Gawked-Over Model Katherine Webb Responded Perfectly to Brent Musburger’s Retirement

“Cheers, Brent. You were good to me.”

Jan 27, 2017

Long-time sports broadcaster Brent Musburger recently announced that he will call his last game when the Kentucky and Georgia men’s basketball teams square off on January 31, and that he plans to spend his retirement helping his family start a sports handicapping business and traveling the world with the millions of airline miles he’s racked up over the years.

After almost 50 years of providing colorful sports commentary for CBS, ABC and ESPN, the 77-year-old veteran sportscaster has had countless memorable moments. But his fawning over Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback AJ McCarron’s then-girlfriend Katherine Webb during the 2013 BCS National Championship game is one of the most unforgettable.

Neither McCarron, who now plays for the Cincinnati Bengals, nor the former Miss Alabama took any offense, and why would they? In fact, she even sent out this heartfelt tweet upon hearing the news.

Cheers Brent, you were good to me. https://t.co/GFYECtbdW2

Others evidently share Webb’s sentiment…

The two are now happily married, and the gorgeous Webb has found success as a swimsuit model. Are Brent’s compliments what launched her to success in the modeling biz? We’re not sure, but we do know that she is one hell of a looker, and McCarron is a very lucky man. See why below:

Sometimes you just feel more confident with a good tan, so I'm trying out @Bondisands to help out my winter paleness. This product is also now available online at Target! Stay tuned for results 🙌🏼”
