Even a toned-down comment about attractive females at a sporting event doesn't make Brent Musburger less creepy.
Diehardsport.com posted a YouTube video of Musburger commenting on three female Iowa State fans taking a selfie during the Big 12 championship game against Kansas on Saturday night. The comment comes just more than a year after his over-the-top comments about Katherine Webb, girlfriend of then-Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback A.J. McCarron during the 2013 college football National Championship Game.
During the Big 12 tournament on Saturday night, Musburger couldn't control himself:
"I am pleased with this selection, oh yeah," Musburger said. "Why not, a selfie? The fans of Iowa State, the sixth man of the game."
He stopped there, but he should've known not to say anything to evoke memories of his national championship game comments for which ESPN later apologized.
In that game, a cameraman found Webb with McCarron's mother, Dee Dee Bonner. Musburger barely introduced Bonner and then made the rest of the time of the interview on Webb's beauty.
"Wow, I'm telling you, you quarterbacks get all the good looking women. What a beautiful woman, whoa!" Musburger fawned as ESPN cameras showed McCarron's girlfriend in the stands. "If you're a youngster in Alabama, start getting the football out and throw it around the backyard with pops."
Even if Musburger restrained himself somewhat in the Iowa State-Kansas State game, the camera operation could stand to get a reprimand, if not a pink slip, for showing the female fans and putting Musburger in a situation where he felt he had to make a comment.
