Does anyone know what the word "Choke" (in sports) really means anymore?

A Choke (In Sports) is where a team in the winning position at the end of the game screws up big time to lose the game.

Colts were in the losing position in the superbowl, therefore its not a choke.

Bills vs Houston Oilers was a choke. Oilers were ahead by so much, and little by little the bills kept scoring and at the end the Bills took the lead to beat them.
 
It also means getting hyped up with all the pressure and a attention and you play poorly.
