It's so weird the way Americans treat the national anthem like a pop song

Never ceases to amaze me the ways they can butcher a national anthem.

not going to stay up and watch it, so let me just say I hope Mahomes crushes him

Been reading some Bucs forums and I will say they at least aren’t completely delusional about what is about to occur to them in their own back yard like Bills fans were for some reason.

They understand only too well that they are about to be taken out behind the woodshed.

Looking at the Bills forum today it’s clear they are completely crushed.

As I’ve said to all these teams like the Browns, Bills, Saints, 49ers, who think they have a shot at beating the Chiefs - don’t invest too much emotionally into this - there is no escape, no means by which you can prove victorious. It’s better to accept your fate than resist it.

Why even bother playing for the next 10 years then...

I didn't watch it. I'd say it's mostly artists who do this. I think most Americans just want a straight up normal anthem. When they do all the other stuff, it's usually awful.

Hendrix and Marvin Gaye did a decent job putting a twist on it imo. Seen Santana do it a couple times he's usually solid. Country artists and pop artists usually destroy it. It is odd.

Stadium looks very busy wow

Someone on Sky has just been speaking analysis for a full 30-40 seconds and not for one moment of all that time did I have any idea what he was talking about.

May as well have been speaking Japanese.

Sorry yeah, I meant the artists as opposed to the general public. My favourite version ever was Whitney Houston at the Super Bowl because she just sang it (as much as Whitney could ever 'just' sing something)

Ha state of who they've got for the half-time show. Hardly Prince or Springsteen is it?

Good kick that to settle the nerves

In 2021 The Weeknd is at that level believe it or not

Just tuning in - I can't believe that I've missed 3 goals already.

Pretty sure his song Blinding Lights was the biggest song in the US last year (in chart terms)

The weeknd is brilliant.

Cagey game so far but can tell Mahomes and Brady are slowly finding their feet
