Hey, Look at Me. I Finally Came up With a Catch Phrase.



Billy Packer has been the lead college basketball analyst at CBS for as long as I can remember, which means his old-man surliness is as much a part of the Final Four as say Luther Vandross' One Shining Moment. And, oh, what memories Packer's given us. There was that one time, for instance, when he called Allen Iverson a "tough monkey." And that other time when two Duke co-eds asked to see his press pass at Cameron Indoor Stadium, and he said, "Since when do we let women control who gets into a men's basketball game. Why don't you find a women's game to let people in." And now the gem above. According to one random internet dictionary, there is a non-homophobic definition for "fag out," but the Internet says a lot of things. So, let me join the fray: Billy Packer's a homophobe, a misogynist, a racist, and a biased analyst. Put him out to pasture already, CBS, and give his job to Bill Raftery.

no, let's just discuss charlie rose and his penchant for young asian lasses and pilfering other people's roast chickens.

also, i believe the "wtf" tag is advised for this post.

Well, I went with the more specific "creepy dude" tag. I was thinking "wtf," but then I realized 99% of my posts fall in that category. Btw, did you see the Unethicist--Gawker reference!!!--the other day; he's taken to writing "wtfuck." Brilliant.
