Billy Packer
Why isn't this one of the biggest sports stories in America right now? CBS's basketball analyst just drops the "f-bomb" on the air days before the championship game and no one picks up the story? This is bizarre. I mean, shouldn't he be entering rehab or something for his "anger" issues?
Oh, by the way, this isn't exactly the first time Mr. Packer has used a poor choice of words. In 1996, he apparently referred to then-Georgetown player Allen Iverson as a "tough monkey." In 2000, after a female Duke student asked to see his press pass before allowing him into a Duke basketball game, he allegedly said, "Since when do we let women control who gets into a men's basketball game? Why don't you go find a women's game to let people into?"
Comments about blacks, women, and gays -- Packer now has the trifecta.

The terrible thing is that he's broadcast every single final four and championship game since 1975! So we've never been able to hear anyone else on those games, and there are many better options out there!
