“This open combines one of music’s biggest stars with one of the most dynamic actors in Hollywood,” said CBS Sports creative director Pete Radovich, who produced the opening. “The energy that both talents provide gives the opening to every Thursday night the big-game, primetime feel it deserves. It is a dream scenario for any director.”

Thursday Night Football kicks off Sept. 11 with the Pittsburgh Steelers vs. the Baltimore Ravens, and ends Week 16 with a double feature of Chargers/49ers, and Eagles/Redskins on Dec. 20.

I wonder with them have Rihanna’s part to Run This Town on Thursday night mean that she might be in the next performer for the next Superbowl?

 If she is I wonder what songs will she perform. Better yet when are we getting a new single from her. I don’t want a feature I need a new single. Sorry y’all I went on a little tangent. What do y’all think of Rihanna being a part of Thursday night football?
