Hank Williams Jr. back on Monday Night Football

[Spike]

He's baaaaaaack



ESPN says they are bringing back country star Hank Williams Jr. to sing the "Monday Night Football" theme.

The Worldwide Leader parted ways with Williams in 2011 after he make some remarks about former President Barack Obama following a golf outing with then-Rep. House Speaker John Boehner.

Williams compared the outing to a meeting between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and German dictator Adolf Hitler.

“I think it’s a return to our past in that it’s such an iconic song associated with football,” Stephanie Druley, ESPN’s senior vice president of events and studio production, said via USA Today.

“It was the original," Druley said. "It belongs to Monday Night Football. It really is about returning to what fans know. It’s a Monday night party and that’s what we’re all hoping to get back to.”

Williams' new version of the "All My Rowdy Friends" theme will debut on Monday, Sept. 11 before the game between the New Orleans Saints and the Minnesota Vikings.

I reckon it does to somebody Coolie, just depends on how much pull that somebody has. My guess would be that this Stephanie Druley lady has it right now.

I'm glad Hank is back.

 

[mightyguru]

Trump fans will love this....but will they tune back in to ****** matchups?

 

[Steeler]

I like the Sunday night games much better. Don't know why. But I definitely approve of bringing Hank back.

It really doesn't matter who sings it but Hank was an all time favorite with the ratings to prove it. This move goes to show how desperate the NFL is for trying to recoup some of the ratings it lost. GLAD he is back (Hank) and looking forward to his opening verse, regardless of the political assumption by some.





Salute the nation

Hank should have made them publicly apologize for the firing before he went back to work for the devil.

 

[Coach]

ESPN makes a good move. You could say they needed one.
