Jim Cornelison - Jim Cornelison sings the anthem before Chicago’s NASCAR race. If you have read this page for more than a month, you know I’m not the hugest hockey fan. I appreciate athletic greatness in all its forms, from a Tiger Woods 2 iron skulled around a hazard to Manny Pacquiao taking hit after hit just to win on the cards once again. From Peyton Manning throwing 50 touchdowns and Alex Rodriguez on the verge of 600 homers…but damn if Jim Cornelison doesn’t crush the hell outta all of them.

I am pretty positive that we here in Chicago have the two best anthem singers in all of sports in Cornelison for the Blackhawks and the Cubs’ Wayne Messmer. Of course, I have literally zero idea what any other American sports franchise does for the Star Spangled Banner, but it cannot be better than this.

I added Blackhawks defenseman Duncan Keith doing the “Gentleman, start your engines,” part on the end. I hope I didn’t just ruin the surprise.

I wonder if Patrick Kane is still drunk?
