MNF's 40th Season - Most Successful In Television History
Monday Night Football opens up its 40th Season and Hank Williams Jr is right there inviting "all his rowdy friends" to come over--for the 21st year.
Monday Night Football will celebrate the memorable moments and the legendary players who have been part of the longest running and most successful prime time sports series in television history all season, and the opening video with Hank Jr will play off this with a MNF Hall of Fame theme.
He filmed the video earlier this summer at the Parthenon in Centennial Park in Nashville. The grandiose Hall of Fame-like structure serves as the backdrop for the shoot and is draped with banners of NFL legends John Elway, Jerry Rice, Emmitt Smith and Johnny Unitas.
Human statues and Hall of Fame busts come to life in the video. NFL team helmets and photos of indelible moments in MNF history also line interior shots of the Hall. Williams is surrounded by cheerleaders and rabid NFL fans.
Gloria Estefan – now a Miami Dolphins limited partner -- even makes a cameo appearance alongside Williams in the opening video for the New York Jets/Miami Dolphins game on October 12th as part of ESPN and the NFL’s Hispanic Heritage Month Celebration.
