I felt that she should have been handcuffed and arrested at the conclusion of her atrocity.
I saw that. It was painful.
I wouldn’t have blame any player that sat down somewhere in the middle of that.
I loathe it when a singer makes the National Anthem about THEM.
Should be hard on the knees of losers like kaepernick
Buncha raciss. If Pavvaroti done that you be thowin flowers. If Mick Jagar done that the b!tches be thowin underware.
So glad I will never see or hear that. Ugh. I’m sick that I even READ about it.
CBS...it can't be "never-ending" if it ended after 4 minutes & 35 seconds.
CBS...making crap up that honest news outlets won't tell.
Delay of game, 5 yard penalty, still first down.
But hey, at least it wasn’t as bad as this one...

Meanwhile dinner with family continued:
Just because all the VERSES wer sung.
O say can you see, by the dawns early light,
What so proudly we haild at the twilights last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight
Oer the ramparts we watchd were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there,
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
Oer the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep
Where the foes haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, oer the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the mornings first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream,
Tis the star-spangled bannerO long may it wave
Oer the land of the free and the home of the brave!
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore,
That the havoc of war and the battles confusion
A home and a Country should leave us no more?
Their blood has washd out their foul footsteps pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave,
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
Oer the land of the free and the home of the brave.
O thus be it ever when freemen shall stand
Between their lovd home and the wars desolation!
Blest with victry and peace may the heavn rescued land
Praise the power that hath made and preservd us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto In God is our trust,
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
Oer the land of the free and the home of the brave.
Narcissism is not patriotism
They should just play a video of Whitney Houston’s best-ever National Anthem from the 1991 Super Bowl. That’s the gold standard and eliminated all need to create the circumstances for this abomination from yesterday. We muted the audio, took a nap, had Thanksgiving dinner and came back - bi$?h was still going.....
Aretha killed it, literally
I love Aretha.
I loved that she accompanied herself.
She was, and is one of a kind.
She is not long for this world.
I decided to enjoy her while we’ve still got her.
Her artistic license with the anthem I excused because of all the above.

I was carving the Turkey (to take to a pot luck) when it came on and after hearing the first refrain decided it wasn’t worth paying attention to. Did the grand old lady “Roseanne Barr” it?
The 1 hour football game is over 3 hours so Aretha Franklin was just going along with flow.
