Tim McGraw Highlights ABC's NFL 'Monday Night Football' in TV GUIDE

NASHVILLE, TN. – Tim McGraw is featured in the current issue of TV GUIDE Magazine in the Insider column. In his own words, McGraw describes his weekly effort to record new football lyrics to his song 'I Like It, I Love It' for ABC's NFL 'Monday Night Football' musical halftime highlights.

'Every Monday morning I go into a studio near my home in Nashville to sing that week's lyrics,' says McGraw. 'I've learned that football words and country music weren't meant to go together. It's not easy to find words that rhyme with Urlacher or to make lines like ‘now the Colts have a dominant D' sound natural. This job has changed how I watch games on Sundays. When I see a guy with a tough name, I'm worried he may have a good game. So I hope I never have to see Green Bay's Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila have a big day.'
McGraw will record the halftime highlights throughout the NFL season.
