Maybe it's just that only morons find those comments funny, regardless of the 'PC crowd'. It might just not be funny.

Seriously. "Take that old b$@$ out and shoot her". So. Funny.

The comment was stupid and so was the expected over reaction to it

Kirby,

 

He has been healthy and cant get on the field.....does that not bother you a bit?

This early? Not a ton. Not ideal but teams handle guys differently and I recall articles about them being slow to work guys in (won't claim to be an expert on their team though)

Pathetic. I hate when singers make it about themselves. Just sing the anthem properly, not that difficult

It should be about you instead and how you want it sung.

 

what's the proper way?

How about we stop playing the anthem before sporting events. That way all you patriotic americans can stop bitching that it takes too long.

How can the refs not see that tip?? Everyone saw that tip. Its obvious calls like that which make u wonder what these refs are looking at

[chris heff]

Actually "The Star Spangled Banner" is a difficult song to sing. The lyrics were originally written as a poem, the music was from a popular British song, so not composed for the lyrics. I liked how she sang it, gospeled it up.

We're spoiled in Buffalo. Doug Allen cranks out O Canada and the Star Spangled Banner in less than 3 minutes. Singers that take more than 2 minutes for the Star Spangled Banner should be shot.

I know Trump is president now and that makes some people feel they are free to vent their hatred, but I sincerely suggest that you keep your feelings private.

Agree. An internet message board is no place to offer opinions.

@gbradyradio

Aretha's anthem clocked at 4:36. "Respect" is 2:27. "Freeway Of Love" is 5:52, & I think it has a sax solo that takes up half the song.

 

Was everybody thinking this?

His opinion was a (I hope) joke that she should be shot.

 

As a joke it was poorly constructed and not particularly funny.

 

As an opinion it was embarrassing and he'd be well served to not air it.

That said what an odd halftime show from a production standpoint

Actually, the political idiocy is supposed to be kept confined to PPP and is not allowed on the main board; this thread is a fine example of why that rule exists.

I knew this kind of hateful, crazy reaction was coming.

 

Hateful? I'm sure that if it was Madonna and she got the same response you would not say that. Predictable.

Seriously? When a vast majority of Americans say it was overdone and way too long, that's consensus.

You have no idea what I would say. Artists perform the anthem with their own style with some performances better than others. BFD.

If it's any comfort to the whiners, Colin Kaepernick won't sing it at all...

[metzelaars_lives]

Wow.

[racecitybills]

You all need to really chill. I cannot carry a tune in a bucket and have zero musical talent. Aretha Franklin is a national treasure and that was an amazing rendition. Get a life

I'm picking up some sarcasm here. But I would ask you- do you think a football internet message board is an appropriate place to joke about the president elect deporting someone based on their race? I am shocked this thread is still going. Geez, when I saw that video from the alt right gathering in DC the other day, I thought to myself, who are these people? Look around folks, they're everywhere. Happy Thanksgiving.

Exactly.

I assume this is now the Lions-Vikes game thread?

 

Way to go Bradford, you dud.

[Maury Ballstein]

Lolz.

 

Kudos to polish and ptr for overreactions.
