coolsnow23 Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 I am watching the game on CSN and I heard the band playing Hail to the Redskins right after the Raven's touchdown? What's the hell is up with that? Makes no sense to me. Is that something new this year? I hope not. :dallasuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFKFedEx Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 It wasn't the band. It was the DJ playing it for no reason. It's been happening every game lately and it has GOT TO STOP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missin Meast Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 even my GIRLFRIEND was like .... ummmm , why are they playing that song? Zorn must have paid the announcer a chucnk of the 2 million he is getting from Danny boy to pull a prank... its not like you can just stop the song once you've started it!

The rendition of HTTR heard after the Ravens TD was the DJ playing a studio version of the song. A track which sounds like it was recorded sometime in the 50s or 60s. A corny sounding version of HTTR played at the absolute wrong time. The director of in game media needs to get a clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFKFedEx Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Oh' date=' yea - I forget about the Dj.........maybe he hit the wrong button.(.......[/quote']I wish I could give that person the benefit of doubt, but the DJ has been playing this HTTR cut since the beginning of last year. As others have said, there is only one reason to ever play that song during a game, and only the band should have that right. Not some punk DJ. In game media has improved so much from last year, but this is a blemish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GibbsLombardi Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 My section was absolutely enraged to hear the Video Jockey play "Hail To The Redskins" (Complete with words on the screens to teach us how to sing it) after the Ravens scored. It was shocking and filled my whole area with anger. I didn't feel like singing it the rest of the game after that awful moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dukes and Skins Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 It wasnt pretty!I was livid. You werent the only one my mom who is a diehard fan was like "wait what just happened?" I was puzzled and just shook my head and almost chuckled at it. I know there were a lot of people around us who were the same way as us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backpack3r Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Probably some Raven fan snuck in or was working for the normal guy since its preseason and was messing around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonnyandSam Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 I'm planning to file a formal complaint by email tomorrow. I, as well as others in my section, were shocked that they piped in Hail to the Redskins after the Raven TD. How incredibly stupid. As others have posted, the Band was not playing the song. It was a prerecorded version that went with the video shown on the Stadium's HD video screens. The Stadium game day director needs to be admonished and sent to the corner for a time out.:saber: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeweiseman Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Skins staff screwed up. It is what it is. I'm sure someone is being paddled about now, so let's move on. HAIL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawaiianTime Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 And here's another miscue that had fans a bit puzzled: The home team band played the celebratory fight song "Hail to the Redskins" after the Ravens' first touchdown, a 1-yard run by Willis McGahee that followed the fake punt. http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/2010082151/2010/PRE2/ravens@redskins#recap-channels:cat-post-recap-full-story Even NFL.com noticed.
