3652 nicollturnerNCUSI saw him speak at a convention in charlotte, nc several years ago. If it possible, he is even more self-absorbed and assanine and irrelevant in the flesh. If he was to disappear completely, the world would be a better place.

3654 JamesWindAZUSPacker has to go. This guy is a total joke. Time to put him out to pasture. His take on the incredibly vicious hit Tyler Hansbrough took was just baffling. Im neither a fan nor a hater of either program but I do enjoy watching the kids play. That kind of unsportsmanship has no place in this game and Packer scapegoating the refs on that call tells me everything I need to know about his ability to commentate on these games. He has to go!
3655 JFLINNEROHUSTHIS GUYS IS AN IDOIT PLEASE PLEASE TAKE THIS ARROGANT ASSHOLE OFF THE AIR ASAP
3656 JohnLangfordCAUSHe's an idiot.
3657 ChuckEnglandNCUSAfter listening to Billy Packer say that Gerald Henderson "was going for the ball" and then disagreeing with the refs decision (after the refs looked at the replay) to eject Henderson; I felt compelled to do a search for Packer and see if anyone else felt the same way I do. It has long been known here in Carolina that Packer has the "anybody but UNC" bias. We fans have heard enough of Packer. I listened to the coverage on the game on 94.1 radio and muted the CBS audio. Please do not renew Packers contract when it expires.

3659 RobertBlackNCUSBilly Packar is prejudiced and negative and as a former college Basketball official, he does not speak for us because he does not know the rules so he should not even be commenting on the rules of the game. I despise a game commentated by Packard and therefore will not watch a game with him behind the mike. CBS's name and reputation is being smeared, maligned and blemished because of Billy Peckerhead.
3660 JanetBlackNCUSI cannot stand to listen to Billy Packer. He is so negative and makes his commentating so personal with extreme predjudice. He should be objective and upbeat, but everything about him and what he says is a big turn-off and I often change the channel or simply turn him off.
3661 RyanShinskaMIUSAnd replace him with Bill Raftery!!!

3666 AnonymousAnonymousNCUSBecause of Billy Packer, if there was another channel to watch ACC ball I would.

3669 AnonymousAnonymousPAUSWhen someone is that inobjective and biased he has to be removed period.

3671 AnonymousAnonymousNCHe's way too critical of coaches that are more sucessful than he ever was. I could go on and on.
3672 AnonymousAnonymousNCUSI thought his loud and boisterous comments concerning the flagrant foul were a bit much. This is one of the reasons that many, such as myself, will not listen anymore when he is one of the announcers. He will continue to have a negative impact on audiences due to his arrogant and self-righteous personanlity.

3674 AnonymousAnonymousNCUSBilly Packer is so biased when it comes to announcing games. He even referenced to how the Carolina players were dancing before the Duke game, saying that's not the Carolina way. What does he know about the Carolina way, he went to Wake Forrest. His commentary on the Henderson/Hansbrough incident was intolerable. It is to the point now that I would rather listen to the game on radio with the TV volume down rather than listen to him. Packer does nothing but make mistakes on calls, and make me want to watch games on ESPN or ABC rather than CBS.
3675 JohnStokesNCUSPlease remove him. He his a disgrace to college basketball.
3676 JamesLongestNCUSBilly Packer adds nothing to the game. He misstates the rules. He talks over his counterparts. His opinions are not insightful or helpful. There are scores of more recent coaches and players who understand the game and did not play for a segregated team or get fired from coaching three decades ago.
3677 LarryBaker
3678 AnonymousAnonymousVADespicable analysis of the Hansbrough-Henderson affair.
3679 AnonymousAnonymousUSBilly Packer's good days have passed him by. He no longer has relevant or intelligent things to say. He needs to be replaced.
3680 BenLindermanNCUS
3681 AnonymousAnonymousNCUSSmug, biased, and famous only because Len Chappel gave him many open shots due to the double teams.
3682 WillLloydNCUS
3683 TarheelBornbreddeadNC
3684 MattStradleyNCUSI am tired of how he makes himself the story just about every year.

3686 AnonymousAnonymousNCUSI completely agree. I cringe whenever Billy Packer calls a game. CBS has the best basketball coverage hands down, but Billy makes me mute the TV when he calls the game.
3687 MarissaMapesNCUSI have personally written CBS before about this matter. It is unfortunate that as a basketball fans that we must endure and be exposed to such horrible game commentary. Quite frankly, it oftentimes takes the enjoyment out of watching the game. I get upset when I find out that CBS is broadcasting a game because I know that the commentary will be so bad that I will have to mute my TV! Come on...CBS can do better than this for the viewers!
3688 AnonymousAnonymousNYUSI found Billy Packer's biased commentary completely outrageous. And I'm a Duke fan!

3690 MichaelPittmanNCUSBilly Packer is the worst sports announcer I have ever heard. there are so many better announcers deserving of his spot.
3691 AnonymousAnonymousNC
3692 AnonymousAnonymousMOUSHis best days of commentating passed him by a dozen years ago.
3693 DerekPopeNJUSBilly, still think that Henderson foul was not intentional??
3694 DavidHowardNCUSI agree that Billy Packer's routine negativity needs to be either corrected or he needs to be removed from the broadcast booth.
3695 StevenHollowellNCUSPathetic. Uninformed. Biased. Negative. Outdated.
3696 LaurieReedOKUSGet rid of Digger Phelps also...Stupid SOB!
3697 JonClendeninNCUSAnnouncers should just call the game without "pulling" for one team or the other. Packer is horrible and must go.
3698 AnonymousAnonymousALUSBilly Packer is an embarrasement to the game of basketball and to real sports commentators. CBS should ditch him before it's too late.
3699 KevinMcGheeNYUSHe is the most despised person in all of sports broadcasting. Please get rid of him.
