The NFL no longer 'rocks on NBC' without Joan Jett

Joan Jett will no longer get those sweet royalty checks from NBC, and the NFL won't rock as much on NBC without her. No matter which team wins on "Sunday Night Football" going forward, we all lose.

The network on Monday announced it is replacing its now-iconic 'SNF' theme song — the Jett-inspired "Waiting All Day For Sunday Night" — with the Carrie Underwood-inspired "Oh, Sunday Night."

Beyond the name sounding like a bad mashup of a Christmas carol and a Four Seasons disco hit, it means we won't be reminded of Jett's "I Hate Myself For Loving You" every time we watch football on Sunday night.
