ESPN is bringing Hank Williams Jr. -- and all his rowdy friends -- back into the Monday Night Football fold, six years after the sports network parted ways with the brash country rocker following controversial remarks involving then-President Barack Obama.
Williams' new version of “All My Rowdy Friends Are Here on Monday Night," with his trademark opening: "Are you ready for some football?" will debut before a Sept. 11 game between the New Orleans Saints and the Minnesota Vikings.
“I think it’s a return to our past in that it’s such an iconic song associated with football,” said Stephanie Druley, ESPN’s senior vice president of events and studio production.

Mega-profits down. Viewership down. Whatsamater. Sucking up to Colin Kapernick and liberal social issues weren't profitable?
ReplyDeleteDon't watch it anymore unless at a bar or friend's house. Not worth paying $100/mo for cable.

I agree and unless Jr. is being paid an insane amount of money he should say screw them.
I agree, ESPN is is trouble for liberal views. Should be about sports period, but then again they can't help themselves.
