    Meaning "for the loss".

    Not "faster than light". Although that would work, too.

    This is an amazing honor. So Far only 6,728 other people have sung the National Anthem at an NBA game this year.

    Congratulations!

    :cool:

    Eric, ask the person in charge of the operations there and see if you can get your performance on DVD at the end of the night. The people in charge of the big screen show record everygame. He would be their version of Todd Bosma.

    It went great, thanks. I was scared but I got through it and it's always rewarding cuz the crowd cheers everytime someone sings the anthem.

    How was that LeBron dunk over Johnson in person, KingSpeed? It sounded like that place went bananas on TV. His head was at the level of the freaking rim.

    It was on the other side of the court from me so it was cooler when I watched it later on TV. It was cool and the crowd was loud yes, but they were pretty much loud all game long and spending most of it yelling "Noah Sucks!"
