    hey, at least billy just declared, "this game's over," instead of trying to tell us what n.c. has to do to get back into it. ::) ::) ::)

    Wonder what the CBS execs think of Packer saying the game is over as America switches over to some poker rerun.

    So much for the greatest Final Four of all time.

    I have never in my life seen a reference to anal sex and Billy Packer. Ever. I mean ... never, ever.

    Sarcasm aside, he and Nantz both make my skin crawl.

    Back in the late 70s-early 80s, Enberg, Packer and McGuire were a solid team. McGuire was the obnoxious one of that bunch ("Big Clock/Little Clock.")

    Can't wait for Jim "Hello Friends" Nantz and the tinkling music from Augusta National in five days. Will Packer declare the tournament over when Tiger trails by seven after the first round?

    At least Dick Enberg was on the play-by-play.

    And that was 30 years ago.

    Just sayin' that he did have better days at one time. He's not at the pathetic level of Pat Summerall at the Cotton Bowl by any means.

    Packer's analysis has consisted of telling us that Kansas has "fresher legs." Nothing about how defensive positioning and lack of transition opportunities has played a role.

    Is Hansbrough a shot blocker? I wish Billy would take a stance.
     
  10. My overriding complaint is this: in Packer's world, there can never be a good play - only a play in which somebody got beat, did something wrong. Most of us, even the ones who know the game, watch to appreciate good plays and good teamwork and general goodness. Packer seems to watch so he can point out badness.
     
  11. I also enjoyed when he said, "The championship, at the college level, is not a best two-of-three series, it's one-and-done. And North Carolina..."

    Is there any championship, anywhere, that a best two-of-three series?
