Should Musburger apologize for calling someone good looking?
http://www.washingtonpost.com/sports...eb9_story.html
Anybody else hear of a case where apologies are necessary for a comment on a positive attribute (like beauty)? What's next - apologizing for calling someone "smart"?

It's completely ridiculous.
The game was such a blowout from the start ... what was there to talk about other than the pile of sh!t Pac 10 referees or players girlfriends? The Notre Dame linebacker Manti Teo -- his girlfriend got cancer and he stuck with her to the very day she died earlier in the year ... had he not played the worst game of his life and had his team not got plunger raped from the opening minute ... you would have heard endlessly about the dead girlfriend of the Notre Dame star player who he stuck by. Instead, Alabama won ... and the star qb for Alabama has a girlfriend who does this ....  If Brent Musburger was a black Jewish lesbian in a wheel-chair with a speech impediment... do you think anyone would have found his comments offensive?

It's nonsense, if Brent was half his age would anyone have said squat? But because he's pushing 80 suddenly he a "dirty old man" i guess. It's amazing what the media will blow way outta proportion, well no it's common place now!

If Musburger needs to apologize for anything, it's for foisting Mike Francesa on the public.
