Did Ford forget my Brembo package tune or am I an idiot...or both?
So BBP cars are supposed to have a special sport mode, right? My car doesn't respond to the double tap on the traction control button nor the 8 second press.
Am I doing something wrong or did I get The wrong computer?
Thanks for any suggestions.

You don't have to have a BBP to have sport mode.
My 2010 auto has it...
Your tune has special ESC tuning for all scenarios. which probably- tho there's no word on it... lets the car run a little looser due to it's wider tires. But with that, ESC does not improve a vehicle's cornering performance, it rather helps minimize the loss of control.

There are no electronic shocks or anything like that so it can't affect cornering ability, just how much and how soon the ESC works.

Hit the button once and the traction control turns off but the electronic stability control stays on.
Foot on brake and hit the button twice rapidly and sport mode lights up in the information range briefly. It allows the car to spin the tires more (not as much as TC off, but enough) and accepts a greater yaw rate. So you can drift without losing control. It does this by monitoring the vehicles yaw using new sensors, wheel spin, throttle position and or brake position and speed etc.
Foot on brake hold the tc button for 8 seconds or so and EVERYTHING turns off. Advancetrac, traction, and stability.
In my findings sport offers the best of both worlds...
Take what you want out of the ESC tuning on the bbp... I think it's a bit looser for brembos due to the tires... as i stated above.

Advance Trac with ESC
AdvanceTrac® Electronic Stability Control (ESC), standard on Mustang, gives you more confidence and control behind the wheel under slippery road conditions. AdvanceTrac uses sensors to detect and measure yaw, or side-to-side skidding conditions, by monitoring the vehicle’s speed, throttle position and steering wheel angle. When AdvanceTrac senses wheel slippage, it reduces engine torque and applies the brakes as needed. In the 2011 Mustang GT Premium, AdvanceTrac® ESC can be placed in ‘on,’ ‘off’ or Sport mode position – allowing you to push it more while still retaining control. This feature provides unique calibration for a spirited driving experience.?

I thought the simple one-push turned everything off.

That will completely negate traction control, yes. I'm not sure if ESC could somehow interpret massive shifts in weight balance (like launching) as a stability issue though, so it couldn't hurt to do the 8-second hold to turn everything off.

one tap: "traction control off"
double tap (with foot on brake): "sport mode"
hold for 6-8 seconds (with foot on brake): "advance track off"
hold for 14-19 seconds (with foot on brake): "amphibious vehicle mode"

On the '11 it does indeed tell you which mode you're in (for a few seconds before returning to whatever info you had selected previously)...so I suspect that the '10 is the same way.

AHA!!! And I thought I was the only one who new about "amphibious mode"..

Now remember guys, when tapping twice on TC button to activate "sports mode", you have to be going 100 MPH or more when applying brake. 
Just sayin'..........
