ESPN, Brent Musburger, and
the Idiocy of Political Correctness

Breitbart's Sports, by Ron Futrell

Original Article

Posted By:KarenJ1, 1/12/2013 12:29:05 PM

The media never disappoints with its asinine twisting and turning to ensure political correctness. You can no longer say a beautiful woman is beautiful during the broadcast of a live sporting event. ESPN has issued an apology for their play-by-play guy, Brent Musburger, saying that Katherine Webb, Miss Alabama, was a "lovely lady." Webb is the girlfriend of AJ McCarron, the ´Bama quarterback who was out there on the field winning the national championship in college football while Musburger was making his horribly politically incorrect statements. Musburger also encouraged young athletes to

Comments:
What he said was no big deal. Get over it. And yet the vile jerks at MessNBC say offensive, racist, vulgar things every day and they are never critized or punished.

The only reason I clicked on the story was to see her picture again.

Yet, the littlest moron, Mike Lupica, offends on a weekly basis, almost as if he has tenure at ESPN, or maybe, based on his size, he is a protected species.

Probably a few feminists and/or unattractive women called to complain about favorable things being said about a pretty girl. Female jealously is fairly widespread.

The game was a dud, so the camera went looking for something interesting. The guy on mic has to say something or else there is dead air, there was absolutely nothing wrong with what he came up with on the spot.

Sane people need to start telling the whiners to shut up.

Me too #1. I just made her picture my desktop background.


Reply 6 - Posted by: revdeppisch316, 1/12/2013 1:10:00 PM     (No. 9112792)

What if she´d been butt ugly and Brent called her a broad with a face that would make a train take a dirt road?


Reply 7 - Posted by: Pearson365, 1/12/2013 1:12:06 PM     (No. 9112794)

Camera close ups of girlfriends will go the way of cheerleaders, to be seen only in background as networks focus on horribly tattooed, Rastafarian coiffed psychotics dancing about after hitting a QB.

NFL and college football is increasingly similar to watching the Bloods Vs Crips in a prison pick-up game. Perhaps the NCAA´s ironically named Diversity Office should be more concerned with gang attire than banning Indian mascots.

Thank you #1. My vote for the best and funniest post of the day.

Obviously, Brent prefers girls. Not sure about the rest of ESPN.

Brent is old enough to be her granpdpa! I thought it was creepy. . .

Stating the obvious fact that a woman is "gorgeous" is not creepy no matter what a mans age is.


Reply 12 - Posted by: TXknitter, 1/12/2013 1:56:29 PM     (No. 9112870)

#1, I am still laughing. This lady IS outstandingly gorgeous. A red-blooded American man merely said what everyone else watching was thinking - especially the fellows! The lady, BTW, was gracious and appreciated the compliment. So, what is the problem.

Musburger ´s comments were offensive,(?) but Kathy Griffen simulating oral sex on Anderson Cooper is cool. And don´t forget our dear leader referred to tea partiers as teabaggers. Yes he did. The left is incredibly low class and vulgar. My question to the people who found it "creepy " please give me cutoff age when men should stop admiring pretty women. 50, 60, 70? Just wondering.


Reply 14 - Posted by: BigCreek, 1/12/2013 2:34:46 PM     (No. 9112925)

Brent Musburger is a pig. I sat next to him on a flight to White Plains, NY and was appalled at what an arrogant, pompous jerk he is. I "accidentally" spilled beer all over him. It was a tremendous feeling to know I was able to douse the swine with swill!


Reply 15 - Posted by: Udanja99, 1/12/2013 3:06:25 PM     (No. 9112984)

Katherine Webb has already issued a statement saying that she was flattered. She also asked, "What woman wouldn´t want to be told that she´s beautiful?" Only ugly women would be offended by that.


Reply 16 - Posted by: ROLFnader, 1/12/2013 3:09:41 PM     (No. 9112989)

These politically correct pukes in the front office at ESPN will never be heard complaining about the language and sexual innuendo of the average broadcast tv sitcom. I´m no prude but I can´t believe how raunchy shows such as " Modern Family" get away with it. We´re probably only a couple of years away from prime-time frontal nudity but Brent needs to do time somewhere getting his mind right?


Reply 17 - Posted by: bighambone, 1/12/2013 3:11:05 PM     (No. 9112993)

Old Brent is a hyper opinionated over the top kind of personality who nobody we know can stand while trying to watch a sports presentation.

The lady here is Miss Alabama, has anyone ever seen a Miss Alabama who was not right up there around #10?

The feminist leader from the 1970s, Karen DeCrow, used to complain bitterly that employers were hiring women as receptionists who were pretty.
Imagine that!
Miss Alabama is a beautiful young woman, who might want to cut back a bit on the makeup.

The woman is beautiful; I love the picture with the teen age boy eyeing her. How many of the men on this site were jealous of the young man? All of them!!!

The LGBT will be boycotting ESPN because they didn´t receive equal time during the game.

It was funny and he seemed dsperate, not offensive. She was a beauty queen, that is what she wants. Plus, ND decided not to tackle, so we had to watch something.


Reply 21 - Posted by: tommyr, 1/12/2013 4:11:13 PM     (No. 9113080)

Just how many times was the beautiful lady shown? I can understand a couple but the multiple shots were overdone--not Musbergers fault but somebody in the directors seat.


Reply 22 - Posted by: jetsman, 1/12/2013 5:11:43 PM     (No. 9113156)

I think Brent upset one of the thillies in
control room of E.S.P.N. and so the little thilly got his panties all in a bunch and made Brent apologize for being a man and complimenting a woman on her beauty!!
What a bunch of GUTLESS COWARDS E.S.P.N. has
running the show, maybe if Brent commented on how cute the quarterback was the thilly in
the control room may have been happy because
Brent was sooooo politically correct!!

Brent Musburger is the worst announcer at the network that´s corner the market on awful announcers. But this is real no big deal.

It was creepy. Yes, she is beautiful, but he seemed to need a cold shower. He singled out a woman among all the others there and let drool hang out his mouth. euuwwwwww

The revelation that the government’s talking points in the wake of the Benghazi attacks were edited to reflect the concerns of a variety of federal agencies has sparked a firestorm of controversy in recent weeks. Some early reports on that email exchange created the erroneous impression that the White House was more deferential to the concerns of State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland, who sought to remove from those talking points a variety of references suggesting the Benghazi attack was the result of a coordinated act of terror. The actual interagency email exchange, released by the Obama administration on Wednesday,

DENVER — Colorado sheriffs upset with gun restrictions adopted in the aftermath of last year’s mass shootings filed a federal lawsuit Friday, challenging the regulations as unconstitutional. The lawsuit involves sheriffs from 54 of Colorado’s 64 counties, most representing rural, gun-friendly areas of the state. The sheriffs say the new state laws violate Second Amendment protections that guarantee the right to keep and bear arms. Opponents are criticizing the lawsuit as political maneuvering. The filing targets Colorado laws that limit the size of ammunition magazines and expand background checks. The regulations

WASHINGTON – Jay Devereaux hadn’t paid much attention to the daily drumbeat of partisan politics in D.C. He wasn’t a Washington nerd, and didn’t know who said what during congressional hearings -- nor did he care. But when news broke that the government was using taxpayer money to bail out Wall Street banks, he started paying attention and didn’t like what he was hearing. So the Florida father and information technology specialist decided to form a group, Unite in Action, to educate people in his area about the issues, he said.

First Lady Michelle Obama has expanded her anti-obesity campaign to museums, enlisting them to offer “healthy food options,” and change their menus. Mrs. Obama’s “Let’s Move!” initiative is now calling for museums, zoos, gardens, science and technology centers to “join the call to action,” to decrease obesity among children. The first lady is recruiting these institutions to join the “Let’s Move! Museums and Gardens” project because of their power to “influence real and sustained behavior change” on the eating habits of kids. “With their impressive reach and great potential for impact, museums and gardens can launch community

During a House Ways and Means Committee hearing today, Rep. Aaron Schock, R-Ill., grilled outgoing IRS commissioner Steven Miller about the IRS targeting a pro-life group in Iowa. "Their question, specifically asked from the IRS to the Coalition for Life of Iowa: ‘Please detail the content of the members of your organization’s prayers,’" Schock declared. “Would that be an inappropriate question to a 501 c3 applicant?” asked Schock. “The content of one’s prayers?” “It pains me to say I can’t speak to that one either,” Miller replied. After Schock pressed him further, Miller explained that although

WASHINGTON — Congressional Republicans, not resting with the Internal Revenue Service scandal, are moving to broaden the matter to an array of tax malfeasances and “intimidation tactics” they hope will ensnare the White House. Republican charges range from the clearly questionable to the seemingly specious, and they grow by the day. On Friday, lawmakers sought to tie the I.R.S. matter to the implementation of President Obama’s health care law, which will rely heavily on the agency. Whether they succeed holds significant ramifications for Mr. Obama,

HHS:´Telework´ Gives Gov´t

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says it wants as many as 20 percent of its workers to "telework," use an "alternative work schedule," or do both, in order to "reduce green house gas emissions," decrease "employee stress," and give these government workers more time for "planning and preparing healthy meals." So says one of the HHS "performance measures" detailed in an appendix to the department´s latest strategic plan. HHS´s performance measure "4.D.05" says: "Increase the percent employees on telework or on Alternative Work Schedule." Telework means working from home via phone and computer.

What did President Obama do on the evening of 9/11/12 when our men were under attack in Benghazi? The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight. This morning when Wallace asked Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer what Obama was up to that evening, Pfeiffer declared the line of inquiry “offensive.” Translation: Obama and his minions would prefer to “move on” and are warning the likes of FNC off:(Snip for video)The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper has posted the rush transcript

WASHINGTON - There were new questions Saturday night concerning if anyone in the White House was aware of the IRS´ targeting of conservative groups. Inspector General Russell George said he informed a deputy at the Treasury Department in June of 2012 about the probe into the IRS. The Treasury Department confirmed the timeline but said they did not know the details of the investigation until last week.(Snip)Marcus Owens ran the tax-exempt division at the IRS for 10 years. He said it isn´t difficult to figure out who´s doing what at the agency.

It began in earnest last Friday. A flash mob of latte drinking, tofu eating media that has done its best to quell, rather than fan the flames of truth, turned on one of their own. Jay Carney lay bludgeoned at the base of the podium, a victim of friendly fire. Ironically, the attack was reminiscent of the one in Benghazi he has repeatedly denied the Administration he represents bears any responsibility for. “Changed twelve times?!” came the cries. And with good reason. We were misled; no, lied to.

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Friday urged congressional leaders to raise the debt limit and insisted that the White House is not going to negotiate over the increase because lawmakers have "no choice." "We will not negotiate over the debt limit," Lew wrote. "The creditworthiness of the United States is non-negotiable. The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate." Lew said that while President Obama is willing to discuss plans to reduce the nation´s deficit with Congress, those talks must be kept separate from any effort to raise the nation´s debt cap.

Washington – Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-MO, issued a video statement Friday in response to reports that the Internal Revenue Service unfairly targeted conservative nonprofit groups.

We apply the law equally.” “We should not only fire the head of the IRS, which has occurred, but we’ve got to go down the line and find every single person who had anything to do with this and make sure
