As Twitchy reported this morning, ESPN sportscaster Brent Musberger’s creepy admission that he is smitten with Alabama quarterback A.J. McCarron’s girlfriend sparked an internet sensation. First, the NFL’s Darnell Dockett tried to entice Katherine Webb with his digits and an invite to Wingstop. Webb’s follower count exploded, and even Wingstop got in on the action.
Twitter, as always, delivered with the @CreepyMusburger parody account.
BCS title game not a total waste. Least we got @CreepyMusburger on Twitter…

If theres a silver lining to the game, its the fact that @creepymusburger has been spawned. Hysterical

@_KatherineWebb Have you ever heard of Tony Randall? He was 50 years older than his wife. Just saying…

@_KatherineWebb I once got in a fistfight with Jimmy the Greek. Ask your grandpa about it.

@_KatherineWebb Your boyfriend's got a cramp. Time to ditch the zero and get with a 73-year-old sportscaster.
— Creepy Musburger (@CreepyMusburger) January 8, 2013
He even asked for advice from The Hef.
@hughhefner What's your secret to attracting younger women? Should I get a captain's hat and silk pajamas?

The account is now taking “ditching the zero” into its own hands, and is petitioning the White House to deport A.J. McCarron to smooth the path to Webb’s heart.
WE PETITION THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO:
Deport A.J. McCarron so Brent Musberger can steal his girlfriend.
A 73-year-old broadcaster’s 100% healthy obsession with a college quarterback’s model girlfriend.
Piers Morgan is going to be totally mad that he is stealing his deportation petition thunder!

@JoeNamath didn’t really tweet that, so there is still hope for @CreepyMusburger yet!
