Have you heard about the fuss over ESPN apologizing for Brent Musburger’s comments about Alabama quarterback A.J. McCarron’s girlfriend Katherine Webb on Monday night’s BCS game telecast?:
Musburger created the most interesting moment of the blowout between Alabama and Notre Dame when the ESPN cameras found Webb, who is Miss Alabama and Crimson Tide quarterback A.J. McCarron’s girlfriend, and McCarron’s mother. Musburger, 73, commented about Webb’s beauty and joked that boys in Alabama should throw the football around with their fathers because quarterbacks get all the beautiful women.
My God, the day America stops appreciating beautiful women is the day I get off the subway. I mean, for God’s sake – and I’m speaking a married man here – what the hell is wrong with commenting about a girl’s looks? This, BTW, from a cable channel that rarely omits images of attractive college cheerleaders as they go to break!
Look, I understand not every girl is beautiful, just as not every guy is handsome (I’m one of them). But the day we stop appreciating a person’s looks and how they present themselves (without being vulgar about it, of course) is the day America dies. Why do guys go to Vegas? Why do girls go to Vegas? Because the beautiful people are there! Why do only good looking girls become cheerleaders? Why do quarterbacks get all the cute chicks? It’s the way of the world. Not every girl is destined for cheerleader or prom queen, just like every guy isn’t destined to be surrounded by cute chicks.
Fortunately, as people grow older, the priorities of both guys and girls tend to be less superficial. But until then, who cares? I’m sick of people being offended for the most stupid things in the world.
This country is going down the freakin’ tubes.
Speaking solely as a guy – and if you girls don’t like it, too bad – I’m attracted to cute chicks. In Vegas, the Goodboys try to hang around with cute chicks as much as we can. Sure beats hanging around with ugly ones, that’s for sure. And what constitutes for attractive or ugly, anyways? Isn’t beauty in the eye of the beholder?
If you girls can’t handle that, you’ve come to the wrong place.
Good post Shank.
Have fun in Vegas

The star quarterback has a gorgeous girlfriend? That never happens.

Exactly, Rob. Yeah, that’s something to get everyone pissed off at.
But don’t worry, some advocacy group will depend the federal government guarantee a cute check for every guy – and vice versa – so that no one gets offended or feels bad or left out.
Of course, Rob and I are already taken care of in that regard. 🙂
Cubby’s got his work cut out for him.
