Brent Musburger
Media Approval Ratings hits on the old pro, Brent Musburger, the man responsible for “You’re looking LIVE at Soldier Field,” and other such venues. Brent popped onto the national scene as the host on the old NFL Today show with Kentucky’s own (sort of) Phyllis George and Irv Cross. He was also the hoops palay-by-play man with Billy Packer until CBS bounced him in the early 1990s. Brent moved over to ABC and is now ESPN’s college football play-by-play man teaming with Kirk Herbstreit.
So what say you on Brent Musburger, thumbs-up or thumbs-down?

I’m tired of Brent predicting the end result of the play only to be totally wrong. He’s clueless and needs to move on.
I’m tired of Brent’s obvious bias and favoritism of certain teams. I say he be put out to pasture in his native Oregon. And Brent you can wear all the hot pink shirts you want back home! you’ll fit right in at the socialist republic of Oregon!
