jusbadd2 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 They just showed it for a second, but he was crying during the anthem. I get a little choked up when I hear it sometimes too. More though when I hear taps. Just wondered what he was thinking about, that he got so emotional about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgt_rob Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Reggie is a sensitive guy. He was just visualizing his TD run before it even happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrentMc11 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I think Reggie is comfortable in his own skin. Nothing wrong with some good ole tears. Like you, taps gets me because I lost my dad in October, and he was a D-Day Omaha Red survivor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valpo2004 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 For the record my wife and I both thought that having a guy play the national anthem on a trumpet was way more classy then having some pop star or something like that sing it. The guy who played it did an awesome job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's at the age where he can reflect on his career and knows that he doesn't have much longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggie's getting close to a lot of Marvin's old records -- he might just be grateful he's been able to bounce back from a couple injuries this late in his career and still lace 'em up.

Dr. Guildo Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 The anthem has a way of making even the toughest people tear up... and last nights was darn good. We should all contact the league to bring in people like that more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dread the day they announce someone like Miley Cyrus as the singer, and you know it is coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buck Showalter Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Speaking of good instrumental National Anthems, there was a good one at Lucas a few years ago, think it was a Dec. game vs.texans, but a string quartet played the N.A. that was a good one for the holiday season...

lollygagger8 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Reggie is the man. He can do whatever he wants which includes but is not limited to shedding a tear when he's moved. Speaking of moving, CONGRATS TO REGGIE FOR BECOMING THE NFL'S 8TH ALL TIME RECEIVING YARDS LEADER!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wesd2890 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 The older you get the more emotional you get.. lol.. but seriously i think it was more of a grateful thing.. you can sense by reggies body language and the way he talks and present himself that he is truly grateful for everything he has.. the league needs more people like him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockywoj Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I cry almost all the time during the anthems and when the crowd is cheering wildly. I think I have some sort of serious issues, but it is comforting to see a guy like Reggie with the tears steaming as well. Maybe I am not so weird after all. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
