Chris Stapleton’s cover of ‘In The Air Tonight’ for Monday Night Football will give us goosebumps all year

Chris Stapleton Football Snoop Dogg Phil Collins ESPN

ESPN already revamped its announcing booth for Monday Night Football by hiring the colorful Joe Buck and Troy Aikman. Now, the weekly presentation is about to get a lot better — thanks to the musical stylings of Chris Stapleton, Snoop Dogg, and famed drummer Cindy Blackman.

On Monday, ESPN revealed a teaser for a new Monday Night Football theme song. It features the Grammy-winning Stapleton and Co. jamming out with a cover for Phil Collins’ famed “In The Air Tonight.”

Some quick thoughts:

  1. That is a perfect song for a night football game. No notes.
  2. This trio absolutely crushed it. I now want to mysteriously watch a Monday night game just by listening to it. Once again, no notes.

If this fantastic theme is part of ESPN’s approach to make Monday fall nights a flagship event again, then they’re passing with flying colors.

This is how Twitter reacted to the new Monday Night Football theme song
