So what are we to expect tonight for the opening of Monday Night Football? To be honest, I missed it last week. I didn’t know about ESPN relieving Hank William’s Jr. until the next day. Hey, it was the Bucs and Colts with gunslinger Curtis Painter running the show.

If you tuned into the Monday Night Football game last night between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Indianapolis Colts you may have noticed that something was missing at the beginning.  That would be the signature "Are You Read for Some Football" opening by Hank Williams Jr., which will no longer be part of the programming due to Williams controversial comments about President Obama.
