One of my favorite things to do is sing the national anthem. I think about my dad, my uncles, my cousins, both grandfathers who fought in the Vietnam war. I think about how my grandfather paw paw Tim would ask me to sing this song for him every time I saw him and how he would make me turn the other way to sing it so he could just weep and cry as hard as he wanted because it meant so much to him. I think about all of our troops I got to visit with and spend time with in the Middle East when I went over seas to sing for them. I think about all of the men crying because they missed their wives so much, or the man telling me he hadn't seen his baby girl yet since she was born. When I sing this song I think about them. This song is about them. It's not about me. That's what I think about every time I sing it. I love our country so much. And we should all love and respect each other because this is the greatest country in the world. I see the love. I see the unity in all walks of life on a daily basis and It makes me so proud to be an American..... so In the words of Forrest Gump. That's all I have to say about that.

TMZ-  Eric Decker did NOT want to be a part of the Tennessee Titans' national anthem demonstration on 
Sunday -- the team made a decision "without him knowing" ... so says his wife, Jessie James Decker.

The Titans players issued a statement after they played the Seahawks saying the team decided not to go 
out on the field for the anthem because they "wanted to be unified in our actions today."

"The players jointly decided this was the best course of action. Our commitment to the military and our 
community is resolute and the absence of our team for the national anthem shouldn't be misconstrued as unpatriotic."

But Jessie James Decker is calling BS on the situation ... saying, "My husband was not made aware it was 
time to go out for the game. Unfortunately a decision was made for him without him knowing."

​Jessie also posted a long message on Instagram explaining why she loves the national anthem -- and Eric 
commented, "Preach baby."

Look, I'm not entirely familiar with the intricacies of 'bro code' or 'man law' because I'm no longer a teenage douchebag that believes people with a penis should follow a distinct set of rules and regulations so that said penis appears bigger to their overly self conscious peers. I would imagine some stipulation about not outing a professional athlete who is telling a white lie to his super hot significant other is included in there somewhere, and that's why I want you guys to keep this information between us...

::whispers::...there's no fucking way that the Tennessee Titans hoodwinked an 8 year veteran into being in the locker room with the rest of his teammates during the National Anthem.

Now, I have no doubt that that's the spur-of-the-moment excuse that Eric Decker decided to go after getting confronted by his pissed off wife who - if we are being quite honest - has a particularly odd amount of important childhood anecdotes in which the National Anthem played a central role. However, I have an inkling that not wanting to become a massively polarizing figure as the only guy from EITHER team to stand on the sideline played a much bigger factor in him "losing track of time" than he's be willing to admit. As if the fact that he has damn near a decade worth of professional game day experience isn't enough evidence that he knows the routine then the "preach baby" response on social media was a classic class of overcompensation. 

Let's just put this it this way, I am inclined to think that Eric Decker would have found a way to see through the trickery that was allegedly organizational diversion if his wife were the one actually singing the Anthem. Mostly just because even the most legitimate alibi wouldn't have gotten him out of the dog house if he wasn't in plain sight during her performance.
