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]
that fact that she eas even on camera during a football game was "too far"— psualum- so sick of espn— psualum
- fake ones feel weird!— sgamble077
- Dirty old man— Jay Grace 69
- But no apology for his racist comment about Monty Ball the week before?
— tdoc - If I had to choose which sense to lose last, it would be the ability to see.— Atomic Fury
- The media is so phoney. A guy makes an innocent comment that shows a trace of personality in what has been a glorious career and he's thrown under the bus by a bunch of pansies. She's pretty. Nobody said she couldn't be President some day run a Corporation. Just wow gorgeous and boy wouldn't everybody like to be a QB. Let's just get rid of Apple Pie too because it's an icon that may just be outdated.— mlogan49
- mlogan49 you are 100% correct with your comments. This is why there is NO freedom of the press.Everything now has to be politically correct. Who is determining what's politically correct? It's certainly not me!— Johnnyboyl
- My God how ridiculous. Musberger did nothing wrong. What the hell is wrong with our society?— r white
- My normally sensitive wife is NOT OFFENDED at all by what Brent said. ESPN carries PC to a ridiculous extreme.— BigMike100
- I've never liked Musberger as an announcer, going back to his time on "NFL Today on CBS" back in the 70s with Irv Cross and Phyllis George.
But I can't believe this issue with his comments. Has it come to the point where a heterosexual male can't comment on an obviously beautiful woman? What a joke ESPN has become— Polecat_39 - Brent just said what everyone was thinking. This is a non-event.— richojr
- She is a model! Get it? Look at the pic next to Brent? That is what she does so people say how hot she is. Good GOD this PC shyte is too much man....— foment3
- Wow-I have a fan/stalker. And he/she is a far left loon. That makes it even better.— Phillies2008WSChamps
- Apologize for what??? I really don't get all the uproar over either of them. Sure she's hot, but it's not like Musberger was up in the booth spotting unicorns...— Brian F.
