Billy Packer Sucks

And to tell you why Billy Packer sucks, I'm going to let blogger Matt May tell you some of the reasons.
The difference is palpable and it's a shame that Majerus won't be around for the tourney. CBS is apparently under the assumption that because Packer is "controversial" people tune in. On the contrary, there is no other outlet for watching the Final Four and, therefore, no choice. It would be interesting to see how many viewers watch Final Four weekend with the mute button super-glued on their remote.
For me, Packer has always been somebody who loves to hear himself talk. He's like Dick Vitale but without a personality. He simply drones on and on about the game and brings zero insight to what I'm watching. He likes to make statements. That's it. No real analysis to explain why he made his statement other than, "Here's what I think."

Hell, I'd rather listen to Vitale. At least he loves the game.

Anybody else want to weigh in on this? Why does Packer suck?
