jeffsays Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 anyone have a link to the new one? I didn't watch the MNF game this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM72 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I'm sure the new one is a work in progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinC Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I was getting tired of the old song to be honest - it was time for a change IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFK Lives Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Definitely time for a change. The dancing statues last year were a little disturbing. Bring back the old school classic, maybe have some audio clips of Cosell, Dandy Don, Giff etc. A lot of us grew up on that stuff and it was iconic. I am not talking long clips, but maybe quick clips. I don't know, would not mind watching Faith Hill dance around in something skimpy two nights in a row if NBC would loan her out. They have some really sucky matchups coming up, so might as well toy around with some stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Wiggles Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 The Bocephus song was classic cheese. I absolutely loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I supose them starting Tebow adds some interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCranon21 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 It was time. In my opinion, I think that song wore out it's welcome 10 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouvan59 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Didn't hear the new one but I've been done with the old one for a while. Love the saying "Are you ready for some football?" but don't need the rest of the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_neon Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I didn't get to hear the new MNF theme. I must say, I'm very satisfied with hear/seeing the SNF theme with Faith Hill! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinzplay Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I stopped watching pre-game entertainment and such a long time ago. When it comes to the NFL, I want to see football. I don't tune in to see the latest chart-topper lip-synch his or her way through an intro, or to hear someone add far too many syllables to words in the national anthem. Keep it focused on football. I like the idea mentioned by 'RFK Lives'. In fact, when it comes to the national anthem, I'd much prefer that a local band be asked to perform it as an instrumental rendition. That way, a band - and its musicians (real musicians) - will get a chance to showcase talent each week from various cities around the country. I'll admit that the Hank Williams, Jr. intro had become a recognized part of MNF, but it had grown stale and become grossly over-produced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebluefood Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Hated "ARR U REEDDDY FUR SUM FUUUTBAAWWWLL" the day I first heard it up until that schmuck got yanked from the telecast. Thank God we get a change. Maybe next week, as a joke, they'll bring back the original theme song to MNF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 So, you ask which one is better, and the original isn't even one of the choices? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onedrop Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 You know what was better? When the entire MNF broadcast wasnt so damned biased. Barry Sanders doing the opening, detroit rock city playing the show in and out etc....hell we all remember a couple of years ago with the eagles Skins game, mcnugget dodging the entire "defense" in the pre game. Espn picks their best story line and runs with it. Dont get me started on that idiot gruden and his "hes one of the best in the league" crap.

ArmchairRedskin Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I still need somebody to ask me if I'm prepared for the upcoming contest. It was my favorite question to answer every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Now, I do remember one opening that I thought was pretty cool. It opened with stars, moving towards the camera. William Shatner's voice-over: Space. The final frontier. For centuries, man has asked questions. And he has explored. Further. Faster. With ever more sensitive senses. Always questioning. Occasionally, finding answers. And, occasionally, more questions. But, Man continued to explore. Until, eventually, only one question remained. Cut to Shatner, standing on the promenade set from Deep Space 9. A football comes sailing in through the "window" (They don't have glass in them.) Shatner catches the football. "Are you ready for some football?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinklein Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I thought the Hank Williams bit was iconic, but that doesn't mean I don't welcome the change. ---------- Post added October-11th-2011 at 06:46 PM ---------- Now, I do remember one opening that I thought was pretty cool.

Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 When I finally get to hear it I'll tell you.

Gracelander Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I'll take the classic "dun dun dah dahhhhh" over any of em'.. You're right, the classic song that you mentioned is what I like the best, especially at a Redskins game when they play it over the stadium speakers, it has to get the players going. The newer one doesn't do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Tater Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I'll take the classic "dun dun dah dahhhhh" over any of em'.. That's why you should want MNF to change its theme song. That classic pretty much started when we finally became decent again and ran to just a little while after we got bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
