Atlanta has one world series and no other championships. That city most definitely chokes.
Atlanta has no football hall of famers. The year Atlanta went to the superbowl was mark by
disaster. Coach had a heart attack, player get caught soliciting a police plant and Elway scored
two touchdowns by himself.

I would say Seatlle... They have a history of not really having a history in all major sports.

Not having titles isn't the same thing as choking.

Not having titles have nothing to do with choke? What do you call it when you make it do the big game and lose it without any memorable moments. Being a cheese head, I would not expect you to know the difference. Outside of the packers, Greenbay has nothing else. Even the best cheesecake factory is in Chicago.
