Christ this anthem might never end.

Good God.

It's Aretha. She can go as long as she wants.

Should be a good game between the Lions and Vikings.

Bad anthem, she was once great but cmon...she lost it many years ago.

That reminded me of the scene from an early episode of The Simpsons when Bleeding Gums Murphy sang the National Anthem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awsYiGSu3YA

It looked like Aretha was missing a tooth. I would think she'd have the dough to fix that.

PUT THIS GUY ON THE LIST

To the people who hated Aretha's anthem, is it because of racism or hatred of America?

Now the Lions have another player with sr. on his nameplate so he isn't confused with his infant child. What the hell is with this trend the last few years? I swear it doesn't say George Foreman Sr. on my kitchen grill.

Refs really trying to keep the Vikings in this game, phantom calls, bullshit forward pass on a fumble and now another horseshit call on a pick. Goodell must be getting nervous with the poor ratings.

Asiata's spike bounced up and backwards bouncing off the top of the crossbar. Most impressive thing I've seen him do all year.

Totally!! IIRC it was started by a Lion 4 or 5 years ago. It was that total whack-job who went nuts while a Lion and then fell off the face of the earth. Titus Young.............Sr.

Now make them use their challenges on easily blown calls.

Anyone drinking yet? We are waiting on our guests, but I kinda want to crack a beer.
