Underwood, born and raised in Checotah, is the new crooner on Sundays for NBC’s NFL football. You know the tune. The catchy bit just before the muscled-up men hit the field.
Ball tune notables include legend Hank Williams Jr., who sang the Monday Night Football theme song for years. Also, Pink tried her vocals for a while on Sunday Night Football, before passing the rite to Faith Hill, where she reigned as pre-game queen for six years.
