I wanted to puke. I knew it would be painful to listen to when I saw who was coming out to sing, but I could not have imagined it would be THAT bad. It was down there with Rosanne Barr's attempt, no joking.


HOWEVER...great job by the NFL with the Declaration of Independence presentation (which happened to be on President Reagan's 100th birthday). Great to see Coach Gibbs and Donovan on there along with Colin Powell. We could tell that Jerry had no hand in that production, it went well.
The singing of the NA preluding most sporting events has become a spectacle of one-up man ship to determine who can offer the better rendition.

Since Whitney Houston & Marvin Gaye offered their versions, the chase has been on.

Roseanne now thinks her offering was stellar.
