Kat DeLuna Gets Booed By Cowboys Fans After Butchering The Anthem
Monday, September 15, 2008
Pop/R&B artist Kat DeLuna was your singer for the National Anthem before the Eagles-Cowboys game and her is her performance in all its booing goodness....
I'd love to say I feel bad for her but with all of the extra scales and noises she really just brought it on herself. You have to be seriously bad to get booed after the National Anthem.

Nike Uses Marvin Gaye Clip For New Team USA Commercial
Thursday, August 07, 2008
Marvin Gaye performed one of the best live renditions of the National Anthem back at the 1983 NBA All Star Game in Los Angeles and Nike has decided to use it for a new Team USA commercial. Via Fanhouse....
Goosebumps. There's a 30-second version and a 60-second version that you will begin seeing on 08-08-08 as well as a two and a half minute version of the commercial will air on August 5th. That extended version will follow the final episode of “Road To Redemption presented by NIKE” on ESPN2.
Marvin Gaye + USA Basketball = Chills (Fanhouse)

A Network Actually Airs The National Anthem At A Sporting Event
Tuesday, March 25, 2008
Sure it was the N.I.T. and I don't know if it was the producer's call or Sean McDounough reacting on the fly, but ESPN actually aired the National Anthem before the UMass-Syracuse game....
I know a lot of you feel the same way that I do about the anthem, but I definitely think it needs to be aired before all games. Kudos to Dan Shulman and/or ESPN for letting the Syracuse Band play it on-air (no matter how bad it sounded).
Oh and UMass completed a ridiculous comeback from down 21 in the second half and earned a trip to NYC. Great game.
