His words, not mine. How else do you study team's in 2008? Read their preseason fluff media guides or scroll through USA today? Seriously? My 2 problems with Packer are that listening to him is like being lectured for 2 hours by some old dude. Also, he loves to bring up some obscure fact or game from 50 years go that he twists to make relevant in the current game when in reality, it is pointless. The over/under on these dumb historical tidbits are 3 for this evenings title game. I question Packer’s “research” when he does not even have email or use the internet. His words, not mine.

He does his homework and calls it as he sees it. Most color guys do neither,especially on the 4-letter. Sure, he's ornery, but at least he attempts to provide some insight into the fundamentals of the game instead of repeating worn out cookie-cutter scripts and over-hyping every made shot.

He cant stand it to not hear his voice. He must have a serious inferiority complex. Probably a small weener. Packer never shuts up. He cant stand it to not hear his voice.

I would absolutely pay $10 for a channel on my cable box that had a different set of announcers, even if it was only for the Final Four. In fact, it wouldn't even need Gus, just Verne and Raffy would do fine. That’s a good point on the bonus MMOD.

In fact, if it was up to Packer, no shots would be taken, ever. And why the hell didn't you utilize the "Die" tag for this one? That's probably the only way to get him off these telecasts.
