Katherine Webb Went on “Today” Show, “Flattered” by Brent Musburger [Video]
Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
Katherine Webb was on Today today this morning. You may have heard of her. She dates Alabama quarterback A.J. McCarron. On Monday night she got super famous when Brent Musburger said that she was really pretty on national television.
Matt Lauer interviewed Webb about her newfound stardom, and the 23-year-old said she was not bothered by Musburger’s comments and that the media has been unfair to him. In fact, she and was kind of flattered and ESPN’s apology was unnecessary.
There’s Team Musburger, and then the group of folks who aren’t fans, and might be holding his career low point from 1968 against him five decades later.
Webb’s internet stock is soaring, and here are a few links about her today:
* Donald Trump wants to meet Webb and McCarron. Also, McCarron really wants to play for the Dallas Cowboys.
* McCarron and Webb met on twitter. They followed one another, then began texting.
* This New York Times piece on the Musburger moment is hilarious on multiple levels. Clay Travis has trashed it.

she needs to lose about 25 lbs, a boob job and to get a personality.
January 9th, 2013 at 12:06 PM
She is outstanding. Conversely, it doesn’t get any worse than Matt Lauer.
January 9th, 2013 at 12:06 PM
I’d like to see her in her natural habitat. Day-to-day looks/manners/attitude matter soooo much more than these dog and pony show interviews.
January 9th, 2013 at 12:06 PM
Also, she sounds like she’s worked on getting rid of her southern accent. Bigtime kudos. Those are the worst.
January 9th, 2013 at 12:06 PM
You can’t see her elbows in that interview, the jury is still out.

January 9th, 2013 at 12:09 PM
I’m glad everyone got offended for her. Wasn’t that one of the things mentioned in the “Things White People Like” book? White people love to be offended even if they weren’t the ones insulted.
January 9th, 2013 at 12:10 PM
I have to disagree.

She looks funny when she tries to smile. Like it pains her.
January 9th, 2013 at 12:12 PM
Was anyone actually offended? Internet shit-stirrers and ESPN PR division aside
January 9th, 2013 at 12:12 PM
I’m a fan of the southern accent personally. Obviously not the exaggerated one, but nothing wrong with a couple drawn out phrases and words.
January 9th, 2013 at 12:13 PM
I’ve yet to hear one that sounded pleasing to the ear. That includes Rogue from the X-Men cartoon. Nails on a chalkboard.

They’ve taken away all the disc jockeys but Matt Lauer makes like 100 million a year. What the fuck America.

It depends on the state really. The Missisippi/Alabama ones are icky, but a cute boy with a Carolina or Georgia accent can be adorable. Whatever language those Virginians are speaking on Moonshiners is horrific.
January 9th, 2013 at 12:17 PM
I hear a Southern accent, and the first thing that comes to mind is “idiot”. I know it’s a stereotype, but I just can’t help it.
January 9th, 2013 at 12:18 PM
she is gorgeous.
January 9th, 2013 at 12:19 PM
As somebody who can’t keep his eyes open or smile for a picture I know where she’s coming from. Painful is the best way to describe it.

Yup. I hate having my picture taken.

Great signing.

Pick any example you want. Southern accents = thumbs down.
January 9th, 2013 at 12:20 PM
I do not disagree.
/what do you mean I have an accent?
January 9th, 2013 at 12:20 PM
Has anyone put together a clip featuring all of her delayed reaction during the game? Seemed like, whenever they showed her, she had no reaction until 5 seconds after Mama McCarron was wildly cheering, or more likely, she saw the light indicating a live camera aimed at her.
January 9th, 2013 at 12:21 PM
Well I’m sick of this chick already.
January 9th, 2013 at 12:21 PM
she does what a lot of beauty pagent ladies do: Good posture, smiles a lot, and nice white teeth. Add that to a killer body and she could speak jibberish for all I care.
January 9th, 2013 at 12:22 PM
I think she’s handled the sudden rush of attention very well. Seems well grounded.

I’ve wondered how people who get shown on TV at sporting events know that they are on. I figure the camera has some light on it but sometimes they react when the camera is on the other side of the arena/stadium.

CJ, iirc you’re a Mainer. In 10 words or less, please sell me on Lewiston, ME. I notice there is a river and bridge, so moving there wouldn’t impede my assured destiny.
January 9th, 2013 at 12:30 PM
Oh, and AJ McCarron looks like a douchier version of Jay Cutler – if that was possible.
January 9th, 2013 at 12:31 PM
I see some with lights, some without. For her, she knew she and her prospective mother in law’s boobies would be a reaction shot focus.
January 9th, 2013 at 12:32 PM
As someone who went to Bates, stay far, far away from Lewiston.
January 9th, 2013 at 12:32 PM
Nice place to live, boring place to visit. I would love to move there.
January 9th, 2013 at 12:33 PM
From an ex-college fball player acquaintance of mine who knew him through Vandy connections…”Jay Cutler is the biggest drinker I’ve ever met”
January 9th, 2013 at 12:33 PM
Sorry, bub. If you asked me to think of one town in Maine I would recommend NOT moving to, it would be Lewiston.
But have fun!

January 9th, 2013 at 12:39 PM
The worst meal I’ve ever had at my life was at a restaurant in Lewiston (actually Auburn I think).
January 9th, 2013 at 12:40 PM
Thanks for the Lewiston info, peeps. This is why the internet is the best thing ever. I can ask about a place and anyone in the world can write anything they want about it, so I know I’m getting the best possible information.
January 9th, 2013 at 12:40 PM
Seriously… if you own a restaurant in Maine, and can’t make seafood that would be acceptable at McDonald’s, burn the place down and get the insurance money.
January 9th, 2013 at 12:40 PM
I’ve wondered how people who get shown on TV at sporting events know that they are on
Some of the new cameras, lights dont go on. Some have a red dot on the one side so some people are aware their camera is on.

January 9th, 2013 at 12:41 PM
Also: when you have money, small New England towns are a lot better. You can go to the nice restaurant (not plural), get a nice place away from town… I don’t think you’ll have a hard time enjoying any place as long as you have the right attitude.

Auburn has an Amato’s I believe, which has that going for it.

Hanover would be way better than Lewiston, if that’s still an option. Liberal, small quaint town with walking access to Bill Bryson.

But god forbid I say something about it or I’m being catty

Auburn > Lewiston by a slim margin, but both equally atrocious places. Move to the Southeast where Zumba is king

She’s nice-looking, but in a way that it’s hard to tell how much is “nice body, perfect makeup/grooming” and how much is natural. At the risk of eliciting the “George Clooney” comments… she’s hot, but not at that level of natural flawlessness or some other females mentioned here.

Live free or die, motherfuckers!
I’ve been pushing Nashville on anyone who listens. Great place, lots of young professionals, fairly moderate (Nashville itself is liberal). I also noticed it seemed insulated from the housing crisis (which turned out to be true) and the job market is fairly good. I know people who have actually had trouble finding qualified applicants for jobs.

I have multiple friends and family in NH that recently bought houses for slightly more than we sold our 1 bedroom condo for here in NJ.
January 9th, 2013 at 12:53 PM
Oh, I thought you said there was a possible job in Hanover NH. Nevermind then. There’s a reason I moved from NH -> Nashville though, I love it here.
An aside: Had a very large coyote in my front yard the other night. Took a shot at him out the front door then chased him into the woods in the dark. My wife has some serious blood lust for him, and I know if I kill him, I will be amply rewarded.
