ESPN apologizes for Brent Musburger's comments about AJ McCarron's girlfriend
By now, Katherine Webb has surely swept every American off their feet. Miss Alabama USA 2012 was in the stands at Monday's BCS Championship game to cheer for her boyfriend, Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron. While Alabama was rolling Tide all over Notre Dame, Brent Musburger and the rest of the country took a second or 20 to relish in Webb's beauty. Musburger went as far as to suggest that Webb was reason enough for young men all over Alabama to seek out a life behind center. Now, ESPN is apologizing for the extent of Musburger's comments.
The ESPN statement reads: “We always try to capture interesting storylines and the relationship between an Auburn grad who is Miss Alabama and the current Alabama quarterback certainly met that test. However, we apologize that the commentary in this instance went too far and Brent understands that.” [John Ourand]
she's hot though— lefty1117- But she doesn't think evolution should be taught in schools, so... as long as she doesn't talk, all good.— azzuri
- azzurri has two R's, sport
— hannibal barca - Are they serious issuing an apology for those statements? Why did they show her if they weren't trying to elicit a reaction from someone? How hypocritical, unless they make the producer, director, camera person etc. all apologize too. Plus, she is smokin' hot. You'd have to be dead not to say something about her.— mk1956
- Man, you're exactly right. They dangle her like a piece of candy and then they want to crucify Brent for making an "off color" comment (which was actually pretty mild). Hypocritical is exactly what it is. — MartyT
- Auburn grad fraternizing with 'Bama guy? What would Charles Barkley say? Bobby Lee Hurt is long gone, but, really, I'd love to hear what Barkley would say.— HolidayinCambodia
- No need to apologize. They were light-hearted comments. The PC police must have been working OT last night.— Phillies2008WSChamps
- Musburger was right and his comments about her were clean. What's the problem?— mick1219
- HE'S HUMAN— Serge_Matthews
- wait, what? there was absolutely nothing wrong with what he said.— box297
- god. ESPN is unbearable with their manufactured controversies. nobody cares. calm down.— Ryan
- Reminds me of Chris Schenkle's, "Mamas, send your boys to Auburn" quote from back in the day.
Really? ESPN has the nerve to say someone went to far??? How about all the stupid coverage they had of some back-up QB in New York they continuously reported about- Yeah, but it's OK for ESPN's cameras to drool all over her all night long...— Bobby G
- Further proof that espn is a joke. Can someone please start another all sports network please.— Matt from Iowa
