ESPN's awkward moment with A.J. McCarron's girlfriend

[QuantumMechanic]

Sweet home Alabama!!

 

[Kontradiction]

It is not appropriate because it isn't a couple of guys sitting on the couch saying holy **** she is hot. It is a sports caster talking to millions of people, men, women, and children, and going on and on about just how hot she is. I don't care about how old he is or how young she is, he just went beyond what is professional. It didn't offend me, it did, however make me chuckle when he did it.

You're acting as if Musberger sat back and said something to the tune of, "damn look those tits! I'd **** the **** out of her". As I recall, he said she was beautiful. What's so wrong with kids hearing a guy calling a beautiful woman beautiful?

ESPN apologizes? Wow. How they operate as an organization and this is what they feel the need to apologize for?
Just what is needed in the public arena, more people on TV censoring themselves at a higher level due to the PC police. Outstanding!

Ok George Carlin

d%#*!@t, you beat me to it.

 

[fnordcircle]

Man, people get outraged by the most ******ed ****.

What's most idiotic about this **** is that we all know she's attractive but for some reason saying it, even in the most benign terms, warranted an apology from a network that never apologized for the remake of V.

I think the funniest thing for me was I was watching the game with my wife in the room and when they kept showing McCarron's girlfriend my wife said to me "she's not that good looking".

Now that's an awkward moment.

The fact that Musburgers about 70 years old and she's only 20 is a little disturbing.

We all know that at 30 we should go to carousel.
Oh, wait, Logan's Run is not well known enough to reference.

After 40 all men should be castrated.

 

[nabwong]

A man says a woman is beautiful; why the big commotion and need for apology? Such a politically correct society we live in. I think the funniest thing for me was I was watching the game with my wife in the room and when they kept showing McCarron's girlfriend my wife said to me "she's not that good looking".

I might be in the minority but I don't really find her attractive. There's something about her that reminds me of RuPaul.

hmmmmm...I think I see your point...

Word. the original V was the tits.

Well if it was not out of the ordinary why was the story shown in all the local morning news today? Dont people like Jay leno and Conan go overboard when telling a lady how good she looks on the show? they do but does it make the news? no? because that sort of a thing is normal for the talk shows not for a live game on ESPN.

Is it considered normal if lets say Gruden starts talking about a hot cheerleader during a game and talks for about 2-3 minutes while using superlatives to describe her body?

Two- three minutes means he's talking over Tirico trying to do play by play. What was that 5, 10 seconds? And the way it was worded it could be about him Mom - and yes that is waaaaaaay more creepy.

The eyes and the thighs

She does have a little of the crazy stalker ex-girlfriend look about her. They're a lot of fun... until they're not fun anymore.

Whichever way it's spun, this whole story is a story about nothing. I'm still waiting for those ****s to apologise for derailing the Patriots SB42 preparations.

Yeah. I don't hate attractive women. And I don't preemptively dislike modelesque women because they're out of my league or something.

I just fine a real woman more attractive.

Case in point:

Yeah I'm a nerd but she was ******* adorable in a way that some walking photoshop armcandy will never be.

The fact that Musburgers about 70 years old and she's only 20 is a little disturbing.

People keep repeating this "disturbing" theme but they never quite explain what is disturbing them.

Is there like a rule that says an old guy can't appreciate a young woman's beauty? Who the hell made that rule up? Sounds like a clause in Obamacare.

 

[Joker]

I dated someone much younger than I am....it was great but in the end, it failed...she was too easily led....

 

[DocHoliday]

I dated someone much younger than I am....it was great but in the end, it failed...she was too easily led....

She just loved it when yewe told her what to dewe.

 

[Joker]

yeah...it was sad though...my ex took it hard and really let herself go when she found out Baaabra and I were dating...

 

[RayClay]

If anyon eremembers Musburger calling basketball games, he always went on too long. When the 24 second clock was about to run out, he used to say 4 on the clock, 3 on the clock etc. even after the ball left the shooters hand. Of course it counts as long as it leaves the hand before the clock runs out.

He's an idiot, in other words.

Anyone remember this? it was blatant stupidity.

 

[RayClay]

Gawd bless him for still being horny, though. You can't really get creepy at seventy, you already are.
