ESPN dropped Williams from MNF on Oct. 3 for making a statement comparing President Obama playing golf with House Speaker John Boehner to Hitler playing a round with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Williams is offering the song "Keep the Change" as a free download on his website. He's also scheduled to appear on The View and Hannity on Tuesday.
