Good Riddance Packer

Post by Dodgers »

No, not Brett Favre.

Billy Packer's streak of Final Fours is over after 34 years, The Miami Herald reported Monday.

Billy Packer will reportedly be replaced by CBS studio analyst Clark Kellogg.
Packer, a color commentator, will be replaced in CBS' coverage by studio analyst Clark Kellogg, network representative Leslie Anne Wade confirmed to the newspaper. Jim Nantz will continue in his Final Four play-by-play role.

Packer, 68, will leave CBS after 28 years to pursue "other projects in basketball," according to the report. An announcement was expected Monday.


Best CBB news I've heard since Hasheem Thabeet decided not to turn pro. Any doubt he's going to do some work for the ACC?

To quote Bobby Heenan when Ric Flair won the 1992 Royal Rumble: "Yes! YES YES YES YES YES!"

Now half of the Final 4 announce team is set. We have to get Gus Johnson to do play by play now and we'll be good for the next 30 years. I suspect the Gus Johnson facebook group I'm a part of may turn militant, so if you see me and Kegan executed for war crimes against CBS, you know why
