Before ESPN parted ways with him in 2011, Hank Williams Jr.’s song “All My Rowdy Friends” had been a staple on the Monday Night Football broadcast since 1989. Following a six year hiatus due to some controversial comments about then-President Barack Obama, ESPN announced on Monday that Williams will debut a new version of the song before the first Monday night game of the upcoming NFL season, which will take place on September 11th between the New Orleans Saints and Minnesota Vikings.

ESPN pulled Williams from the Monday Night Football opening when he compared House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner playing golf with Obama to “Hitler playing golf with [Israeli Prime Minister] Benjamin Netanyahu” in 2011. Williams later issued a statement saying his “analogy was extreme – but it was to make a point. I was simply trying to explain how stupid it seemed to me.”
