Big League Stew - MLB

Since I used a post on Friday to do my best Simon Cowell impersonation on Amanda Overmyer and her rendition of the National Anthem at the Cubs-D'Backs game, it's only fair that I also post Tony Romo's "singing" of Take Me Out To The Ballgame.

Perhaps needless to say, it is much, much worse than Ms. Overmyer's needless "interpretation." While I like Romo as much as a Bears fan can (I spent some time in his hometown in Wisconsin last season and he's as humble a star you could meet), this is about as bad as it gets. I never thought I'd say this, but where's Ms. Simpson when you need her?

A big BLS head nod to Andy Smith of Bugs & Cranks for the quick Lasso.

    I thought Tony did a good job. The fans had fun singing along and so did Tony.

    It was bad, but at least he only sang half the song and let the crowd sing the rest. He's a football player, not a singer!!!!

    Big deal he can't sing. He can still throw a football. Yahoo is so dumb with what they think is news. No wonder Yahoo is getting killed by Google.

    His reputation as a singer maybe but not as a Dallas Cowboy.It was all in good fun and the Bears could use his talent. What were they 1-30 this year?
