Kylie Cantrall's World Series national anthem being called best since Whitney by some, NFL memes & Ric update

Before this morning, I'd never heard the name Kylie Cantrall. No clue who she is. Now? We're talking about a potential breakout star after Saturday night's national anthem efficiency before Game 2 of the World Series in Milwaukee where she belted out a rendition that's being called the best "since Whitney."
We're talking the best efficiency of the "Star Spangled Banner" since Super Bowl XXV on January 27, 1991. I'm not saying it, but others are. Let's go to the comments where this praise is being heaped on Cantrall.

As I'd written going into the state race, the goal for Jr. was 11:teens on a course that's notoriously fast in a race filled with some serious competition. His official time was 11:10:00 (2 miles), good for 22nd place (377 runners) and just one-tenth of a second behind his teammate who finished 21st.
Jr.'s time is now the 9th fastest time in the history of the junior high program, which is unfathomable considering where he was just a year ago when his PR was 12:14.
As for the team, the boys won a state title for the school with 1st, 21st, 22nd, 78th and 85th place finishes. The final total was 156 points for Perrysburg to 178 points for Kings Junior High out of Cincinnati.
If we go back 14-15 months ago, you guys were teaching me everything about cross country and explaining that it's more than just running. There's actual strategy. Now I study split times and point systems. I watched as Jr. was 64th at the quarter-mile mark, to 40th at the mile, to 29th at the 1 3/4 mile post and then he picked off seven more spots in a helluva kick to the finish line.
Last night, at dinner, I reiterated to Mrs. Screencaps that I never thought in my wildest dreams I would enjoy spending a Sunday watching kids run these races. I think it's the festival atmosphere that's so relaxing. People eating quesadillas at picnic tables. Some people bringing in their dogs. Sun shining.
What a life pivot this has all been.
• Michael P. in Allons, TN says: Out on McAfee but in his defense that goes for all pregame shows. CFB NFL MLB (don't watch the NBA). The only one I might watch is NHL on TNT.
ALL NFL pregame shows are useless drivel and College Game Day is so scripted they might as well read off a tele-prompter. If anything watchable happens there’ll be a 30 second clip on X.
