Watch: AJ McCarron's priceless reaction to his girlfriend's fame


After publishing two serious newsstories, multiple less-than-serious blog posts and a handful of tweets, you'd think we'd be over A.J. McCarron's girlfriend, Katherine Webb.

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

The reaction the Alabama quarterback had to hearing of his girlfriend's newfound fame -- Twitter followers at 164,000 and counting -- was chronicled by Rachel George of Paste BN Sports in a story that was posted early Tuesday morning.

George wrote:

Coming off his second national championship in as many years, McCarron couldn't feel threatened by the attention. Both Webb and McCarron said he's not the jealous type, at least not about unwanted advances Webb gets from other men.
Getting a follow from [LeBron] James, however briefly, that's a different story.
"Say you swear," he said to a reporter after being told of James following his girlfriend. "Man, I'm gonna tweet him and I'm gonna get a follow. That's messed up. Hey, I guess she's more famous than me now."

It's a great reaction in print, but gains even more with the accompanying video:
