  • Billy Packer OUT!!!

    College basketball commentator Billy Packer, who has announced 34 consecutive Final Fours on network television and created a few controversies along the way, will not be returning to CBS for a 28th season, The Miami Herald has learned.

    CBS has decided to replace Packer, 68, with studio analyst Clark Kellogg on its lead announcing team.

    An announcement is expected Monday, but CBS representative Leslie Anne Wade confirmed the story Sunday night
    Good riddance!!!

            At least Dick Vitale is a good guy and not an arrogant prick like Packer.

                  personally I am hoping for jim nance's departure as well.

                  Maybe they should hire packer as a spokesman for the valley.(sarcasm)
