Are you ready with your rankings of the anthems to complete our annual tradition here on Grant and Danny? I am. All right, we'll go five to one then. I think that's the best way probably to do it. So, Darris, really quickly, if you would, just give us the first bar or so of each one, Danny, you can narrate through them. Yep. Which one's he's playing, but let's rock and roll. Fox tried and true. We know it Sunday, one o'clock, hopefully, Washington, probably losing. Special treat, little CBS. Hi, guys. What's up, James Brown, to Matt, the star. Good to talk to you, buddy. Most of the FC, but we're on there this year, a little bit more often. That's quality. Also, I slept on seeing like Bill Coward and Mike Tomlin. It's a very stealersy thing for me to the CBS anthem. Yeah. Special. It's Monday night, man. Only game in town, only game on television, the whole country's tuning in. Hopefully, they get better matchups than they have in the past. They got like third pick in the draft. It seems like for those games. And a lot of times we're left with duds, but still, more than a football, pretty special. Dude, his NBC. Look down upon your common folk. We dame to give you a telecast of your foosball. I got to tell you, I hate my ratings already. I did them in the break. I'm looking at them and just relisten everything. Like, if we did it again, jump on again in an hour, if we redid this, my rankings would completely change. But here we go. Number five, Danny Ruier. What do you got? We just played NBC. You're already, you lose so many points because there's a dumb song before that. It's 2024. We don't need an intro song to football. We've been waiting all day for Sunday night earlier today was the afternoon. Now there's a game and here it go. Boom. All the people are at the game. Everyone here should be filled with shame. Stop it. It's so stupid. People will be filled with shame. Stop singing songs. Stop singing. Stop coming up with stupid songs in a studio next to a green screen. That's the dumbest thing we do. Carrie Underwood guy over here. I like that song. NBC is fifth for me as well. I think it's getting a raw deal. No, I don't want to go full gylo here. Gylo tweeted us one of our buddies at Grand H. Paulson at funny day. And he said nothing beats the wardrobe and French horns of Sunday night football number one until the end of time. He's got it number one on his. Oh, that's only it's only number one on NBC on Sunday. Number four for me. This is where I start hating my list Monday night football. I've got Monday night football for you really on my list. I feel bad about that. Number four. Fox. I thought Fox was going to be one or two coming into this. It didn't hit me. It didn't catch me like it has in the past. I started to think about all the losses, man. All those years and the 2000s all the failure, right? It's so much Donovan McNabb just celebrating at my expense. Just so much nondescript quarterback from New York or garbage from Dallas beating the brakes off of me. No. Fox four. I still play this song on our Alexa in the kitchen and all my kids and I dance to it. Right. We love the Fox theme. I said, all my kids, like I have 11 kids. Yeah. Every single one of them, they come out of their respective hobbles and they're dancing. So we all dancing the kitchen and we play Fox on Sunday mornings and whatever. We'll do it throughout the off season. This was my ringtone on my phone high school. Such a good bet. It's third for me. It's third for me because it's a great song. They're just two songs that are that much better. Art lists are pretty similar, I'd say. Number three. CBS. I thought again, this was going to win. It got me, but not the same. I like CBS. In fact, I love CBS. It belongs in my heart, but it didn't win this year. Number three. Number two for me is NFL network. Yeah. That Christmas feel. Happy holidays. So good, man. Do I go Christmas shopping or do I just watch some football, which means number one for your boy again and still the defending champion, someone that I and Eagle and Charles Davis know somebody call up their boy, Jim Nance and Tony Romo. CBS is in the wind column. Number two for me and I found that work. Holidays, holiday theme, holiday shopping, holiday song. Let's all receive the gift. Number one, and I did not think this was going to be number one, but I heard it and I heard more in it this year than I ever have before. It struck a chord in the soul. You're doing a bit. I'm not Monday night football. I thought you were about to see Amazon prime. No, no, no, no. We're not there. We're not there. Monday night football. I go, wait a minute. What a special thing Monday night football is. And it just and it felt right. Even the Washington zone in seven trillion on the night football over the last couple of weeks, my years rather, but it feels good. One in a football. All right. CBS NFL Fox Monday night football NBC for your boy. Monday night football and a phone network CBS Fox NBC. Let's go rapid fire on the phone so we could squeeze in as many as possible. We'll start with DJ and rockville. What's up, DJ? Hey, how's it going fellas? I'm talking about call. You got it. I got to take it back in the day with you guys. The old school CBS, Pat Summerall, John Madden, pots and pans, steam, you got the camera panning over to RFK. That's about top number one. Darrick, see if you can find an old CBS intro from what it's been forever. It's pretty my time. So I'm thinking eight early eighties in the 80s because Madden and Summerall were on Fox calling Washington games. That's Summerall, John Madden. He's at the 10, the 20, 25 hour. I only think about him calling like four o'clock games on that old grocery palace. It's like Cowboys Cardinals NFC East. He's like, hey, man, to urban at the 30. Let's go to Shane and DC. What's up, bro? Shane, you there? You will get nothing. No, Shane, Jeff in Fredericksburg. Yeah, I'm going to go old school Monday night football theme. And the worst one is that Amazon stuff. Is that because it's new? It's new, Jeff. Huh? It's just because it's new, right? We're not used to it yet. No, no, that sounds like something you hear from the doctor's office when you find out you had zero polyps. Jeff, that's a good thing. Jeff, if you get an award for being the on the whole, like the the music closest to being on hold music, it is that it's it's it hits a little harder than that. It's not elevator music. You guys, it definitely hits harder. It's better than that. But it's the closest to that of all this man. They're not playing Fox NFL Sunday when you're on hold for those test results. It was getting hit. Danny and DC, you're on GND. Hello, Greg, Danny. How you guys doing today? Good, bro. I think the best one personally, I know this wasn't on your list, but it's when Chris Berman's doing the fastest three minutes or the NFL primetime theme. You know, I love that. We did. We both are in on that. Darris, you could you could throw that one back out there. I think primetime probably makes me as happy or happier than any of those other songs wasn't eligible, but just him and Tom Jackson going back and forth. Nothing better than that. Just so good. It's so good. This was the recap. What happened in the other games? I have to watch this show to find out in all of the games within the games, whether it was the nicknames for players. The Louisville bit was always my one seed where they would, you know, they'd pick a player.
