ESPN has dropped Hank Williams Jr. from opening Monday Night Football tonight after Williams' controversial comments Monday about President Obama.

Says ESPN, in a statement: "While Hank Williams Jr. is not an ESPN employee, we recognize he is closely linked to our company through the opening to Monday Night Football. We are extremely disappointed with his comments, and as a result have decided to pull the open from tonight's telecast."

Williams, perhaps best known for his "are you ready for some football?" lead-in to ESPN's Monday Night Football, Monday compared this summer's so-called golf summit between Obama and House Speaker John Boehner as "one of the biggest political mistakes ever."

As Williams put it on Fox News' Fox & Friends: "It would be like Hitler playing golf with (Israeli leader) Benjamin Netanyahu."

When asked on Fox to explain his analogy, Williams said Obama and Vice President Biden are "the enemy."

Although ESPN has a policy about its on-air personalities getting involved in politics, Williams has said he's interested in running as a Republican in 2012 for a U.S. Senate seat in Tennessee.

"Jr." has always been a no talent, no class act from the beginning of his career. He lived off his dads name and nothing more.

I like Faith Hill on Sunday nights WAAAY more than the MNF theme.

That's the real deal down below. Not that fat over bearing no talent drug abusing slob who rode off his daddy's name.

He had a good run with that song. More than most ever will. He is right though in his opinions. The Socialists could run Hitler and the hard core of them would line up to vote for him.

Awesome. You've truly outdone yourself on that one.

Words literally fail me.

Hank was getting stone cold drunk by the age of 11.

Country music is over rated.

Jr. didn't take off until that Urban Cowboy movie with Travolta and Mickey Gilley. Everyone wanted to get in on the fad with all the feathers in the hat and that horrible line dancing.

Country music will be officially dead when George Jones and his protege Randy Travis pass away.

Comparing someone to Hitler just never, ever turns out well. You would think people would learn.

The MNF opener is a waste of time anyway. Show the national anthem.

That's all he ever did. Bring back Marty Robbins and Patsy Cline!
