We’ve gotten used to someone singing the National Anthem before sporting events. Especially playoff games in the NFL. Today, before the AFC Championship game between Pittsburgh and Denver (winner goes to the Super Bowl), there was a trumpeter, Chris Botti, PLAYING the National Anthem. I can’t remember the last time I heard someone PLAY it on a nationally televised game. Granted, I often miss that part on NFL games, but then again, I’m not sure if they always show that part.
