but look at the "controversy." There wasn't anything beyond tweets. espn apologized for Musburger going too far, a couple academics got quoted, and then the internet worked its wonder and people flipped out because there was an apology (note: it wasn't ever an apology to Webb. (“We always try to capture interesting storylines and the relationship between an Auburn grad who is Miss Alabama and the current Alabama quarterback certainly met that test,” ESPN spokesman Mike Soltys tweeted. “However, we apologize that the commentary in this instance went too far and Brent understands that.”)

this was some fox news war on christmas style backlash against an apology that was pretty damn appropriate.
