Love his handling of the anthem

but my favorite is the Stanford Band’s version.

I always turn to the sports section first. The sports page records people's accomplishments; the front page has nothing but man's failures.

Frankly, the best part of him doing this isn't his performance.

It’s the insane reaction of Chicago fans to his performance. Only at Blackhawks games and during Cornelison renditions is it acceptable to cheer like idiots throughout the National Anthem. And I love it to death. Something just so blatantly Chicago about the whole thing.

Personally I don't think it's wrong to cheer your own national anthem so Chicagoans are just showing their patriotism!

I didnt realize it went out live nationwide

That rocks. Love Cornelison’s version, beat the heck out of the overly pretty way most do it.

I'm likely in the minority here, but I've never seen Cornelison sing the anthem before.

I missed kickoff Sunday so this was the first time I’d seen it and WOW, does he do it right. I hate the musicians that make it all about them. Chicagoans cheer like that everytime he sings it? That is awesome!
