Brent Musberger had no idea. But the announcer’s off-hand (and, according to some Twitter pundits, somewhat off-color) pronouncements about the beauty of Katherine Webb, Alabama quarterback A.J. McCarron’s girlfriend, produced a social media meltdown Monday night
How big? Arizona Cardinals defensive tackle Darnell Dockett tweeted Miss Alabama his phone number and invited her to a strip club. University of Georgia quarterback A.J. Murray said she needed to become a Bulldogs fan. Webb’s phone battery died from all the texts and calls that she received. Oh yeah, she also added 100,000 followers on Twitter. Honest.
What’s next? Our guess is more than one marketer for a big brand (read Go Daddy, Tostitos, Pepsi) has already reached out to her about appearing in a Super Bowl ad. Of course, there is also a downside to this story: The revelation about McCarron’s enormous (and bizarre) chest tattoo. Take a look.
