OK guys and gals if there is one story I agree with, this will be it.,

Please sit down before you read the next paragraph. I mentioned its contents to a bunch of friends, and everyone had the same reaction. First they laughed and said, "No, that's not true." When I spelled out the facts, there was dead silence, followed by the words "No, no, no, no … " Finally, they either passed out from shock or tumbled backward into a chair, where they remained for a few minutes muttering to themselves, trying to make sense of their life and everything that has happened in it. I don't want that to be your fate. So make sure you're sitting. OK, here we go …

Billy Packer has provided color for every Final Four game and every NCAA championship game since 1975.
(You OK? Need a glass of water? All right, let's keep going.)
Throwing in the fact that he's been assigned to the most prestigious regional each March, it's safe to assume that, of the 100 greatest college basketball games since 1974, Packer has announced three-quarters of them. Watch ESPN Classic when it shows a famous March Madness moment this month: Bird-Magic, Villanova-Georgetown, Duke-UNLV, Lorenzo Charles' dunk, C-Webb's timeout … seriously, name a memorable game, and you'll undoubtedly see Packer standing there before tip-off with that look on his face. His reign of saltiness has featured plenty of play-by-play partners (Curt Gowdy, Dick Enberg, Gary Bender, Brent Musburger and Jim Nantz, to name five), two networks (NBC, CBS) and an ongoing reluctance to crack jokes or entertain viewers in any way.

Billy Packer is terrible. CBS should switch Packer with Clark Kellogg so while I'm in the can or getting a bite to eat during halftime, I would conveinently miss Packer talking!!!

I cant stand to listen to him, but like in the article what you going to do with the delay. You cant turn the tv down and listen to the radio for the delay.
