You may have noticed something missing from last night's Monday Night Football telecast. Both Indianapolis and Tampa Bay were there, but Bocephus wasn't. Hank Williams, Jr., singer of the iconic MNF anthem "Are You Ready for Some Football?" for over 20 years, was pulled from the telecast after some disparaging remarks he made yesterday afternoon about President Obama. ESPN says the singer compared this summer's so-called golf summit between Obama and House Speaker John Boehner as "one of the biggest political mistakes ever" telling Fox News' Fox & Friends: "It would be like Hitler playing golf with (Israeli leader) Benjamin Netanyahu." So ESPN took his song off the air. For more, click here. Last night, TMZ reported that Hank said in a statement he was "misunderstood." "My analogy was extreme – but it was to make a point. I was simply trying to explain how stupid it seemed to me - how ludicrous that pairing was." Read more here.
