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]
fake boobies!
— sgamble077- I bet Brent came.
- Ok, so MB was out of line, but ESPN continued to show her throughout the game??? How hypocritical.
- 20 days or 20 years from now, the only thing anyone will remember from that game is that sexy girl— Dutch10
- Seriously, ESPN is becoming just another politically correct sports station. I certainly hope NBC and CBS become a better organization then the mother ship— daytonhawk
- Musburger said nothing offensive; however, I knew right away that someone would be upset over his comments. Something's wrong when you cannot compliment a woman on her beauty...what has become of us?— dude
- Espn apologizing for what? PC gone crazy, that's why I don't watch ESPN anymore.— jimday
- In my opinion, Brett did nothing wrong. I am really disliking ESPN lately. They are getting way too big for their britches.Yes CBS and NBC have their sports stations now. Tune into their programs. ESPN is a real loser.

- The amount of apologizing for trivial nonsense is tiresome. She is very attractive and he made a joke about becoming a QB to get the hot girl. So what.— DEC
- These photos of her aren't helping ESPN's cause.— Phillies2008WSChamps
- ESPN was upset over the drool shorting out the microphone!— Eagle_1960
- I am fine with what Brent said. It was true. He held back imo. She is uber hot.— MDefl
- So now you can't even make a comment that implies how attractive a woman is. We've totally lost it.— fentonhardy
