Stay home, rowdy friends. "Monday Night Football" isn't looking for a party this year.
ESPN called a musical audible this week for its primetime NFL program, swapping Hank Williams Jr.'s familiar "All My Rowdy Friends" introduction with "Rip It Up," a 1956 song from rock 'n' roll architect Little Richard.
Williams Jr.'s "rowdy" tune — proclaiming a "Monday night party" before each week's broadcast — may sound out-of-place during a season where games planned to be played in empty stadiums, an unnamed network representative told the Washington Post.
Williams Jr.'s management team confirmed the decision Wednesday to The Tennessean.
