What a Traveshammockery by Brent Musberger!

by user LastRow


What on God’s green earth is going on in Pac-10 country…Better known as the West Coast of our great nation. Yeah, Okay! Why we haven’t heard so much coming out of that portion of the U.S. since the whole West Coast-East Coast hip-hop feud. By the way, 2-Pac is still alive…I saw him while I was up in South Bend the other week lighting a candle in the Grotto, or was that Hef’s Grotto where I saw him? Has the Pac-10 ever got this much pub? First the Oregon-Oklahoma game has been in the headlines ever since the damn game was played on Separation Saturday for obvious reasons. Damn, I thought I was through with mentioning “Separation Saturday”? Now comes word the USC Trojans have filed a formal complaint of their own.

The university is accusing Brent Musberger of revealing “top-secret” information during his glorious play-by-play call of the USC-Nebraska game. The crime that Mr. Musberger has been accused of is describing (in great detail I might add) how quarterback Booty, (isn’t that something…You have a Booty playing for the Trojans. Isn’t that ironic) lets his receivers know he has spotted a certain kind of coverage. Yeah, I watched the game, guess what, it was a bore fest. Brent needed something to talk about over the last 10 minutes of the game. I think the game put me to sleep by then, so maybe I didn’t hear this, but I’m sure I wasn’t the only one who fell asleep. Okay, so when John David Booty sees a one-on-one matchup he gives the familiar “hang loose” sign surfers use. Oh shit, the cat’s out of the bag…LastRowSports.com will be looking for the same that was sent to ESPN…Go going Brent!

Just out of curiosity here, how did Brent obtain this information in the first place? Perhaps on Friday during part of ABC’s game preparations with coaches & players. I’m just guessing somebody from USC mentioned something about it? I don’t know about you, but if I don’t want to share information about anything, I’m not…Well, unless there was a gun held to my head. I wonder if Brent did this to Mr. Booty. I’m sure Musberger wanted to get down with the whole East Coast-West Coast thing. Perhaps he’s the one that shot Biggie & Pac? Always had the suspicion Brent could possibly be gangster.

Where’s the crime here? Well besides holding a gun to somebody’s melon. When did stealing signals become national attention & newsworthy. The only reason why I’m yapping about it is because that’s what I do best…Make fun of silly shit like this, that’s how I roll! Every team in professional & college sports team in America does this. Here’s a clue & a news flash…There isn’t any kind of signals that are secretive in sports today. Stealing signals is just part of athletics. I don’t understand where USC sports information director Tim Tessalone can say, "What he [Brent}did was unconscionable?’ It’s not like Musberger did the greatest of all sins & glanced over at his opponent controller to see what play was called during an intense game of Tecmo Bowl. Is there no greater crime than this? Not that would constitute as being “unconscionable”! With some capital punishment recommendations to follow! See Tim, what you seem to have on your hands is more a long the lines of a traveshammockery! The two are easily confused, so it’s a honest mistate Timmy.

Who had any idea that the “hang-loose surfer sign” was so precious? Word had it that the very popular “picking the nose” signal was so beloved or the signal of picking underwear out of your ass, scratching one’s balls…The list can go on & on. Perhaps Pete Carroll might want to think about one of these, since now thanks to Brent Musberger, followed up by yours truly at LastRowSports.com, the cat is definitely out of the bag. Just please don’t sue LastRow, we might have a pending lawsuit from cranky Phil Knight out in Oregon. Later Turkeys!

Booty did, in fact, tell Musberger that was the sign. According to ESPN, Musberger mentioned to Booty that signed from Troy Smith had been picked up during the Texas game, and asked if Booty had such a sign. The University is now saying these signs are top secret, and that Booty thought the conversation was private. First faux pas of your career, Booty - unless you specifically say so, no conversation with a member of the media is private. At least Pete Caroll is taking the high ground on this by shrugging it off and saying that there are millions of signs they can use. Stupid mistake by Booty, and an even stupider complaint by USC.

+Norm, scratching your balls is sole property of baseball and/or Mike Vick's personal signal for "My name is Ron Mexico" I'm hoping "Booty Call" was the working title before you went copywrite infringing on Beer Commercials...

I was thinking about suing you over your unlicensed use of "Bone Smugglers" but it sounds so innocent when YOU say it...

Thats just sad, that the mighty USC offense has yet to figure out a way to overcome this whole thing. Change this sign it takes two mins, plus if you change the sign and dont tell anyone you can use the old one as a dummy signal.

they could just flash the "Shocker" (or "2P1S" if you prefer), or maybe throw up a "West Side"... these guys are supposed to be college educated, you'd think they'd figure out a way around it...
