During tonight’s televised broadcast of Sugar Bowl game between Auburn and Oklahoma, ESPN’s Brent Musburger pissed off a lot of people for wishing Joe Mixon a healthy NFL career following his domestic violence incident where he knocked out a woman in a bar back in 2014.

Brent Musburger maybe not the dude you want to have delving into the particulars of the Joe Mixon case

ESPN could have used the Joe Mixon story to address a huge problem in sports. Instead Brent Musburger wished him a lengthy NFL career. Yeesh

Not sure you're going to change Musburger at this stage, but I hope a producer is suggesting he not continue with any Mixon redemption talk.

Musburger must have checked his Twitter mentions during a commercial because he came back firing at those who criticized him on social media over his comments about Mixon.
Probably best to take a timeout here Brent.
