Coverup! In the Lil' Tiger Woods Gatorade cartoon commercial, isn't the gopher Brent Mussberger?

It's a massive coverup because on the internets all you can find is the Woods of Wisdom version of the Gatorade advertisement that doesn't include the gopher. Like they're saying that's the official version of the ad. But that's not the ad that plays during ABC's basketball playoff games, is it? No, during NBA games, you see a slightly different ad. A gopher pops out of the ground with a microphone, and its flat hairdo is clearly meant to be the head of longtime sports commentator Brent Mussberger. I find this hilarious and an outrage at the same time. Brent may have died several years back, or he may be alive and well, I frankly don't know, but I feel strongly that if Gatorade is going to mock his image they should pay royalties to either a living Brent or to the family of a deceased Brent.
