Hank Williams Jr. apologized Tuesday for comparing President Barack Obama to Adolf Hitler, a remark that prompted controversy and resulted in "Monday Night Football" pulling his popular musical introduction from this week's game. On Facebook and on his own website, Bocephus wrote "my analogy was extreme -- but it was to make a point. I have always been very passionate about politics and sports and this time it got the best or worst of me." ESPN pulled his "Are You Ready for Some Football?" musical recording that opens "Monday Night Football." No word from ESPN on whether they will reinstate the opening song this Monday night.
