Pain in Overtime: Playoff Heartbreaks That Still Burn

This post is dedicated to the fans still rocking that one hoodie from that one game like it doesn’t reek of disappointment.

💔 Outlaws – The Fumble at Fourth and Forever

Dean Smith. One yard out. Fumbled like the playoffs were allergic to success.

Pete’s Take: “It sounded like 60,000 souls sobbing at once. Beautiful.”

💔 Falcons – The Frozen Finale

Double overtime heartbreak with a post-hit so loud it echoed through history.

Pete’s Take: “That post haunts dreams. So does the silence that followed.”

💔 Scorpions – The Pop Fly from Hell

Routine catch lost in the lights. Walk-off sorrow.

Pete’s Take: “Who needs horror movies when you’ve got playoff baseball?”

💔 Armadillos – The Mud Bowl Meltdown

Rain. Fumble. Faceplant. History.

Pete’s Take: “Even the mud was crying.”

Pete’s Final Whistle:

Trauma builds character. And content.

Send your heartbreaks to Ask Penalty Pete. Therapy not included.
