Barry Sanders: 3 Former Stars We'd Love to See on Monday Night Football Intro

The official word is that former NFL great and Detroit Lion Barry Sanders is going to be narrating the intro of Monday Night Football.

This was a gig that belonged to country star Hank Williams Jr. for the past 20 years, but ESPN parted ways with him after some pretty controversial political comments that he made on the show Fox and Friends.

Sanders will be taking over the reigns at least for this week, according to Nina Mandell of the New York Daily News:

"

Three days after Hank Williams Jr. parted ways with the network, Barry Sanders tweeted that he would be narrating the intro—at least this Monday.

"Okay, I admit it," he tweeted, "I will be at MNF this week and doing the intro."

A spokesman for the network said that Sanders' appearance was most likely a one-time thing.

"He is a HOF [HALL OF FAME] player who has spent his entire career with the Lions, a franchise that has not been on [Monday Night Football] since 2001," he wrote in an email.

The spokesman added that in future weeks this season the network will have different openings with different participants.

There have not been any decisions made beyond that, he added.

"

You know what that means, "There have not been any decisions made beyond that":

That means we get to speculate on who we'd love to see do the intro.

Here are three former NFL stars that we'd love to do the Monday Night Football intro:

Brett Favre

This is somewhat of a win-win situation. Favre get's the national attention he so desperately craves, and we get to be entertained by his shenanigans.

It would undoubtedly be entertaining, and he could even wear Wranglers. Win-win.

Deion Sanders

If you were able to tune into into Prime-Time's Hall of Fame induction speech than I have a feeling you would agree that Sanders would be an exceptional candidate to voice over the MNF intro.

Perhaps we could even try to get him to wear those little wings and fly around like in those NFL Sunday Ticket commercials.

Randy Moss

Moss has always been one to take the limelight when he could get it. He mooned the crowd at Lambeau, yelled about the catering in Minnesota, and now he can do the Monday Night Football intro.
