I Still Hate Billy Packer

I have devoted much of my web log towards my hatred for CBS college basketball analysist, Billy Packer. I could list all my individual links, but I'm too lazy (Give me a break. I have "Lethargic" in the name of my web site for crying out loud). You can use the Search function on the right to find my other Billy Packer posts. I had an elaborate plan to write yet another piece of prose lambasting the tired old coot, but I couldn't get any references this year. Not due to lack of information, because Billy Packer spews idiocy from his mouth like a geiser. My plan was to write down his asinine commentary from the two Final Four games and the National Championship game like I did in 2003, but other circumstances stood in my way. I viewed the semi-final games while in Tennessee in the presence of at least 6 kids, so I did not have the opportunity, nor the environment for transcribing. I watched the National Championship game, which featured my Alma mater winning the championship, from the friendly confines of Ed and Kristin's house. A house full of UNC alums watching the most important basketball game of the year, usually comes packaged with everyone shouting encouragement and profanity in large doses. Again, not exactly a good documenting atmosphere. (Perhaps I could review Dan's TiVo'd copy of the game to get the full Billy Packer effect)

However, do not think that my lack of attention to the grumpy old man of college basketball means that he is out of my crosshairs. On the contrary, my ire toward this blowhard has fully blossomed with emergence of Spring. I just don't have concrete examples this time. Maybe I could just guess what he said. It can't be that hard. Let me give it a try....
