    Agreed, she really got exposed for a lack of talent, big time. The Star Spangled Banner is a tough song to sing, and if you don't have the chops to sing it, leave it alone. And then she repeated the words? Lame.


    Not to brag, but we here in Buffalo have, in my opinion, the best anthem singer currently singing anywhere in the country, and as far as I know, the only one I've ever heard who still sings to live organ accompaniment. His name is Doug Allen and he sings the anthems for the Sabres games. No frills, no American Idol nonsense, just classic.

    Need Playoffs in College Football!

    I am afraid that we are going to crown a champion who didn't play any kind of tough schedule. That is what will win this year. Sure wish my team played a soft schedule this year like Ohio State. They played two Division Two teams and they will be the champion. Maybe they should be in Division Two.

    By the way, Ohio State is #1 in this weeks polls. They got it beating a Division Two Kent State. Do you remember in 2004 that Auburn was denied a chance to play for the national championship because they played a Division Two team in their schedule and everyone on the sports cast kept saying that a division one school should never be able to play in a national championship game under any circumstances. Wow, have things changed since Auburn got burned in that season!



    Sorry Hondo, but Kent State is a division one team, they play in the Mid American Conference.

    Did anyone stay with the Cowboys - Bills game Monday night? That was some amazing comeback for the 'Boys, winning 25 to 24 in the last 2 seconds of the game. :hyper: What is almost as amazing is that they surmounted six turnovers and Romo got them back to a point where they could accomplish it.
    Cheers - Jay:beer:



    Yeah, I tortured myself Monday Night. Even when the Bills were winning big, you just knew deep down that this team would find a way to lose, as they always do. You know, the announcers were saying during that game that the Cowboys were the Yankees of the NFL, and I just sat there thinking to myself, "if the Cowboys are the Yankees of the NFL, then the Bills are the Cubs of the NFL!!!" Probably the worst thing about it is that that idiotic, bumbling fool, Wade Phillips got the win in his "triumphant" return to Upstate New York. :thumbs_down: :thumbs_down:

    You'd think four Super Bowls and two Stanley Cups would inoculate you against anything, but this team still rips your gut out, every time.

    At least they can't lose next week. Of course next week is a also a bye week. . . . . .

    Hi Joey,

    I guess UCLA was, but did he have a favourite pro team?



    UCLA??????

    Considering that Duke was a former USC player, I would consider that highly unlikely. And, as far as Duke and pro sports go, the only thing I can remember is that I have seen several pictures of him wearing a L.A. Dodges baseball cap.
