Remember last year when ol' Bocephus was kicked off Monday Night Football for comparing President Obama to Hitler?

Before that, Hank Williams Jr's' "Are You Ready for Some Football?"  was a MNF staple for over 20 years!   Hank Jr says he quit the show, but ESPN claims he was let go.   As a result of the break up, a different opening is being featured every week and Charlie Daniels will have that honor this Monday night. 

A special version of "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" will play just before the Atlanta Falcons host the Denver Broncos.   Charlie recently recorded a revised version of his 1979 smash for ESPN, mentioning Falcons' quarterback Matt Ryan and Broncos' new QB, Peyton Manning in the new lyrics. "I've been watching 'Monday Night Football' since it started and to be a part of it makes me feel proud," he say on his website. "I had to watch the lyrics real close because I've done those same 'Devil Went Down to Georgia' lyrics for 33 years!"    MNF exec Jay Rothman thinks the song is a perfect fit.    "This is one of the fun things about having a new themed open each week. It gives us a blank canvas to be creative and incorporate athletes, celebrities, musicians and others depending on the storylines of the game." Read more here.
