Source, please read before voting!

For those who don't want to read the article, basically, there was a spot in the BCS National Championship game where ESPN play-by-play man Brent Musberger called A.J. McCarron's girlfriend (who they showed in the stands while this was going on) a "lovely lady" and "beautiful". There are some people out there that found offense to this ("A 79-year old calling a 20-something year old 'beautiful' and 'lovely'? Creep!"), and ESPN later apologized for that incident.

So, the question is, was Musberger out of line with his comments? I personally say no. What do you think?

What! That makes no sense, I mean sure it seems creepy, but don't most adults say that when their son or daughter meets up with someone who is a fit for them? I don't see a problem with it.

I think that was fine. I don't think it matters what he thinks. Grandparents always call young people beautiful or attractive.

OK, this is totally not offensive at all. As if everyone watching wasn't thinking the exact same thing when they saw her (which, according to that first video, everyone was!).

Are you saying it's wrong to talk to a bag of Skittles? Because if so, I'm going to need to rethink a lot of things. :P

Yes, complimenting anyone under any circumstances is completely inexcusable...

No, no! It's not time!

I remember, that ruckus started up when I had just joined the forum.

Hey man, Justin Bieber is one tough Mofo nowadays.

If he even looked at that girl, I'm sure he'd be arrested for sexual harassment. He is one threatening SOB.
