Billy Packer is no more on CBS……he has decided to depart after 27 years with the network, and 34 Final Fours overall.
Jim Nantz and Clark Kellogg will be the lead announcers on CBS now.
There shall be no detail needed other than those 2 sentences given, as I’m sure you’re drinking in celebration already.
Let me make this clear, he was a good announcer in the 70s and 80s in those classic games I’ve been watching, but ever since he and Nantz worked together, I lost it. It’s 40 minutes of Packer talking, loving Tyler Hansbrough, calling games over in the first half, inaccurate facts and statements, and I think CBS made the right move in parting ways. I’m not a fan of Kellogg’s analysis, but he’s a step up from the poor quality of these broadcasts involving Nantz and Packer.
