American Idol judge and lead singer for Aerosmith - perhaps the biggest rock band to come out of Boston - Steven Tyler belted out the National Anthem before Sunday's AFC Championship game between the New England Patriots and Baltimore Ravens - but... was he a little pitchy, dog?

Decked out in a fur-lined leather jacket & sparkly Patriots scarf, the hometown hero seemed a little more Roseanne Barr than "Sweet Emotion" - but you can probably chalk that up to old age - after all, the guy's 63.

FOX Sports columnist Jason Whitlock even threw in his two cents afterward, Tweeting, "Steven Tyler far more obscene than Janet Jackson's t-tty."

It's not the first time Tyler sang the Anthem, he also performed it before Game 1 of the 2004 World Series between the Boston Red Sox and St. Louis Cardinals. He was much better then...
