Barry is the new Hank Williams

[coel73]

well, not really, but he is taking over for the intro this coming monday

Maybe now they're rotating the greats every Monday. I wouldn't mind seeing that.

 

[meditatedkickaboxa]

Ah..... I see.....

Now he is looking for some Lions spotlight.

I like Hank Williams, too bad he fkd up. What about the chick from Sunday Night Football? Me likey.

 

[wheels002]

I was looking forward to hearing Hank sing about the Lions but he did mess up and ESPN did what they had to do. I will miss him singing the intro.

 

[gloverunderthere]

I just don't get it. Yes, what he said was wrong, but he was obviously messed up on something. Also, ESPN promotes criminals and felons daily, and they turn the other cheek for those guys. I say they should have just pulled him for one week to show their feathers and then keep it rolling. GO LIONS!

Heading down to the ESPN Chalk Talk Luncheon on Monday at Ford Field, by some dumb luck I won a contest Barry was having on Twitter so ill get to meet him and the rest of the former Lions that will be there. I'm pretty damn pumped, I might just hide inside Ford Field til kickoff since I don't have a ticket lol. I can't wait for this game.

That was you?! I read about that on his twitter

 

[kgdetroit]

Yessir, sure was. If you look back the name of the first winner was @kgdetroit84, no coincidence there

idk....seems like a harsh penalty when he was clearly CONTRASTING BHO and Boehner, NOT likening them to Hitler and Bibi

Don't worry, ESPN will continue to have the ESPYS with rappers displayed in the crowd who sing about murdering cops and such. This is different.

 

[TheVictors]

Anyone who thinks ESPN doesn't have a clear agenda or isn't motivated 100% by ratings and $$$$$ is a fool.

One corporate sponsor thinks HWJr is a jagoff for saying what he did is one too many. Dana 'Horseface' Jacobsen got suspended for weeks for things she said at an untelevised ROAST and wasn't appearing on a national cable show to promote ESPN when she said what got her suspended.

 

[meditatedkickaboxa]

Hopefully they do that every week so highlight the city (player) the game is played in. but I would hate seeing GB highlights over and over.

 

[tinselwolverine]

I never liked Hank Williams Jr. much anyway.

I don't rap much either.

I am ready for some football though.

A Monday Night Party.

Like this one.

And all my rowdy friends are here on Monday night.

 

[mhughes0021]

was cool....but if im being honest it was kinda a crappy version of the eminem commercial

Hey Hughes ....just watched the game sitting up here @ the Hyatt/Aventine ... UTC area, here for biz this week

 

[Mitchrapp]

I thought it was anti climatic. I was expecting more.

 

[coel73]

I didn't get to see it :-/
Was on the way to the house 3minutes into the first quarter

nice! be sure to go to la jolla cove for lunch and watch all the cougars run rampant!

ps i was here for business 5 years ago....havent gone back yet

 

[erg57]

enough of the musical pageantry and just play the damn game. This is why I despise five hour long NFL pre-game. Its awful. I'll prolly be killed for that, but I cannot stand it. 30 mins is all you need to take care of every team

and then to have some washed up country **** say what we knew he thought anyways....jesus, who friggin cares.

barry sanders is an almost ironic choice. The guy showed up for the last two days of training camp. Scored. And handed the ball to the ref like a boss. Simple, no muss, no fuss. man, I miss that guy

what were we talking about?
