Billy Packer is an obnoxious, idiotic, boring old man.

[gold64]

He'll overanalyze every insignificant play in a game. Listening to him, you'd think the game is as boring as he describes it.

He sees everything through his ACC eyes.

He was relevant 30 years ago, but he's a cranky old man now.

And it is never the players who win the games . It is always "what a terrific adjustment by Coach ______"

 

[genosays]

Totally agree .... can't listen to him call a game anymore, just too aggravating .... I will always listen on the radio instead if an option.

 

[Chewbacca]

Did you guys see his face during the Selection show. Man they needed to put on some makeup or something. He looks scary. But I agree I can't stand the games he does. In the national championship game between INdiana and Maryland he was openly rooting for the Hoosiers. What a dick

 

[Ego74]

yeah, it really burns his a$$ that kentucky beats north carolina every year. when pitino coached the cats, he was REALLY anti-kentucky

 

[Matt24]

Hacker- I have that game on tape and never really noticed it. He hated Bob Knight with a passion, so that may have been part of it.

He sure isn't Steve Lavin, who I think is the best color guy in the business along with Raftery.

But Packer's presentation is depressing, miserable and demeaning.


College Basketball is fun; something he forgot when his Marquette partner passed away.

 

[earl]

i also do not like packer.

 

[KMAN]

I knew that the first time I heard him say " And they come out...MAN to MAN!!!" Maybe it's Rafftery I'm thinking of. Anyway they are both horrible to listen to.

CBS-Television just lets these old guys go on and on, with no one having the guts to fire their stale acts.



CBS just allowed Pat Summerall to go on and on.....


CBS let Captain Kangaroo go on and on....


CBS let Red Skelton go on and on.....



... and they need to send SADMAN Packer packing..


..They probably won't.. he'll bore us all March Madness

 

[gold64]

Saturday, March 20 CBS stuck him in Denver to watch two of his ACC teams (both favored) play their 2nd round games.



Maryland and NC both lost.



He's crying all night

I love when Raff goes "man to man"

Classic!

CBS refuses to hire new or young announcers. It intends to keep these old men on sporting events until their using oxygen masks. Why don't they get rid of that vulture Lesley Visser. She's an idiot who should be on The View with embalmed Barbara Walters. I guess CBS thinks the average age of people watching the tournament is 53. CBS thinks Greg Gumbel and Phil Simms are entertaining as their number one announcing team for NFL Football so what do you expect.

 

[gold64]

I call her Lesley Ressiv.


Her hair is always backwards, so I did the same to her last name.
