Billy Packer is out at CBS and fans worldwide are rejoicing. The reason is simple. He sucked. No one likes to hear a joyless old man trying to act like he is the god to college basketball announcing games like he needs two cases of Ex-Lax.
Billy Packer is the exact opposite of what a good announcer should be. He is pompous and arrogant and treats the viewers are idiots. Now many of those viewers' maybe idiots but it is the announcer job to break down the game in a way that even an idiot would understand as oppose to speak down to the viewer (see: Hubie Brown).
Clark Kellogg is taking his place and while I would have much preferred Gus Johnson (if you want to know why watch the video below) I have no issue with Kellogg. To be honest they could have just put a cardboard cut out up and it would have been more entertaining than Packer. Good riddance.
love gus

yay baby
Thank god. This is like 20 years too late
