The alto saxophone 🎷 National Anthem performance for #Lions #Vikings game was really impressive. And @AshBlaum had to point out that it doesn't sound like that when I play. Thanks babe. 😩

Saxophone national anthem was more entertaining than 75% of the NFL games I've watched this season.

That was arguably the best national anthem I have ever seen. ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. #mikephillips #MINvsDET
