Here's the link to ESPN's contact page. Maybe if they get enought requests to televise Chris, they will. For those who haven't yet read his myspace message this is about Chris singing the National Anthem for Monday Night Football on October 16th in Phoenix, AZ. It's worth a shot.

Good idea! Like you said, it can't hurt to try.
Anyone who goes to other Chris sites:
Post this same idea on other Chris fan sites. The more emails, the better.

okay I only found out that it's a Baseball game in Atlanta...so I checked out the Atlanta Braves website, but it does not say anything about it...only that starting today they have 7 home games in a row, one every day...
anybody knows when exactly?

I really don't know anything about an Atlanta Braves game. Chris is singing the National Anthem on Monday Night Football, October 16th at the Phoenix Cardinals game ( who are playing the undefeated Chicago Bears

). The show is televised on ESPN at 7:30pm central time but we're not sure if they televise the siniging of the National Anthem. That's why we are contacting ESPN, to request the song be televised. This information came from Chris via myspace.
The Atlanta Braves are done playing for the season, but there is a rumor that Chris may be singing at the World Series but has not been confirmed yet.
I hope this helps you.

They never showed it when it was on ABC, I'm not sure about ESPN though, I haven't checked out a Monday night game yet this year. But I hope you are right

You are right, they do not normally show the National Anthem, so hopefully this time they will hear us and show it.

yeah, that's what i got too, must be an automated reply. can't wait to see Chris!
want to hear something funny? i turned down a conference for next week in AZ only to find out that as one of the treats of our sponsors, they're taking my team to the game (my boss is a big Cards fan and she knew that most of us are Bears fan being from Chicago).

anybody, feel free to smack me in the head...

JUST SENT MY PLEA, HERE'S WHAT I SENT:
"Just a small note to let you know that if you want the ratings for Monday Night Football on October 16th to jump higher than Carl Lewis on meth - broadcast Chris Daughtry singing the national anthem before the game starts. And advertise that he will be broadcasted. Think MySpace, MTV, etc. As an advertising professional, and I can assure you that telling advertisers that their spots enjoyed a huge spike of unique impressions (eyeballs) would be a very good thing for the old cashflow there."
(they cut me off after 500 characters. bastards. all of them.)

Well, I just watched the beginning of tonight's game and no anthem

. Maybe they'll answer our emails *fingers crossed*.
Karen ~ Maybe you could at least have some of your coworkers try for video and pictures

. God, wouldn't you just die if they actually come in contact with him?
Daughtry04

Yeah, I watched the game too. No anthem. But then again maybe there wasn't anyone well known singing. It could have been a kid for all we know.

total bad timing... i chose the SC trip over the AZ trip because the SC one is on Hilton Head which i thought was better. little did i know...

looks like the game was just a last minute bonus from our sponsors, they just got hold of tickets or something like that... *sigh*

i would definitely sweet talk them to doing that, don't know though how resistant they would be.

and i would just die and not talk to anyone at all if they meet him...

Aah. I really hope EPSN does. Can't see why they wouldn't, since they meaningless things like the National Scrabble Championship on air. Haha. I wonder why they wouldn't televise this.
Has anyone emailed them and got any sort of reply about it yet?
