"The Star-Spangled Banner," if you listen to the words, is about waking up in the morning and finding out the flag is still there. It's about a moment of joy, a celebration. Black folks, when we celebrate, we dance. R. Kelly gave tribute to that song the best way he knows how. "Oh we can see? The flag is still there? Banners yet wave? Let's step."

Oh holy shit PWNT! Got this from SI.com's media awards article.

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2005/writers/richard_deitsch/12/19/media.circus/index.html

"Rating of the Year (Part I): Quite Frankly, ESPN2, 0.18 rating
Former ESPN programming head Mark Shapiro had a simple edict when it came to generating buzz for new shows: Flood the zone. And then flood it some more. If there was a single sports fan who had not seen a promo for Quite Frankly, the hour-long interview show hosted by Stephen A. Smith, he or she had probably been stuck on the island with the other survivors from Lost. Despite the heavy marketing campaign, Quite Frankly has, quite frankly, not drawn an audience. The show started on Aug. 1 and has averaged an 0.18 rating or 161,000 households since its debut. The ratings for males 18-and-over is 0.12. The figures are through Dec. 14."
