When Atlanta hosts Super Bowl LIII on Feb. 3, it will have a hometown star taking center stage prior to the biggest game of the NFL season.

As CBS and the NFL announced Thursday, seven-time Grammy Award-winning singer Gladys Knight will sing the national anthem before kickoff at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, marking a Super Sunday homecoming for the Atlanta-born Rock and Roll Hall of Famer.

Damn. I'm gonna have to close TD for now. Too many funny posts when I'm sitting 4 chairs away from the presenter.

The black community was in uproar that they didn’t book a black performer for halftime and now the nfl is bending over backwards to fill in the gaps

lil John
Travis Scott
Jermaine Durpi

Are all performing with Maroon 5 now

Now Gladys


It’s nice that a demographic that represents 12% of the population gets the majority

Why arent the Hispanics and Asians outraged?

Sorry they didn’t get mick jaggers corpse to go thrust his 85 year old hips on stage to satisfy the baby boomer.

Why are you outraged?

Oh yeah because they added hip hop acts to the Super Bowl in a city that happens to be the center of the rap universe.
