This year, "Monday Night Football" will be premiering new songs from a handful of big-name artists. ESPN premiered Jay-Z's "Show Me What You Got" video during halftime of a "Monday Night Football" game last October. The network received a positive response, and decided to continue the trend this season.

 

Things got underway last night, as Kanye West's "Stronger" and "Good Life" were played during the Bengals-Ravens game.

 

Eddie Vedder's "Hard Sun" and "Rise" -- both from the Into The Wild soundtrack -- will play during the September 17th Eagles-Redskins game.

 

On September 24th, when the Titans face the Saints, ESPN will play the Foo Fighters songs "The Pretender" and "Come Alive."

 

Matchbox 20's "How Far We've Come" and "I'll Believe You When" will be played during the October 1st Patriots-Bengals game.

 

And finally, Kid Rock's "So Hott" and "Rock N Roll Jesus" will air during the October 8th Cowboys-Bills game.

 

These dates coincide with the artists' album releases, making it a pretty good deal for everyone involved.
