General NFL 2010 Regular Season Thread

It's a regular event to cheer during the anthem during Blackhawks' games. Totally agree. One of the coolest things I've seen.

Who are the Blackhawks?

LOL. They won some sort of a big silver cup last year. Then they traded most of their best players. Now they sorta suck.

At any rate, I can't really answer your question - I think the crowd for that game seemed much louder than usual during the anthem, but I figured it was more the way it was mic'd up, plus the difference of being in a big outdoor stadium vs an indoor arena. I don't know if those fighter planes flying overhead and the canons firing are a normal occurrence or if that was something special. But I guess this performance has created quite a buzz, and he'll supposedly be back to perform for the NFC title match against Green Bay on Sunday. Though there's some controversy, because apparently Fox originally wanted last year's American Idol winner to sing the anthem.

I hadn't realized at all what kind of buzz that performance has generated. Wow.

Just pulled the odds sheet from when I made my ill-fated "Cowboys will win the Super Bowl" bet. Green Bay was 10:1 and Pittsburgh was 20:1.

Damn.
 
At least the Jets made a game of it. They're like the freaking Jazz with those slow starts.
