No joke: I'm singing the national anthem at Monday's Cleveland/Chicago game!

They asked me yesterday and I said yes and now it's happening. I'm so fucking excited. I just found out. We've inquired about singing at a Blazers playoff game but they've never gotten back to us. But I'm so excited about singing on the same court as Shaq and LeBron. How fucking cool is that?

 

Oh lord. You aren't even a "Z" lister. What, the guy who plays the Indian Scientist on "The Big Bang Theory" wasn't available?

 

I'm serious.

I'll believe it when I see it.

 

I dare you to wear a piece of Blazer paraphernalia.

If you want a great breakfast in Cleveland, go to Big Al's. If you want a good dinner, head to Lola's or go to Little Italy.

 

Can you hook me up with some tix? Good luck, man.

 

Congrats, KingSpeed! Have a blast!

 

How does that work? Does your agent try and get you gigs like this all over the NBA? Or do they just know you sing and asked you?

 

That was dumb. I asked Ed O to delete it but I really am singing on Monday.

Thanks PapaG. Duly noted, maxiep.

 

So you are saying you are going to be present for one of the biggest upsets in sports history?

 

Thanks. I got 4 but I have to hook up my partner, her sister, and her husband.

dpc- my agent asked back in October cuz my partner has relatives in Ohio and they told us they wanted me to sing at the playoffs. I doubted it was actually gonna happen and then they emailed us yesterday asking us which game I wanted to sing at. Crazy. They're flying us out and putting us up.

 

It would be one of the biggest upsets in sports history, no doubt and I don't think LeBron would shake hands with Joakhim Noah afterwards.

 

Congratz, KingSpeed. Hope you have fun!

And I echo maxiep's suggestion...wear some Blazers paraphernalia when you do it!

 

Just remember, if you get in a jam, Mo Cheeks won't be there to bail you out!

Have fun!

 

Congrats man. At the end of the national anthem, say "Go Bulls!" To piss everyone off.

 

Nice! You go, Boyeeee!

You have to wear a small pinwheel somewhere. Make it really subtle. Have it hidden sort of like Playboy hides the bunny on every cover, lol.

 

Yes! Maybe some of those awsum payper + markir ristbanz?

 

It's not like ABC will show him singing.

 

Totally off topic but... I thought your partner was a guy? Or by partner do you mean like a business partner or something?

 

It's on TNT so most likely not but I bet they do show the singer on the Saturday because it's the first game of the playoffs.
