Hip Hop mogul Kanye West has been forced to issue a public apology after scandalously interrupting Charlie Weis' post-game excuse session, following Notre Dame's devastating loss to Michigan.
Football fans appeared stunned by the incident, which came in the midst of one of Weis' finest-ever passings of the buck.
The heavily criticized moment took place eight minutes into Weis' post-game interview, when a visibly steamed Kanye West appeared from behind a curtain to interject.
"Hey Ya'll," West shouted to the audience, "I know 'dat the Domers be all perturbed about the officiating, but, come on, man… Tate Forcier had one of the best games of all time! Everybody knows what happened. No disrespect to Charlie, but this press conference be all redundant and shit."
The visibly stunned crowd, who had waited anxiously for Charlie Weis to blame his poor performance on a wide array of other people and misfortunes, responded with loud boos and a wave of hissing.
Weis tried to regain the spotlight by digging deep into his bag of half-assed, shoddy excuses, to see if he could find any additional reasons for why his team squandered such a great opportunity.
"Yes, as I already mentioned, Forcier was great. But that was one of at least twenty reasons why this game should not be held against me, or my reputation as an offensive genius."
"Did you know," Weis added, "that the statistical likelihood of a team like Michigan having two straight losing seasons is only 1 to 500? With those odds, my guys were walking into a nearly impossible situation. You can't blame us for that. You can't blame any team for losing that one."
In an appearance on The View, the Grammy-winning musician admitted that he is a big fan of Charlie Weis' legendary ability to keep a job while simultaneously losing every single meaningful game that he coaches.
"Hey, all I'm saying, is that if I put out five or six records, and none of them be achieving platinum status, then my ass is done. Done. How he be keeping his ass in check after losing to Ohio State, USC on three different occasions…Syracuse. Damn, Syracuse. That man talk his way out of ANYTHING."
Though he has not formally accepted Kanye West's apology, Charlie Weis has noted that he will not take the incident personally.
"Look, the circumstances are what they are. The kid [Forcier] had a great day. Any coach can make excuses when the opposition plays that well. I get that. But you have to realize that even under such circumstances, the best coaches can find little-known trivium and scenario analysis for which the loss is to blame. I'm prepared for any situation. If Forcier throws four interceptions, and we still lose, I've still got ten great excuses. Can Rich Rodriguez do the same?"
Many other coaches have reached out to support Charlie Weis.
Former Notre Dame Head Coach Tyrone Willingham was one of the first to praise his successor.
"That Kanye West is a jackass. Everybody knew about Forcier. Everybody knew how to explain that loss. But the classy move is to let the guy [Weis] finish his speech regardless. There's a reason why he still has his job. It's because he has recruited one excellent class of PR assistants and media representatives after another."
Scout Inc. has consistently rated Notre Dame in the top five for their recruiting of Front Office Hacks, Kool-Aid Drinking Boosters, and Catholic Massholes with Money.
Kanye West will appear on Jay Leno during tonight's broadcast and is expected to apologize to Weis in person.
