Was Tim McGraw’s rescue effort staged or real? You decide.

Tim McGraw fans and media hounds alike are in heaven as this juicy morsel of video was released showing Tim yanking a concert-goer out of the crowd and kicking him out of the show. Claims are that McGraw looked down from the stage and observed a man being abusive to a woman just below him. He didn’t think security was fast enough so he began pulling the man up himself to break up the fight.

However, in watching the video I find it odd that the incident occurs and is over with in perfect time with the song. Call me a cynic but to me the entire ordeal seems more staged than Jessica Simpson’s foray into country music. Watch the video and leave your comments below.

This incident occurred on Tim McGraw’s Live Your Voice tour.

Toby Keith gets recognition from the U.S. House of Representatives for his unwavering support of US Military Personnel.

“Toby has done so much to show his commitment and appreciation to our nation’s armed forces,” Rep. Tom Cole said. “He has given his time and energy to put on performances for our troops overseas and at home. He has really gone out of his way to support our servicemen and women and their families.”

“I appreciate Congressman Cole’s recognition in introducing this resolution,” Toby Keith said. “I have to say that the real glory belongs to those men and women I’ve met who leave their families and put it on the line for the rest of us. Getting to visit with them once a year is the biggest honor for me, and I will continue to encourage other artists and performers to make that USO trip.”
