He's still ready for some football
For an unprecedented 20th season, Hank Williams Jr. will be singing the opening theme for Monday Night Football., starting with ESPN's Sept. 8 double header of Minnesota at Green Bay (7 p.m. ET) and Denver at Oakland (10:15 p.m. ET). Williams first performed "All My Rowdy Friends Are Here on Monday Night" -- based on his hit song "All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight" -- in 1989 during the 20th anniversary season of MNF on ABC. Through the years, the MNF intro segment has featured Williams in a variety of settings -- cruising the highway in a convertible with Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, tapping with famed dancer Savion Glover, even flying through outer space. After performing alongside an all-star band the past two years on ESPN, Williams will be a solo act this fall, welcoming fans to the weekly MNF game with a house party theme.
