Faith Hill: The New Voice Of The NFL

There’s always that familiar song at the beginning of football broadcasts that signifies the impending clash of two teams. And this year, that song will be sung by none other than country hottie Faith Hill.

The NBC Sunday Night Football song, “Waiting All Day for Sunday Night” was Pink’s gig last season. And Faith is thrilled to be taking over the crooning duties for this upcoming year.

She told press, “I’m honored to have been asked. I truly am a football fan. Particularly, men find it hard to believe that women can be big fans of football, but I love it. I loved it in junior high and high school, but being married to a man who schedules his life around football games, it makes it a lot easier.”

And her new gig has the This Kiss singer feeling grateful that football is a family tradition. “Around our house in football season there’s a big routine. Dinner has to be planned out around the game, homework has to be finished. It’s an all-gather-around the television time. I’ve learned when to ask questions and when not to ask them - like in the middle of a replay.”

You can also catch Faith performing live in Indianapolis on September 6th during the season-opening Colts/Saints game.
