We still don't know which NFL teams will be competing on Sunday nights in 2013, but we do know that they won't have singer Faith Hill introducing them. The Grammy-winning artist tweeted Monday that she will not be returning for a seventh season of NBC's Sunday Night Football.

Anyone who watched the NFL Network's Thursday Night Football broadcasts in 2012 saw what can happen if these opening montages go horrifically wrong. The abomination of Cee Lo Green turning the Ramones' Blitzkrieg Bop into "I Love Football" still makes me twitch. So it's important that the suits at NBC get it right when choosing Hill's replacement right.

Sunday Night Football producer Fred Gaudelli told Pro Football Talk that the Hill's theme song I've Been Waiting All Day for Sunday Night, an adaptation of Joan Jett's I Hate Myself For Loving You, will remain, with a new arrangement.

That's fine, but why not make it 17 new arrangements?

In the each season of HBO's The Wire and seasons two and three of Showtime's Weeds, each show's theme song was performed by different artists. Why not have a standard lyrical template (a few verses about Sunday Night Football, Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth) and then room to freelance on the specific teams) and give artists complete freedom to craft that week's theme song.

If Toby Keith wants to turn the theme song into a two-minute ballad about Tony Romo prior to a Redskins-Cowboys game, so be it. Then it's Snoop Dogg's (or perhaps his new reggae persona, Snoop Lion) turn to draft it into a hip-hop track for Steelers-Ravens the next week. It'll grab attention and viewers who can't stand certain artists aren't subjected to them each week. Ludacris could even do one week and do even more raps about Bob Costas.

Viewers could vote on which rendition is the best, with each week's version being sold on iTunes or elsewhere to benefit charity. Either way, it would be a much more exciting way to start the show than subjecting the audience to a weekly performance by the Black Eyed Peas or Train for four straight months.
