The Fray’s dreadful national anthem performance at the NCAA championship (video) | The Dagger: Yahoo! Sports - Chris Chase - The Denver rock band tried to rework the 198-year-old song into a modern hipster version and failed in every respect. Finger-picking mood guitar, emo vocals and a guy doing his best impersonation of a Civil War dummer boy make not for a fine anthem. If you weren't listening to the lyrics, you'd have never known the band was singing our national anthem.
CBS Sports Jim Nantz from the Madness to the Masters in the Same Week | Bleacher Report - James Williams - As for Nantz this will be his 27th year as part of the Masters broadcast team. But it will be his 25th year as the host making this his Silver Anniversary broadcast. So talking to Nantz the other day via phone he was more than happy to talk about his favorite week of the year. JW: What is this week like for you? Nantz: "This is the best week of my year. Really to have the honor to broadcast the Final Four on Saturday then to do the Final on Monday night is amazing. After the broadcast we head to hotel get a good night’s sleep and off we go to Augusta where we get ready for all the history that is the Masters. I am truly a very lucky man.”
Jim Nantz made his first connections with college basketball and pro football in New Orleans | NOLA.com - Dave Walker - Within hours of “One Shining Moment’s” concluding notes tonight, he’ll be in Augusta, Ga., to begin work on CBS’ coverage of the 2012 Masters Golf Tournament. His first assignment will be to tape an interview with Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer and Gary Player for replay during the network’s late-night coverage to air at 10:35 p.m. Thursday and Friday (April 5 and 6). “You talk about a mental switch,” Nantz said. “You can go from being right there at midcourt in the Superdome, electric, crowning the national champion, tears flowing and ‘One Shining Moment’ playing, and then the next morning I’ll be sitting in Butler Cabin with three of the greats in the history of golf talking about Augusta. “That’s my life. I feel very fortunate to have all those things going on.”
VIDEO: The Fray Butchers National Anthem At National Championship Game - Yardbarker - Monday night is always the best night in college basketball. The Kentucky Wildcats and Kansas Jayhawks were set to do battle for the national championship. Before that, The Fray stepped in to sing the national anthem. To say it was not well received is putting it lightly.
