where is billy packer when you need him

**No coincidences** · 03-27-11, 05:27 PM

I never thought I'd see someone long for Billy Packer.

Bobby Knight is an outstanding color guy.

BOB Knight ! f\*\*k the REST !

**MJFtheGenius** · 03-27-11, 09:27 PM

I miss Packer

he kept it real

**HoulihansTX** · 03-27-11, 09:58 PM

I'm sure he is busy "faggin out" while in retirement.

Packer was a tool, and duke/Unc apologist.

I would suggest you become an abuser of the mute button. Much like myself. Turn on some music, or get the radio sync'd. Commentator/analyst are optional in my view.

Bill Rafferty was, actually, kinda funny, this time.
He did a pretty good job with Verne Lundquist.

I'll say this, if you don't like CBS, then you don't like nobody.
Who's better than them?
ESPN-nope
Fox-Boring!!!
NBC-they barely do anything

Dan Shulman is a great play by play man, whether it is NBA, college or baseball. I may be in the minority, but I like Gus Johnson. He makes everything exciting and love how he gets giddy at 3s and his lines are funny.

Though I do agree, Kellogg is annoying as hell, is it me or does he say Jim every other word? If you played the drinking game, you would be drunk after the 1st minute of play.

I think Kellogg does a good job as a color guy. He's not very entertaining but he knows basketball which is rare

**EaglesPhan36** · 03-27-11, 11:06 PM

Yeah I really miss Packer calling Billy Donovan, Billy Dunnuhvinn.

Kellogg is okay, nothing special but definitely no where as shitty as some of the crap that passes for color guys now. I wouldn't mind seeing Raftery in there, he's pretty solid. The biggest plus of this year was no f-ing Dick Enberg. That guy could ruin a porno.

i like kellog better in the studio. Always like rafferty

**Art Vandelay** · 03-27-11, 11:36 PM

AS long as Gus Johnson is doing play-by-play, I don't care who the analyst is. "Rise and Fire" baby!

**creazntee** · 03-27-11, 11:48 PM

Ha ha This is a funny thread

Gus Johnson is the Stuart Scott of announcing. There's no difference between them other than their specific jobs.

The game's exciting enough on it's own for this tool to make it all about him. Nice job calling for BYU to foul with 10 seconds left in a tie game Gus.

Raftery is the best analyst by far. McDonough, Raftery and Bilas are a great team. Steve Kerr has potential, but man was Marv Albert annoying today with his raspy voice. Vitale and Marv are the worst voices ever when they're raspy or whatever.

**triqy** · 03-28-11, 12:23 AM

I think Kellogg knows his college basketball.

**LordCC** · 03-28-11, 01:02 AM

Speaking of Marv, what the heck was wrong with his voice these last 2 games? It seemed more crustier then ever before. But even so, I found his voice like nails across the chalk board, it gave me the willies.

why for all the money they pay these guys cant any of the neworks come up with 1 decent color guy.
bobby knight is pretty good but all the others suck.

Man, you must have either very low self esteem or a boring life to have a basketball game analyst get under your skin

**DrunkHorseplayer** · 03-28-11, 01:25 AM

Why would you need Billy Packer? You like being bored to death?
