stevieboy247 42 Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 The theme song that introduced ESPN's "Monday Night Football" for nearly 20 years will not return after Hank Williams Jr. made comments about President Obama by comparing him to Hitler.

Guest Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Not too broken up about this. The intro was dated and the guy's clearly an idiot. Let's be fair, everyone is entitled to their opinion of course - but who the hell cares what Hank Williams Jr thinks about anything?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Apparently somebody did since ESPN dumped him... No, I get that. My point is what idiot producer at Fox says "Ooh, we need to book Hank Williams on our show and get his insight!!"?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newsteam13 367 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Hank WIlliams, Jr. and his theme song was always a part of Monday Night Football. It started when ABC was an independently-produced sports division (like NBC and CBS), and there were many good MNF intros pre-Hank. HWJ's theme and intro has outdone all the past MNF intros from 1970 until 1989. Two men remained constant: 1st Frank Gifford (whatever became of him) and then Al Michaels (now at NBC Sports' Sunday Night Football) Speaking of which (from season two and beyond), NBC sports followed suit with another country music star (Faith Hill) singing the intro to Sunday Night Football; they are competing with Hank's MNF intro saying "Are You Ready for some football?
