Aaron Rodgers is in a no win situation.

Williams Jr. to continue 'Monday Night Football'

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Hank Williams Jr., who has sung the opening theme for "Monday Night Football" since 1989, will continue the tradition this season.

ESPN spokesman Bill Hofheimer says Williams will again base the theme song on his hit "All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight."

Williams is recording the tracks this week in Nashville, Tennessee, and will shoot the video next month in Los Angeles.

"Monday Night Football" kicks off its 39th season September 8th with a doubleheader: Minnesota Vikings at Green Bay Packers followed by Denver Broncos at Oakland Raiders.

The 59-year-old Williams continued doing the theme song when the show moved from ABC to ESPN in 2006.

His other hit singles include "Family Tradition," "A Country Boy Can Survive" and "Born to Boogie."

Falcons are already in and everyone has reported. No hold outs, thanks.

Madden 2009 out Aug 12th.

Steelers should have reported in March, with the schedule they have.

I don't know...Hey why not start a poll.

Bad start at Latrobe....key part of the Steeler defense and former all-pro Casey Hampton sent home.  Tomlin said he is too fat and out of shape.  

Huge loss.   Hampton may be a bigger part of the Steeler defense than Troy (puns intended, but true).

Looks like it's going to be a long year in Steeltown.

Bump for the T D.

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- He didn't get his old locker or his old jersey number, but Grady Jackson is thrilled to be back with the Falcons.

The 345-pound defensive tackle signed a contract to return to the Falcons Tuesday afternoon. He originally signed with the club in 2006 but was abruptly released during the 2007 bye week. He went on to play in Jacksonville under now Falcons Head Coach Mike Smith and defensive line coach Ray "Sugar Bear" Hamilton.

With the coaching change, Atlanta became a perfect fit.

"I never had hard feelings," Jackson told reporters Tuesday. "It probably was bad the way (former head coach Bobby) Petrino did it. But it's his way... I'm back now and that's the good thing."

Jackson is an 11-year NFL veteran who has made stops with the Oakland Raiders (1997-2001), New Orleans Saints (2002-03), Green Bay Packers (2003-05), Falcons (2006-07, 2008) and Jacksonville Jaguars (2007). He has competed in 155 games while compiling 507 tackles (362 solo), 33.5 sacks, eight forced fumbles, seven fumble recoveries and a blocked PAT (2002) and field goal (1997).

The defensive tackle adds immediate skill and depth to a defense he's familiar with.

"This is where I wanted to be at and I wanted to come here with the guys I've played with... I feel like I can make an impact with them," Jackson said. "It feels great. It's the same defense we had in Jacksonville. It's a defense I know and I can go ahead and play ball."

Pro Bowl defensive end John Abraham said he lobbied for Smith to bring Jackson.

"It gives us a great centerpiece," Abraham said. "Grady was here last year and through divine intervention he's back. I think everyone is happy. I know the fans are happy. I know the team is happy. We just want to see him get on the field and do what he did last year before his early departure."

Smith said Jackson gives the Falcons a lineman ale to "gobble up space."

“I’ve been around guys that weigh in Grady’s range," the coach said. "In Baltimore we had the big tackles. He gobbles up space. He’s going to gobble up at least two blocks on plays. It’s going to allow other players to be free. When you design a defense you try to get an unblocked defender at the point of attack and he’ll help us in that way. "

Jackson will be on the practice field Wednesday in jersey No. 91.
