Most of you take the definitions of people calling Barnes a "choker" very wrong. Someone who gets 2nd a lot, or just plain loses a lot on tv is not considered a choker. A choker is more of someone who cannot step up in a very important shot or frame. Someone who just folds under pressure, and cannot clutch it up. To me, this is Barnes. How many times has he done this? Thrown a great game, to where it comes down to one shot, and he just tugs it? The match with Angelo a few weeks ago, where they both were very lost. I remember Barnes having a chance to win it, and he totally pulled the ball by a mile and went high to leave a split and lose. He did it a few weeks ago (can't remember what tournament or who he was against), but he bowled a very good game, and needed something in the tenth for the win, and went light. He never was even close to going light the entire game! IMHO that is a choker. So because Malott, and WRW have many 2nds does not make them chokers. Maybe some of those 2nds they have choked it off, but not most of them.
