National Anthem of ATL - PHI

Who was that singing the National Anthem? Before I **** on his performance, I got to find out who he was and why he was even signing it.

This year, eleven year-old Timmy Kelly will receive the Individual Award, and is the youngest recipient in the 45 year history of the award.

Timmy was born at 26 weeks, weighing 1 lb 15 ounces. When he was 3 months old, Timmy began having problems with his eyes. Despite numerous eye surgeries and the valiant efforts of doctors, Timmy is blind. Blindness has only proven to be "a bump in the road" for this talented young man, who has been gifted with a beautiful voice. He has an impressive resume, which includes performances for President George W. Bush and Governor Ed Rendell, and for fans at the Philadelphia Eagles, Camden Riversharks, Philadelphia 76ers, Phillies, and Philadelphia Soul games.

Pretty impressive kid.

I think he was an emergency replacement because the original singer couldn't make it because of the weather.

More importantly, why did Andy Reid call that timeout with :01 left in the first. I don't like that decision, and it's not just hindsight bias either.

I said at the time I didn't like it, but it's clear why he did it. They outlined it pretty well in the commentary too.

Well I understood why he called it was because he didn't want Atlanta to be able to kick a FG with the wind, but yeah, I still disagreed with it.

I was actually thinking before the play that if they stopped them for a loss, they should call timeout. When they were only a yard short, I figured they'd let it run down. I was surprised when they called it.

If he could have thrown an accurate out pattern maybe the Falcons could have put him in for Vick in the second half.

It was actually a heads up call, IMO. Rarely will a team need all three timeouts in the first half, and half the time most timeouts are used on botched playcalls. Andy Reid did a great job of assessing the situation and taking away a teams opportunity for 3 points is huge in the early goings of a game.
