For now, yes. In 3 years things are going to be different

That's what they said a decade ago.

These intros and pre-game festivities are always extremely cringe worthy.

I love the Roots and Black Thought, but this is drawn way the hell out.

They should've got Lil Wayne or is he still claiming Miami?

My god this intro is awful

Who is this supposed to appeal to? Does anybody actually think it's entertaining or cool?

What is the point of singing the national anthem of Canada if the game is played in the U.S.?

Is this the super bowl

Whoever that guy was butchered the national anthem.

Almost 25 minutes in and the game still hasn't started.

Lowry and DeRozan

But they're American though still, and I'm sure viewership from China/India far exceeds that from Canada.

Patches Perry · Post #977 » by **Patches Perry** » Mon Feb 20, 2017 1:24 am

Definitely don't expand to Mexico. 3 anthems would be 3 too many.

I thought it was really good. Probably more interesting and original than the game that is going to follow.
