Country music legend Reba McEntire set social media abIaze with an epic rendition of the National Anthem at Super Bowl LVIII on Sunday.
As McEntire was singing, the broadcast cut back and forth between a number of soldiers deployed overseas in South Korea, as well as the Las Vegas dome, which was decorated with the American flag. At one point, Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackIe could be seen tearing up.
The performance was completed with a military flyover before the two teams met for the coin toss.
McEntire’s rendition with widely met with praise on social media despite some minor audio issues.
“Reba killed it,” wrote ex-NFL punter turned football pundit Pat McAfee.
Post Malone and Reba McIntrye both killed that. And, by the way, no pIayer in the NFL that I’m aware of still kneels for the anthem. No one here on either team, said Clay Travis. It’s pretty amazing how that trend just completely vanished. And how ratings have set all time records since it ended.
Man Rescued a Trapped Crying Wild Horse. How It Thanked Him is Unbelievable
In a heartwarming turn of events outside of Calgary, a group of Good Samaritans came to the rescue of a distressed horse trapped in a treacherous marshland. The horse, part of a new herd in the area, had wandered off during heavy rainfall, finding itself stuck in the muddy quagmire.
Darla Connelly, overseeing the situation, expressed deep concern for the new herd, unfamiliar with the challenging terrain during this unusually rainy season. Her fears materialized when one of the mares, a two-year-old, ventured too far and got trapped in the marsh.
The rescue effort kicked into high gear when the distress signals from the trapped horse were spotted. A team of volunteers from Help Alberta Wildlife Society, equipped with ATVs and specialized rescue gear, rushed to the scene. The horse, struggling to keep afloat, faced the imminent threat of sinking further into the muddy abyss.
Daryl Glover, one of the volunteers, braved the treacherous mud to approach the distressed mare. With careful maneuvering, he secured a rope around the horse’s hindquarters, offering support to ease her struggle. The coordinated efforts of the team prevented the situation from escalating further.
As the ATV’s engine roared, the rescue rig tightened the rope, allowing the horse to gain a foothold and aiding her ascent. In a remarkable display of resilience, the horse’s hind legs found firmer ground, and with each pull, she inched closer to safety.
Amidst the tension of the rescue operation, an unexpected moment of gratitude unfolded. Once the horse was on solid ground, she exhibited a surprising display of appreciation. Rather than bolting away in fear, the mare approached Daryl, nuzzled him, and even sniffed in acknowledgement.
