Carolina fans, Duke fans, and everyone else agrees that Billy Packer is the biggest a**hole in all of sports. At a Duke game a few years ago, he made out of the way comments about some Duke female students when they asked to see his press pass to get in. They were just doing their job. He made racist comments and call Allen Iverson a "tough little monkey" and started a public feud with the St. Joe's coach. He also insisted that Henderson's foul in the UNC-Duke game was not flagarant and non intentional.
Packer played on a Wake Forest team that made the Final Four, but you would think he won several national titles. Did you hear him in the UNC-Georgetown game. He was clearly rooting for Georgetown. He hates Carolina. He hates Duke. And Tar Heels and Blue Devils stand together for once to say that we hate Billy Packer.
He tries to make himself bigger than the game and roots against Wake's ACC rivals.
Dick Vitale (or Duke Vitale) really roots for Duke, sometimes cheers for UNC, but is generally an all around good guy. He can give good analysis through all the "babies". Give me Dicky V anyday. Nice guy who promotes the game.

Billy Packer has to be the worst announcer in sports. If your team is from the east coast, you're in with him. He'll talk up east coast schools to the point that the only reason they lose is because they played bad and not because the other team played well.
Case in point: the end of the Georgetown - Vanderbilt game. Looking at the replay, Green definitely traveled. (Heck, if I get an extra step on my pivot I'm a heck of a shooter, too!). Billy's take: they COULDN'T have called traveling in that case because it would have affected the outcome of the game. Well, DUH Billy. He traveled and it wasn't called, but to say it couldn't have been called because of the situation is completely asinine. He's got a TON of other completely stupid "explanations" of why east coast schools win in those kinds of situations.
While Dickie V is annoying, and he does openly root for certain teams, he isn't completely stupid the way Billy Packer is.

Is death an option here? Packer acts like he knows more than everyone else. Vitale adds absolutely no information to the broadcast.
I'll take Jay Bilas.

I think Billy Packer is an undercover racist. When are we going to get rid of him?
