CBS Says Beuerlein Was Joking When Proclaiming "USC Thugs" On-Air
Tuesday, November 27, 2007
In a statement released to the Tennessean Newspaper CBS stated that Steve Beuerlein was kidding around when he referred the the Titans' Lendale White as a "USC Thug" coming back from a commercial break.
LeslieAnn Wade, vice president of communications for CBS, said Beuerlein was joking off-air with play-by-play man Bill Macatee and was unaware the telecast had resumed. Wade said Macatee lives in southern California and follows Trojan football.Pretty convenient if you ask me, and the "explanation" line at the end is odd to say the least, but it's not out of the realm of possibility. It didn't sound like Steve was joking at the time, but I guess if that's their story...that's their story.
"Steve being a Notre Dame guy and like any two friends who have those allegiances would do, they kid each other about Notre Dame and USC all the time,'' Wade said. "Certainly Steve wishes it wasn't on the air and so does CBS, but that is the explanation."

A couple of folks emailed about ex-NFLer Steve Beuerlein's comments coming back from a break and here's the video. LenDale White had just got into it with a Bengals defender after he hit him out of bounds and was flagged for kneeing the DB in the head.
CBS was coming back from commercial when Beuerlein didn't realize they were back and his mic was on....
"USC Thugs"
I don't really associate the word thug with USC, but okay Steve. I think you might be benched for a bit after that comment my friend.
(Many thanks to Barry for pulling the video)
