ESPN: Like It Wasn't Clear Already?

[Mr10mm]

She does NBC on Sunday. Hank left NBC for ESPN along with the Monday Night contract.

I have watched my LAST Monday night football game... And ESPN can suck my grass...

Not trying to be a azz but I believe Monday night football was always on ABC till it moved to espn, which is owned by the same company that owns ESPN (Disney). So espn= ABC = Disney.

If you represent a company you have the right to voice your opinion, as does the company has the right to fire you over said opinion, if it's not in the best interest of the company. As a spokesman, you are the face of that company and if you want to continue being part of the payroll, you should not convey a personal opinion that could damage the company's profitability. This is the bottom line regarding this story. Hank said something, irrelevant to the job he was hired to do, that would affect part of their viewing audience negatively.

I neither agree or disagree with what they did (I don't watch football, cuts into hunting time), but if you're in the spotlight, you'd better stick to the que cards.

Ahh you're right. I meant to clarify that Faith was one the other prime time broadcast. I got the stations confused.

Hank wrote a song about the whole thing and it should be released today or tomorrow.

Williams wrote the topical third verse of "I'll Keep My ..." when he woke up Friday morning and he and a group of players laid it down in a Nashville studio by Friday afternoon. It could be on iTunes late Monday or early Tuesday.

In the song Williams, son of country music icon Hank Williams, says "Fox & Friends" hosts twisted his words: "So Fox `n Friends wanna put me down/Ask for my opinion/Twist it all around." He finishes the verse: "Well two can play that gotcha game you'll see."

Early in the song, he says the U.S. is "going down the drain" and says it's becoming "The United Socialist States of America." He mentions keeping "Fox & Friends" and ESPN out of your home toward the end of the song.

Faith Hill is now singing the intro isn't she? Not really a fan of it...makes me feel kind of weird.

Like when you used to climb the rope in gym class?
