: Excellent choice of a word!!

: You guys have always had a gift with the language; I suppose that's
: why we continue to call it "English", rather than
: "American".

: Limited to only one word, we would probably have called this play a
: "choke" . . . far less descriptive than the word
: "howler". Let's hope that your team has gotten the
: "howler" out of its system, and will play better
: football for the remainder of the tournament.
