Barry Sanders will take over for Hank Williams Jr. on Monday night
By MJD
With ESPN telling Hank Williams Jr. and all his rowdy friends to go home, the Worldwide Leader needed to find someone else to intro "Monday Night Football." Their choice for the first broadcast of the MNF era, post-Hank? Barry Sanders.
He won't be singing a country music song, though. He'll be featured in some other form of video segment that previews the game. From the Detroit Free Press:
"Ok, I admit it," Barry Sanders tweeted. "I will be at MNF this week and doing the intro."
Said ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz, "This is the format we'll likely use the remainder of the season. We haven't made any decisions beyond that."
I suppose we can expect something similar from here on out. No song (myself, I feel like this would have rocked the house), but an ex-player or someone else affiliated with the home city in a pre-packaged video segment. Best of luck to ESPN in finding someone for the remaining two MNF games in Jacksonville.
This is the kind of thing ESPN does well. Say what you want about the Worldwide Leader, but they can pump out a slickly produced hype video. On short notice, this isn't a bad call at all. Maybe by next year, they'll have come up with a suitable new song, but for now, we get video segments.

:soapbox: I may not watch another second of one game on ESPN or ABC :scared
political correctness has been taken to a new level with these jackasses. I do not watch anything other than sports on ABC, now I definitely am not. They also ran off Rush Limbaugh for making a statement that was true a few years back :shrug: assholes...
Its okay if your a liberal but not if your a conservative, fuck em...complete double standard...somebody feelings were hurt, pussies
off the soapbox now...
maybe they could get another hot woman like Shania Twain on NBC to do introductions for games...

Its real simple.
Or you can just cry about it in this forum and do nothing about it.

i think they should have an "in the bag" joe namath do a dramatic reading of the "occupy wallstreet" gang`s manifesto.......
might take his mind off bashing the jets for a while....
manifesto-ing is hard work....
