Packer could annoy, but he was almost always right
By Lenox Rawlings
Winston-Salem Journal
On a set full of blown-dry airheads and shameless network shills, Billy Packer always stood out. He was a basketball analyst who actually analyzed the game.
That talent probably doesn't hold much lingering appeal at CBS, which has waved goodbye to Packer after 27 seasons. Packer also plans to quit working ACC games.
CBS will replace Packer with Clark Kellogg, who usually needs 50 words to dance around an issue and seems quite comfortable restating the obvious, often using a silly synonym followed by a self-congratulatory cackle.
