The McBournie Minute: A bunch of bombs in the air

Let’s be fair, the national anthem is pretty tough. On top of that, it’s basically one really long question. One can blame Christina Aguilera (or C-Ag) for messing up the words right before the Super Bowl last night, but let’s face it, at least she wasn’t the Black Eyed Peas.

The fans will also get a refund equal to triple the face value of the $800 tickets.

Yes, that’ll do.
