Good grief. He's just an old man paying compliments to a couple of ladies. His tone was just a way of saying, “Wow!” Nothing he said was inappropriate, but we have fascists on patrol constantly telling us looking at or admiring women in any way is not to be done.
He was simply killing time. His team was getting wiped out. He's from Chicago and likes Notre Dame. Sometimes freepers outpreach liberals in saluting politically correct religion.
