With the departure of Hank Williams, Jr., ESPN has already selected the music which will precede their Monday Night Football telecast, as the Detroit Lions host the Chicago Bears in an NFC North Division matchup. This will be an exciting game to watch, as The Lions are 4-0 going in.
The video…
And the guy who gets to ask…”Are you ready for some Football?” Why it’s none other than Barry Sanders!
Sanders spilled the beans on Twitter Thursday. As for future MNF games, ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz said that “This is the format we’ll likely use the remainder of the season. We haven’t made any decisions beyond that.”
As long-suffering Lions fan and PFT.com contributor Michael David Smith wrote earlier Friday, “Regardless of what you think of Williams’ comments and ESPN’s response to those comments, we can all agree on this: There’s no one better than Barry Sanders to welcome America to football in Detroit.”
Ah yes…He Who QUIT The Lions! Great choice, ESPN!
