Chris Botti's rendition of the national anthem was gorgeous enough to move Reggie Wayne to tears.
The national anthem is played at every sporting event we watch, and too often, we see those called upon to sing it try to steal the spotlight. Instead of letting the focus be on a beautiful song about a great country, they try to make it about them. You know what I mean -- the "o'er the land of the freeeEEEEEEEEEEEEE (glass breaks) and the hooome of the brayayayayayaaaaaaayyyyyayayave" type of stuff.
Chris Botti's trumpet rendition at Giants-Colts didn't do that. It was understated, yet powerful, a beautiful rendition that moved Colts WR Reggie Wayne to tears.

Reggie Wayne: "An old wise guy told me you shouldn't hold back your tears. If you've got tears coming, let them out." (CONT'D)

Reggie Wayne (cont'd): "He also told me, 'Let your farts go free and be like me,' and he passed, so..."
