the employee thing ...
no one answered my questions before
does he work at ESPN ?
does he have a job title or are they just using his song?
He doesn't seem like a commentator type :?
If it is just song I sure don't think that is an employee imo
...
Think of it as a contractor... like the people who install carpeting.
If the carpet installers said stuff that personally pissed you off... would you get rid of them?
Same thing. The intro is a contracted spot that he gets paid for. The people at ESPN get to decide whether or not to use the intro (and pay him for it)... or not.
oh rights to use his song entirely different than an employee or spokesperson that was what I figured
well with his buds he's a hero perhaps
with his fans still the man hopefully
and with the government ... he's on a list
...
I really don't think the government cares one way or the other. Again, nothing to do with the government... not a First amendment issue... everything to do with ESPN (by the way, ESPN is not the government... they are a broadcast network that mainly focuses on sports, not politics)... and sponsors who pay ESPN.
...
Now... if he was living in Yemen, preaching the destruction of America... then, the government might have a Hell Fire missile with his name on it.

He's not a fan of the man ... says they are our enemies ...I think you get on a list for that
maybe
speaking of which ...
that new show Person of Interest is kind of cool...
about the huge computer that was invented to find terrorists
and what they plan to do before it happens
how everyone, every email, every move is recorded, processed to find future danger
but the inventor decides to stop future personal crime and death with the info
with an awesomely strong powerful guy as the crime stopper ... I likeee
That is the problem with politics today... too many yahoos on both sides like him, just referring to the other party as "the enemy". What is right or best of the country is so far in the backseat most of the times, it's all about my "team" beating your "team".
Fucking idiot...
also, i'm pretty sure republicans would be up in arms if this was a republican president ...
What?? :?
Do you know how many times people compared Bush to Hitler? ON THIS FORUM?
...
So, you have proven the point... since Republicans were upset by people calling Bush, 'Hitler'... and not so much when people call Obama, 'Hitler'... the disgust all depends on which party you choose.
...
Now, you can carry on your debate on The Porch about which photo of Eddie is the hottest.

I'm guessing... probably NOT. I think that the government is more concerned with the names of the people found in notebooks and computers during the raid of the Bin Laden compound to worry about some dumb fuck hillbilly singer who doesn't like the President.
Now... if the name 'Hank Williams, Jr' appears in the Bin Laden notebook under the heading, 'Cell Leaders of Units To Blow Up The Super Bowl'... then, yeah... probably on a list.

If you are going to boot Hank for what he said, you'll have to be very careful what rapper you choose.
...
I agree. No opening bullshit. Do it old school where it just shows the players warming up with the game announcers voice dubbed over.
I mean... don't we already KNOW which teams are playing? There is ONE game on Monday Night... if you don't know which teams are playing... WHY in the world are you watching it?
Seriously... the opening song, just like the Super Bowl Halftime show, is for the ladies.

I don't agree with calling either of them Hitler. It's ridiculous on both accounts. I just thought I'd point out that it did happen with a Republican president..on this forum.
And which photo of Eddie is the hottest is quite the debate because there are so many choices.

that's not the best post ever i assure you. it is whacky i'll give you that. i have no idea about tons of shit on tv, yet when visiting my pals i sit with them and watch shit i have no idea about.
slap me stupid if you like. sorry i don;t know squat about anything

Then, we agree.
Like I've said before... people who compare people to Hilter are typically idiots that know little or nothing about Hitler or the person they are comparing him to. And in most cases, the comparison usually ends up being an insult to Hitler (and definately give you a little insight to the political intellect of the person making the comparison).

i think it's the title? It's fucking funny. Hank the third is in it! He is such a dumbass. The proof is in the pudding. He sings about hating things and snorting pills. A rat fuck? Larry David has even said the Hitler thing is too soon. only Michael Jordan has that mustace.
Celebrities should focus on what they are famous for doing like "acting", writing, creating, singing.
No personal statements.
Basic Manners state that talking about weather or sports will never make anyone super angry.
Am I the only one that wonders if Adolph Hitler was last of his family?
I mean, was there an Auntie Emily Hitler? His cousin, Kevin Hitler? Uncle Bob Hitler? Is there a little Heather Hitler who Great great uncle is the former German Chancellor turned Fuhrer?
And what about the name, 'Adolph'? It is actually, kind of a cool name... Ruined by Hitler. I mean... Who names their kid Adolph these days... other than Neo-Nazis from Georgia? What if it was German Chancellor Eddie Hitler in 1936? Would there be an Eddie Vedder in 1991? You'd probably have a Jeff Ament leaning against Adolph Vedder poster in your dorm room.
The Nazis really screwed it up for the swastika, too. A good luck symbol in many religions and cultures and kind of an elegant geometric figure. Now, if a Buddhist wears a bead with a swastika that was handed down in his family for 400 years... he is pegged as a Nazi or anti-Semite.
Same with the Bellamy Salute. You know, that was the way little children were taught to swear their alligence to our flag. Ruined by the Nazis (but, maybe not so much. That whole, children swearing alligence thing... is kind of creepy cultish... well, to me it is).
And what abut the Charlie Chaplin moustasche? Michael Jordan wears one... and people call him Hitler. Don't people realize... Michael Jordan is black? Doesn't fit in too well with the whole Aryan Supremecy thing (plus, there that whole Jesse Owens debacle the Nazis don't speak about).
So, yeah... Hitler was a bad guy. People need to consider who Hitler was and what he did and his impact on Human History... before they make a comparison. Don't get me wrong... vengeful war monger that commands a powerful Army and unleashes it, unprovoked, against a nation that poses no imminent threat... like what Hitler did to Poland... then, okay... you get the benefit of the doubt.

Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V
If you or I walked into work, and compared our bosses to Hitler....
We would be fired too...
I like Hank Jr.
I like his music....
I have seen him perform live....
Seems like a Good Ol Boy....
But what he said was just fucking stupid...
Pretty much, he seems like a good ol' boy, and now he has to face the consequences.

Again...it was an analogy .... a comparison of two men to another two men...
their relationship of two
"It'd be like Hitler playing golf with Netanyahu "
comparing Obama playing golf with Republican Rep. John Boehner
Like Hitler playing golf with a Jewish leader ... they are enemies... a strange pairing
He did not call Obama Hitler-like at all but of course this is not how the Democrats heard it.
Just another opportunity to bash a Republican.
As an independent this gets really old.... the tug of war
...
I admit it... i'm fucking lazy.
So, please... send me some Republican bashing quotes from Democrats on this thing.
Also, ESPN is a Sports Station on Cable Television that is a part of ABC. ABC and/or ESPN are not Democrats... they employ a lot of people... many of whom, i suspect, are Republicans.

Whether an analogy or Democrat or Republican or whether he actually called the President Hilter doesn't really matter in the big picture. Obama has been called far worse I'm sure. What does matter is HWJr lost his MNF gig which he had for over 20 years something I did not know and ESPN/ABC had the right to make a change based on what he said and they did.
So since Hank feels this way...... “After reading hundreds of e-mails, I have made MY decision,” Williams Jr said in a statement on his website. “By pulling my opening Oct 3rd, You stepped on the Toes of The First Amendment Freedom of Speech, so therefore Me, My Song, and All My Rowdy Friends are OUT OF HERE. It’s been a great run,” Williams Jr
added......it's ALL good then since Hank appears to have no regrets.

it is good. it is time for a new theme song.
maybe something with a little rock n' roll or maybe even some rap.
rap lends itself nicely to the concept of a new game featuring 2 different teams for 17 weeks. plus you can throw in some trash talking as well...
i am not a huge fan of rap, but i admire the creativity of a lot of the mcs..
