While Tim McGraw may be a superstar to millions of fans around the world, to his three daughters, he’s still just dad, which means he’s quite capable of embarrassing his kids at any moment, like any other parent. Tim jokes that he embarrasses his daughters simply by walking out of the house, but if he had to cite a specific example, it would be his behavior while running the chains at high school football games. Tim is such a huge football fan that he loves to go out and watch the high school games and even help out on the sidelines running the chains, but he says, “My wife actually banned me from doin’ that anymore at high school football games. I can’t run the chains anymore.”
Tim says the ban from Faith came because he had a tendency to want to argue with the officials while he was working the chains. He laughs and says, “It’s like you can’t operate the chains and yell at the officials.”
So it looks like this fall, while he prepares to release his next album, featuring his new single, “Top of the World,” Tim will have to watch the high school football games from the stands like the rest of the parents.

Tim McGraw – embarrass daughters (via KMLE) :16
“When I wake up in the mornin’, and walk out of the house, probably workin’ the chains at high school football games and arguing with the officials. In fact, my wife actually banned me from doin’ that anymore at high school football games. I can’t run the chains anymore. It’s like you can’t operate the chains and yell at the officials.”

(:31) (Tim McGraw) “I’ve never played Red Rocks before so I’m really looking forward to that. Last night we were at a function at school because my daughter’s graduating in a couple of days so, we were at a function at school and a friend of mine was there and he said that he’d always wanted to go to Red Rocks to a show and he saw that I was playing there so he’s gonna fly out with his wife to come to the show at Red Rocks. And we started talking about the history of that place and all the great acts that have played there and all the interviews that you see of great artists who have played there and say it’s like a religious experience to play at Red Rocks because it’s just the atmosphere and you know the storied ness of the music in that place so I’m really looking forward to it.”
