Maybe I’m just old-fashioned, but you’d think that the woman assigned to sing the National Anthem before the BCS Mythical National Championship Game would at least be able to get the lyrics right …

    You got that right. Didn’t like her rendition much either.

    “mythical national championship” – there’s a Domer under there after all.

    Nice.

    As Domer as they come, Randy. He sits in there and screams to be let out, and occasionally I let him have a moment at the keyboard.

    I remember a few years ago at the MLB All-Star game (I think it was the one where they ran out of pitchers), the “international recording artist” sang about the “rockets [that] gave glare.” That pretty well set the tone for the night, but got lost in the tirade over running out of pitchers.

    Kind of makes you wonder if someone could put together a set of lyrics incorporating ALL of the most common mistakes …

    Hey, sometimes the night needs some proof.
