Brent Musberger is just annoying, pardner

Brent Musberger, longtime (crappy) sports anchor and current ABC talking head, is just boring and annoying. And stupid. For those of you who hadn't heard, he got pulled over for having an open container in his rental car while driving in Lincoln after the NU/Pitt game. Don't blame him for drinking after the game, but it adds to the "mystic" (found a Brent Musberger drinking game you may want to check out...I hear its all the rage).
During the Ohio State/Notre Dame game tonight, Musberger and "pardner" Gary Danielson couldn't get over the fact that OSU linebacker AJ Hawk is dating ND quarterback Brady Quinn's sister. Yes, its a funny story. But not for well over 10 minutes of the game. The play-by-play became secondary as they milked this cute coincidence for all it was worth. To make matters worse, they had sideline reporter Jack Arute talk to her. Their interview ended with Jack saying that he would like to ask Miss Quinn out. She emphatically said no has the camera went back to the actual reason for their jobs: the game.
While I found the story interesting, I watch a football game to see and hear about the football action. I could watch E! or Hollywood Insider if I wanted to play the dating game. Mr. Musberger can barely call a football game, and tonight didn't help his reputation what so ever.
