"Hate" and "Billy Packer" google search yields 12,800 entries
Google ^ | St. Pat's Day | Diago

Posted on 03/17/2006 9:04:08 PM PST by Diago

Whenever I bring up the name Billy Packer, everyone seems to agree the guy is a bad basketball announcer. This is true whether I am talking to a Duke fan or a Duke hater, a Big Ten fan or an ACC fan, a Big East fan or a SEC fan.

A google search of "hates" and "billy packer" turns up 12,800 entries.

Nobody likes this guy.

It must be CBS. Why does this company insist on forcing upon its viewers personalities people don't like?

It reminds me of the time CBS payed Bryant Gumble millions of dollars to host a morning show that was breaking records for all time lows in viewer ratings.

CBS has to know that viewers can not stand this guy. He has to have a grossly inflated salary. Nobody tunes in to see March Madness to listen to this guy.

Why? Why? Why?

Can someone explain?

What's the result when you enter "hate bryant gumbel"? I'd wager more than poor old Billy.

Is it coincidence that when you rearrange the letters of Billy Packers name, you get "call by piker"?

I searched "hate" and bryant Gumbel - -54,500. Easily trouncing Billy Packer. Now, I'll try dan Rather.

"I searched "hate" and bryant Gumbel - -54,500."

Now that's more like it.

LOL.

You're too much.

Thanks for the laugh.

I'm off to bed for some peaceful sleep.

Another reason not to watch 'V' for Vendetta. Any movie that forces a beautiful chick to shave her head does a disservice to males everywhere.

In all honsety, Sully, I have no idea who she is. And even more sadly - I am being honest here - I do know who Brian Botano is. Now, I do prefer looking at Natalie Portman over Brian Botano and Billy Packer, but the bald thing is now working for me.

Natalie Portman played Queen Padmé Naberrie Amidala in Star Wars I: Attack of the Clones, Star Wars II: Phantom Menace, and Star Wars III: Revenge of the Siths.

Packer has been part of broadcasting college basketball and "The Big Dance" for as long as I can remember. I've never had a problem with him and can't imagine he's said anything controversial enough to make anyone hate him. He's a sports announcer. Geez.

That's not Natalie Portman, it's Laetitia Casta, former Victoria's Secret supermodel, a French export nobody would wish to boycott, and one of the most beautiful women to ever walk this planet:

Do a Google search with Safe Search off for other lovely shots of Ms. Casta.

Snarks,

I won't argue your mind for such interesting information. However, I am innocent by reason of mistaken identity: She looks like a younger Natalie Portman in that picture.

I stand corrected.

Diago, I have no idea what you're talking about but here is Laetitia Casta with a bunny (or some sort of stuffed animal) on her head.
