Betty White's Monday Night Football Introduction (VIDEO)

Ever since "Monday Night Football" ousted Hank Williams Jr. from the show's opening segment following some inappropriate comments, producers have crafted unique introductions to each game. Previous intros included a heartfelt montage featuring Barry Sanders when MNF returned to Detroit for the first time in a long time. For the last Monday night game of the season, we were treated to a special holiday intro to the Saints-Falcons game featuring Betty White.

In what was titled "A White Christmas," the 89-year-old appeared in the opening segment and discussed how attractive the quarterbacks in the NFL are and explained what happened when she tried Tebowing.

"[Matt] Ryan's nickname is 'Matty Ice' because he's so cool," she said. "But I prefer 'Matty Steam' because he's so hot."

At the end of the intro, she just couldn't control her excitement, jumped out of her chair and screamed, "You can't stop the pain train! Woohoo!"

Uff... (for me), this was very disappointing, not even once mention was made of black men (or of any race other than Caucasian) in this video, not even once. Huh... talk about some "hidden (phobia) message." Grow a pair, America!

I just love football. I love those men in the field like soldiers on a battle. as what was said, the only existing event where bodies collide like that in ancient war is football. go soldiers! I love brees. I love brady. I love tebow. I love ryan. I love them all. I think I will marry one of them quite sooner than I thought.

Brilliant! ESPN scored a grand slam after canning what's-his-name. From crass to class. And Betty White is a national treasure.
