Billy Packer is unbelievably clueless....

First, he claims that Henderson was going for the ball.

Now, he just claimed that Oden inadvertently nails Brewer in the gut with an elbow.

Billy - when a guy is looking at where on the floor his target is, it isn't an accident.

What a dolt.

I am watching the game with the sound off. How deeply hated does a guy have to be before they yank him off the air? No redeeming qualities whatsoever.

I should have done the same, but I must be a glutton for punishment.

I think Packer is like a tenured professor; he can say anything he wants and will always have a job.

You missed Packer saying Oden should be the tournaments most outstanding player, eventhough before tonight he averaged 13 and 9.

Why doesn't it surprise me that he said that?

We ought to set him up with Dicky V. I heard him the other night campaigning that foul limits be done away with. The players should be allowed to have a limitless number of fouls . After a player gets 7 personal fouls, the other team gets 2 shots plus the ball. Riiiiight.

Did Dickie V mean unlimited fouls for all college players or just those that play at Duke?

I'm not sure. He was wearing this big, scary blue mask, so I couldn't really see his eyes to read his expression. That, and the big blue foam finger he was waving was distracting me.

Dick Vitale used to be the best color guy out there (about 20 years ago) because of his enthusiasm and impartiality. Those days are loooooooong gone.
