Brent Musburger in hot water again over ‘smokin’ tonight’ comment VIDEO

Brent Musburger is getting some negative feedback after making a second “flattering” comment to a female within the course of a week.

Katherine-Webb-jpgESPN is responding Tuesday to Musburger’s comments closing out the broadcast for a college basketball blowout.

“Once again, your final score, Kansas 61, Baylor, 44,” he said. “Coming up next, ‘Sports Center.’ For Fran Franshilla and Holly Rowe, who was really smokin’ tonight, I want to say ‘so long from Lawrence.’”

That came on his first broadcast since making headlines in college football’s BCS national championship game, another blowout, when he gushed over Katherine Webb, Alabama quarterback A.J. McCarron’s girlfriend and the former Miss Alabama.

“You quarterbacks, you get all the good-looking women,” he said as the camera focused on Webb. “What a beautiful woman. Whoa!’’

ESPN spokesman Mike Soltys even tweeted that Musburger went “too far.” For her part Webb, 23, said she was flattered.

ESPN, Musburger’s employer, is suggesting the veteran broadcaster added the word “it” to his signoff – as if the game or the broadcast or Rowe did a good job – “it was really smoking.”

“Simply stated: Brent said the word ‘it.’ We are moving on,” tweeted Josh Krulewitz, ESPN’s spokesman.
