Sorry I didn't catch this story sooner so that I could have warned you to watch last night.
Oh well, better luck next time.
During last night's game between the Denver Broncos and the Pittsburgh Steelers, Faith Hill's debuted her newest Sunday Night Football intro.
Check it out below if you missed it on TV.
This is Faith's 6th season singing the opening song, Waiting All Day For Sunday Night.
For the fifth consecutive year, Faith Hill has stepped into her best leather outfit to add a little sexiness to football by singing Waiting All Day for Sunday Night, NBC's football opening song.
Check it out. It's not a very good quality video, but you get the idea.

Awww, tough break for Toby's pony, Sherriff Cogburn, who ran in today's $750,000 West Virginia Derby but unfortunately didn't win.
Don't feel too bad for the 3-year-old thoroughbred that's owned by Toby Keith, though, because despite coming in 3rd, he still won a respectable $75,000.
A pretty good payday if you ask me.
And a little note about the above picture. This is the absolute only picture I've been able to find of this horse. Holy crap. I searched and searched and searched and then it became like a challenge to dig up some picture of this darn horse. It was almost like the animal was in the witness protection program or something. Thank goodness for Sassnasty winning $4.40 last year from betting on Sherriff Cogburn and then putting the pictures on her Flickr account or we may never have known what this horse looked like.
I know I'm the only one who remotely cares about what this Cogburn looks like, but a challenge is a challenge no matter how silly it is.
There's video of today's race after the jump courtesy of ESPN (and yes, I'm aware that we can see what the horse looks like in the video).

It seems these days country artist's are everywhere, & the Super Bowl seems to be "cashing in" on this popular genre of music. So many stars, so many choices. Enjoy your Super Bowl Day...
Bud Light Hotel at the Super Bowl
Jack Ingram will be in Dallas celebrating the Super Bowl festivities. Sunday he'll be playing with Dierks Bentley at the Bud Light Hotel at the Aloft Hotel in downtown Dallas. And prior to that Jack made a video promoting Texas, for the department store H-E-B. The video will air as one of the local commercials during the game. The store is also offering a contest to win a trip to the ACM's in Las Vegas on April 3rd. http://heb.com/page/about-us/exclusive-heb-super-bowl-commercial
Westwood One, the Super Bowl radio network, will use a song by new Nashville artist Sean Patrick McGraw to kick off its game broadcast.
It’s called “Git Yer Cowboy On,” an appropriate song for an NFL championship event on tap at the Dallas Cowboys’ home stadium.
On Saturday Feb 5th Oklahoma artist Garth Brooks spent the day co-hosting the Old Spice Super Camp II near Dallas. This is a one-of-a-kind charity event that combines a youth football camp and cheerleading clinic with a VIP experience. Super Camp benefits the Jason Witten SCORE Foundation, the Garth Brooks Teammates for Kids Foundation and Kids 2Camp, and the Jason Taylor Foundation.

Keith Urban will perform during FOX Super Bowl Sunday before kickoff. CMT Crossroads: The Pretenders And Faith Hill Live from the Pepsi Super Bowl Fan Jam was held on Feb 5th which aired on CMT. Here are a few clips: http://www.cmt.com/videos/cmt-news/619090/cmt-web-buzzz-222011-faith-hill-and-the-pretenders.jhtml?id=1657164
Lady Andtebellum will also get recognition during Super Bowl. Two of their songs will be featured, one during the game itself and the other during a new episode of Glee. The song, ""Stars Tonight" from their second album release, will kick off the pre-game Westwood One radio coverage of the Super Bowl. A Version of "Need You Now" will be highlighted on Glee as part of a sports themed show.
In this world there are the sports nuts and the sports nots. Jason Aldean is definitely a member of the first category.
Jason recently chatted with ESPN about his love of the Georgia Bulldogs and tailgating. He says:
"Every Saturday, no matter what's going on, I have to be in front of the TV watching the Georgia football game," Aldean said. "So I have a TV my bus that pulls out, and has a big cooler behind it, so it's perfect to just sit out there and tailgate every weekend."
And just to prove the point that he takes his football serious, ESPN asked about which would be most important a Grammy or watching his beloved Bulldogs winning the BCS title?
"A Grammy would be pretty nice, but I'd probably have to take the national championship," he said. "I'd be cancelling shows to make sure I went to the game."
I guess that means that if you're buying Jason Aldean tickets it might be a good idea to keep an eye on the college football team standings or else you might find yourself holding tickets to a canceled concert.
Okay, Miranda's paddlefish she caught while spending a little time fishing recently in Oklahoma may not have outweighed Blake's record-breaking 40-pounder, but she's certainly got the more manly of the two proud angler pics.

Tim McGraw gets his game on by throwing out the first pitch Thursday at ONEOK Field in Oklahoma. Picture via Stephen Holman for Tulsa World.
Reader Jesse also sent along some personal pictures that she took. Thank you Jesse.
Bristol Motor Speedway in Bristol, TN. started using intro songs that the drivers picked to show a little bit of their personalities, sort of like they do when other sports teams take the field or boxers take the ring.
Well Blake Shelton, who is a huge Nascar fan and friend of quite a few drivers, got in on the action and gave ESPN his idea of which drivers should use which songs and why.
I'm not a race fan, but I'm sure those of you that are will get a kick out of the list.
Kurt Busch -- "Now Kurt's the oldest brother, right? I don't know why, but the theme song to the 'Brady Bunch' comes to mind. Is that weird?"
Mark Martin --"Easy one. 'Grandpa,' by the Judds."
Robby Gordon -- "'Some Beach,' by me because he wrecked me at Atlanta last weekend. I at least thought I could miss the first few laps and still see the car. Nope. At least he got me on TV."
Kasey Kahne --"Oh, man. He's pretty. He's the prettiest man I've ever seen. 'Dude (Looks Like A Lady),' by Aerosmith. Great driver. And he's really pretty. Really pretty."
Denny Hamlin --"Didn't he say something about his car recently, like his motor was bad or something? 'Piece Of S--- Car.' Adam Sandler."
Brad Keselowski -- "Is that guy OK? I thought Carl Edwards was the one that did the flipping. 'Ain't That A Kick In The Head,' by Dean Martin."
Tony Stewart --"'My Way,' by Frank Sinatra. He bought his own team, and he's doin' it."
Matt Kenseth -- "From what I hear, he's funny, but people think he's boring as hell. 'Personality,' by Lloyd Price."
Kyle Busch -- "'We're Not Gonna Take It,' by Twisted Sister. Because he just gets so pissed and doesn't do anything wrong ever. Ever."
Elliott Sadler -- "'Ol' Red.' He's in the video with me, and played the part of my inbred cousin. He was a natural."
Joey Logano -- "We'll go with another one of mine here: 'The Baby.' Does he shave yet?"
Jeff Gordon -- "'I Kissed A Girl,' by Katy Perry. I don't really know what made me think of that song. But I did. So there you go. Enough said."
Kevin Harvick -- "'Loser,' by Beck. Wait. … He's leading the points, isn't he? We'll keep it just for the irony."
Jeff Burton --"'Love Will Keep Us Together,' by Captain and Tennille. Y'all call him the Mayor, don't ya?"
Clint Bowyer -- "'Hillbilly Bone.' He does a race at his house every year called the Hillbilly 250. It works."
Jimmie Johnson -- "An old Mac Davis song works for him, called '[Oh] Lord It's Hard To Be Humble' when you're perfect in every way."
Scott Speed -- "'Karma Chameleon,' by Culture Club. We'll leave it at that."
Brian Vickers --"'Wanted Dead Or Alive,' by Bon Jovi. That's true, right?"
Dale Earnhardt Jr. -- "'The More I Drink, The More I Drink.' This is one of mine. He's having that kind of luck."
Carl Edwards -- "'I'm Too Sexy' for my shirt, by Right Said Fred. Enough said."
We've of course heard about Rascal Flatts' song Unstoppable being chosen as the Olympic theme song this year (People.com has the exclusive first look at the video here), but now comes word of another country group getting Olympified - or is that the Olympics getting countrified?
Gloriana has recorded a new song called The World is Ours Tonight which will be featured on the AT&T Team USA Soundtrack for the Winter Olympics. The soundtrack is available now for purchase on iTuneswith proceeds from the purchases through February 28th going to benefit Team USA.
Here's a fan made video of the song.
Update: Just found out that Sugarland also recorded a new song for the Team USA Soundtrack.
