 Thes. 2) removed; the son of perdition Popes took power.
Revelation 9 Two woe judgments against the central 1/3rd and eastern 1/3rd of the Roman Empire. 612-1453 AD 5th Trumpet: Locust & scorpions point to Arabia, the rise of the Muslim army. Islam hides Gospel from Arabs. 612-762 AD 6th Trumpet: Turks released to attack Constantinople with large cannons (fire, smoke, brimstone). 1062-1453 AD
Revelation 10 The little book is the printed Bible, which was needed after the Dark Ages when Scriptures were banned by Popes.
Revelation 11 7th Trumpet: Martin Luther measured Roman Church; found that it’s an apostate church, not part of true temple. The two witnesses are the Scriptures and saints who proclaim the pure Gospel and testify against the antichrist Popes. Papal Church pronounced Christendom dead in 1514 AD. Silence for 3.5 years. Then Luther posted his 95 Thesis, which sparked the Protestant Reformation and brought the witnesses back to life. Millions of Catholics were saved.

I watched this video the moment it came out but could never bring myself to finish it since it made me feel upset. 8 months later, at a low point in my life I picked this up again and I can say this video changed my life for the better.

@@Kaiserboo1871 we packers have similar reactions when you bring up the game we blew in Seattle.
As a packers fan, I am glad that he didn't bring up any of our meltdowns.... the NFC champ game in Seattle is the one that really sticks out, but there has been so much heart break in the era of Rodgers.
The worst part about this for me is that instead of being a pretty good team, the Packers are often arguably the best team in the League when they choke in the NFC Championship Game.
Man, I'm sorry.
Your Jags, uhh... yeaaaaah.
> 8-3 start (so close to #1 seed!)
> Lost 5 of 6 to miss playoffs

That sounds like the inverse of the Lions last year, just with them still also going 9-8 to miss the playoffs
a really obscure and entertaining choke i recommend people looking up and reading about is the Tribes 4chan vs Reddit 5-game series.
Reddit's team trained together for a few months, and 4chan's team wasn't even formed because they forgot about the series until the day-of. 4chan ended up winning the series 3-2, carried by a sniper who had a 140 ping
4chan has a habit of doing that sort of thing
The real choke was in game 3.
Reddit was already up 2-0 in the series, and was on track to win the final game 4-3 with 30 seconds left and control of 4chan's flag.
They made a critical mistake when in their attempt to deny the tying point, all bundled together defending DavidBowie who had 4chan's flag.
4chan player Seph dropped a huge orbital strike and wiped out then entirety of Reddit's team, allowing the equalizer cap at 20 seconds, sending the game into a "first team to score wins" overtime.
Reddit had no chance to regroup and by the time they knew what was happening, Skolfypaws was already en route for the game winning flag cap, dodging a last ditch orbital strike and winning game 3.
With that, the momentum had totally swung, and 4chan proceeded to reverse sweep, winning the series 3-2.
Had not heard about this until now. Truly a hilarious choke.
A *BR* with 140 ping, no less.
/v/ back in those days was insane. nowadays you never really see that sort of spontaneous organization for multiplayer since it all got split off into places like /vg/ and /vm/.

Harbaugh saw this video and was like "hell nah."
It's 2024, and Harbaugh and the Wolverines just became national champions of a perfect 15-0 season...
It is absolutely amazing how some of these chokes forever change how an entire franchise or program is talked about. I live in Michigan and no matter how Michigan and Michigan State football are doing any given year, even if Michigan destroys MSU when they play each other, if the MSU fan just says "Appalachian State" or "Jalen Watts-Jackson," the conversation just... ends. Everyone knows. The Wolverines will always carry the weight of two of the biggest chokes in the history of sports, and no amount of future success can ever change that.
Kinda like how you always hear the "Seahawks shoulda ran the ball"
WHOA HE HAS TROUBLE WITH THE SNAP
My old high school football coach is a huge Wolverines fan. I make sure to send him the game highlights of one of those two games.
I’m an MSU fan, I’m required by law to do that
Hell yeah, go green. Was so pleasantly surprised to see the trouble with the snap play at the top tier.
Wow it feels like the complete opposite to me - I went to Michigan and lived in Detroit for years, and I’ve grown to love the WOAH memes and the Appalachian State story, especially after last year. I’d trade a bunch more Jalen Watts Jacksons and stupid upsets for more moments like last year’s OSU game and Iowa game.
Future success more than absolves past failures; it actually makes them more endearing (or hilarious) because they’re part of a narrative that has changed in victory - look how Bill Buckner was received when he threw out the first pitch in 2008.
I grew up in the New York area, and as wild as the Red Sox upset in the 2004 ALCS was (the first time a team came back from 3-0), that’s not what Yankees fans think about when they look back on that era - they reminisce about the championships they won before and after that year, and the amazing players who were there during that era. The upset and the choke is part of a larger story, rather than the narrative itself.
However, if you never win, the choke is the narrative - look at the Mets since their last WS win, or the Atlanta Falcons since 28-3, or the Cubs general existence for 108 years.
But if you win eventually, that narrative changes. So that’s kind of how those moments from Michigan sports feel for me
Gotta say, the end part with the Red Sox's score incrementing throughout was one of the best video watching experiences I've had. Like bloody hell you keep outdoing yourself every video. You just have some formula that nonsensically makes your videos more entertaining than other commentaries, I don't know how you do it, but I'm glad you did.

@@pedrofranck6014 thank you for your input!
@@pedrofranck6014 I mean if you're not a sports person than I get it. Not only is terminology lost on those who aren't sports-savvy, but the weight of it is too. If you don't follow any particular teams or understand the history, they're just simple tales of someone('s team)'s ego getting the better of them.
But it's to be expected. If Emp explained the backgrounds and weight of every event covered in this video, we'd be here all day (not that I'd mind). With his Nascar videos for example, he has the whole video to set up the story so you feel the full impact of the final arc. Whereas he couldn't really do that here.
@@bugjams As someone who has never even watched one full game of sports. This video was not only incredibly entertaining, but also easy to follow for someone with almost no sports knowledge.
I think in some ways sports represent the human spirit on a micro level. The struggle, the victories and loses, constantly trying for that one win that could change anything. A person could go their whole life not watching one game of baseball and feel an immense feeling of kinship and the Red Sox snatch a victory that in all ways seemed impossible. I mean, isn't every single person working hard to make it in this world playing those exact same odds?
@@crassweller11 YES. Sports, and competition, are a microcosm of the entirety of the human condition. I think this gets lost on people who see sport as ‘just a game’ - they’re not wrong per se as this might be their experience, but they certainly are missing out on what’s so appealing to so many of us in the first place.

You perfectly organized this video and its idea. The way you laid it out, in the pyramid style fashion, categorizing from less painful to even more painful. It’s excellent. When you think the worst has arrived, it gets even more heartbreaking. And the editing on the 3-0 comeback was great, seeing how the Red Sox came back, and having to pay attention to the little details with newspaper articles and fan signs. Good work as always.

It's a great video, very Bill Simmonsy, which coincidentally, Simmons had an old article on the "13 Levels of Losing" back when ESPN was still decent and which I think was probably referenced for this video.
I feel bad for Bill Buckner, dude had a hall of fame case, but his career was overshadowed by that missed grounder. May he rest in peace
Who i don’t feel bad for is gibson he deserved to be fired and forgotten he caused his own team to lose and made fans very mad
Just watching the way he grabs his head man 😪
People always forget that with many of those chokes, there were numerous plays and opportunities for the team to win before and after the fact. Especially considering in Buckners case there was still Game 7 to be played.
@@mattbernacki9282 Or Calvin Schiraldi having a complete meltdown and replaced by Bob Stanley, who's wild pitch tied the game, but somehow Buckner's error is what everyone talks about? And yes, there is also the fact that there was still a game 7, which the Red Sox of course blew a lead there too!
As a Mets fan. That wasn’t even the turning point. The wild pitch behind Wilson tied the game. I’m not gonna lie I too was under the assumption that grounder drove in two. Plus when Buckner went to ground it Mookie was a few steps to first. Unlikely would’ve beat him to the bag. Massive respect though to Bill. He signed a frame of that play along with Wilson and it’s on my wall. RIP
Botafogo FR is beyond a Level 7 choke. It may even be beyond a theoretical Level 8 choke.
Hey, Jim Harbaugh finally won a Football title.
I feel like you missed the point in the end with the duality of a choke. One mans trash is a another mans treasure. Everytime a team suffers a stunning choke, another sees their team triumf in the most unimaginable way. Its really great.
It depends. You’d never call the daigo parry a choke. That was everyone making the right decisions. But the Indians losing to the cubs was pathetic. That was triumph off the back of failure.
watching sports is for losers. "My team triumphed." So fcking pathetic. Bread and circuses to keep the loser class from revolting. A truly advanced practice employed by the ruling class
you make a very good point

I was at the Indy 500 in 2011 when Hildebrand hit the wall on the last lap. We were getting ready to make the 2 mile walk back to the car when on the Screen in-front of us I watched his car slide up turn 4 into the wall. Everyone around me was silent for a few seconds while they tried to process what happened. I was happy for Dan To win because he was my favorite driver at the time but I couldn’t help but to feel bad for Hildebrand to miss out on such a historic win.
RIP Dan.
Yea man that shit is rough. RIP Dan Weldon. He seemed like a really good dude
I think that JR Hildebrands race team folded after their devastated loss in the Indy 500 that year in 2011... and we lost Dan 5 months later at Las Vegas Motor Speedway for the Indycar Championship... that was a gut wrenching sad October day....

17:50 As a Brazilian, the 1950s episode of "Maracanazo" was shock for anyone who believed in an easy win, but not for those who stood down to earth.
It's said that Paulo Carvalho (the coach who brought us the '58 and '62 World Cup titles later on) tried to warn the leaders of the national team that so many cheers before the game would make them over-confident, thus giving the Uruguaians the breech they needed to win; obviously nobody cared, so he just told his child son to wait for the news of a "BIG defeat".
Aside from our lack of awareness about chanting victory before the time, the coach and captain of Uruguay later said that despite everyone's disbelief that they could win, they studied hard to "find a crack" in our strategy. Our team kept using the same tatics game after game, but they found that the Swiss used a different one that made our team struggle like heck in the very 1st game of the competition, so they pushed for that in the field; the rest is history.
Anyway, great video; keep up the good job.

This is the longest car crash I couldn't stop myself from watching, and I enjoyed every minute of it. There's something about this topic that speaks to me on an existential level. Like these are the limits of humans that math and perfect strategy can never, ever account for, and it is a humbling reminder that you can never be too certain with anything you're doing, no matter how optimal the strategy is on paper.
I can see a whole version of this for esports too.

I know the kind of deep frustration a creator feels when the content they love is sidelined in favor of content they work hard on, even if it's not what they necessarily want to make. You put out banger content though and I honestly couldn't be prouder to have someone who's still got a deep passion on such a broad range of what too many label as inane, boring and even uninteresting trivia. You turned my utter disregard for Nascar into a reminder of why my mom took me to see races when I was still too young to know how to walk without falling over. You took my shrugging indifference at the world's highest jump and made me see the significance of Baumgartner's rise and plummet. You broke the walls down of _why_ me and my brother played WWE games on our Xbox and the good times we had visiting our grandparents.

The curse has apparently been moved to the basketball team
There's something about tennis where you have no teammates to help you, no one to blame but yourself, your shot requires so much finnesse that a few milliseconds of mistiming could end your career, the scoring makes it so it's possible that you actually win more points than your opponent but if you miss the important ball it's all over, hell up until very recently you couldn't even talk to your coach on court so you're stuck in your own mind and cant say anything cause no one can help you. Roger federers loss at Wimbledon final 2019 in a incredible match against his rival whilst having 2 match points to win it all, knowing it was his last chance before he'd retire, giving us all 1 final chance of seeing federer win at Wimbledon while many had stopped reffering to him as the greatest player of all time and he had his chance right there but failed.. Its the most heartbreaking thing ive ever seen
