Jimmy Buffett, the Mayor of Margaritaville himself, performed the national anthem prior to the NFC Championship Game between the Los Angeles Rams and New Orleans Saints.
Buffett did end the Star Spangled Banner in grand style.

But generally speaking, it didn’t go well. The people on Twitter were pretty quick to criticize.

If Jimmy Buffett could never sing the anthem again… that’d be great

I wish Jimmy Buffett would have dropped the mic before he sang. #NFLPlayoffs #RamsHouse

We can say this for Buffett’s rendition. He didn’t drag it out for a long time. It was quick.
