ESPN announced on Monday afternoon that the famous “Are You Ready for Some Football?” intro will not be part of tonight’s Monday Night Football broadcast after Williams made comments likening President Obama to Adolf Hitler.

Well that just confirms about Hank Williams, Jr. what everyone already knew.

That being said: Thank God. That intro made me want to shove ice picks in my ears.

ESPN is replacing Tirico and Gruden with Ted Nugent and Cat Stevens.

After all, everyone knows people watch football because of the political views of old singers.

ESPN will regret that. Hank is like that. Speaks his mind. Now, he will go out and have half a dozen songs about ESPN. mmmm, Maybe NOT a bad idea after all. Im gonna miss him.

Stupid comment no matter if you like Obama or not, he shouldn't be compared to Hitler.

That said, I don't know if it was fireable offense.

I for one am glad he is gone and not because of these comments, but because the opening is stale and stupid.

So Obama killed 6million jews ? caused more than 50million people to be dead, homeless and a generation full of misery ?

I guess Bush is Stalin, Pol Pot, Idi Amin all in one then.

Hank Williams Jr......certified uneducated inbred ass clown.

You didn't actually read the article, did you?

Also, Bush was compared to Hitler just about 24/7. About the only time he wasn't getting that comparison was when he was being called a chimp.

Hey guys, see you in the political forum! Seriously, please name me one sane person who has ever compared someone to Hitler. In my lifetime, I referred the killing of Bin Laden to that of Hitler. Hey, open up the floodgates, I'm sure Hank can treat us to some great analogies. Here's to you Hank: "Turn out the Lights, the parties over".
