I thought it was slightly inappropriate, but in a funny way.

I don't know if I've seen anybody who is really upset about it.

I didn't find anything he said even slightly inappropriate. He said his girlfriend was attractive. He said that it was good to be a quarterback and advised all the young men in Alabama to pick up a football and start throwing. He said nothing sexual, nor did he talk about any specific body parts. Somebody please tell me what he said that was offensive.

as she said herself....if he used the word "hot" or "sexy" (even though most were thinkin that) it would have been inappropriate
it's sad how easily offended society gets these days.........buncha pansies

funny, it was also kind of creepy. Imagine a 70 year-old female announcer slobbering over some 20 year-old boyfriend of some other person she hadn't met.

The thing is, he wasn't slobbering over her. Nothing he said was even close to inappropriate. IMO, the outrage should be directed at ESPN for issuing an apology.

The "apology" intimates that someone has done something wrong. What was done that was wrong? Nothing that I could see,... so why suggest that something was done wrong by apologizing?
Has politically correctness has gotten to the point that no one can even make a complement of someone else?

over backwards to make sure that hot chick is not offended, and apologizing for nothing, and meanwhile they were the ones obviously aware of what was happening and kept putting the camera on her. So either at the time they didn't think much of it, or they wanted to see how far it could go......it would've taken one commerical break for somebody to get word to Brent to cool it.

...the network and the production truck. The producer in the truck is the one cutting back to the young lady again and again.
It reminds me of the Army-Navy game this year where they cut to the Army QB more than twenty times in the last few minutes of broadcast, including a slow-motion replay.

on TV complaining about it were noticeably less attractive.
Also, the girl--the only one who I think would have the right to be offended--was not.
Non issue.

to live for was offended. Everyone else chuckled. Furthermore, he didn't even say anything inappropriate. At all. He said a woman was attractive and her boyfriend was a lucky guy. That's all.

unlike a thread i saw earlier this week (which had me rolling on the floor) that was entitled "in front of my mother, i would". then some stated, in front of my wife, with my wife... so on and so forth.
THAT THREAD was inappropriate, and i laughed my ### off, which is why i love TNet!

My dad, who's roughly the same age as Brent, says stuff like that all the time. He doesn't mean anything by it but it still comes off as awkward and uncomfortable. I don't go slamming him on Twitter for it, though. I just call him an old fogey with a language filtering issue.

ESPN profitting off of this young lady with out her consent. Did she sign a release? No. Did they even contact her prior? No.
Show the QB's girlfriend once? Fine. Twice? Still not that big a deal.
But spend a significant about of air time with her on screen, talking about how attractive she is? Inappropriate IMO. They created buzz and probably more viewers by making a scene on of someone's gf.
Now its a "talking point" and they're continuing to exploit it for viewers because its controversial
