Famous old guy Bret Musburger ogles Katherine Web on live TV. Because that’s not creepy at all?

Ick ick ick ick ick. ICK.

During live commentary of the BCS National Championship Game between Alabama and Notre Dame, 73-year-old ESPN commentator Brent Musburger took some time to drool over football player AJ McCarron’s 23-year-old girlfriend (and Miss Alabama) Katherine Webb.

According to Musburger’s wonky logic, McCarron earned a hot girlfriend by being really good at throwing a pointy ball around on a field.

In case you’re still wondering why people like myself find Musburger’s comments creepy, I’d now like to issue a friendly reminder that a) girls are not prizes that you win for being good at things and b) when you issue uninvited commentary on women’s looks or bodies, this is why we throw things at you.

Twitter user @CloudyJenn summed this up nicely here:
