If anything, Musburger was just pointing out the obvious: Miss Alabama/model Katherine Webb IS really beautiful. I know it, you know it, the American people now know it ... to use an old Bob Dole expression.
Like Dole, ol' Brent is getting up there a bit in years, at 73, so perhaps he's not as guarded with his words as he once was.

"Wow, I'm telling you quarterbacks: You get all the good-looking women," he said, going on to say youngsters should take up the position so they would be, ahem, as equally as blessed as McCarron.
Webb was wise to be gracious about the attention, as it pushed her twitter total into the stratosphere and could provide a boost to her career.
"It was kind of nice," she told AP. "I didn't look at it as creepy at all. For a woman to be called beautiful, I don't see how that's an issue."
ESPN tread carefully in issuing the following statement:
"We always try to capture interesting storylines and the relationship between an Auburn grad who is Miss Alabama and the current Alabama quarterback certainly met that test. However, we apologize that the commentary in this instance went too far and Brent understands that."
Less is more, which Musburger should understand at this point in his career.
