I would have much rather listened to Jonhnson than Rafftery.

I'd rather listen to Vitale than Rafftery. I hope Bill dies a slow and painful death.

Maybe he'll get syphillis from a hooker...........with the kiss!

Well, he did manage to work in the words kiss, stroke, erect, and climax into yesterday's games, so you never know what was going on over there...

All in regards to Dane Bradshaw, I'm sure.

last night's game was made for gus. :sob:
Yes.

That was one of the greatest comebacks in NCAA tournament history, and the finish was amazing. Verne and Raftery did everything they could possibly do to suck all the enjoyment and emotion out of that game.

After listening to two hours of Raftery's grunting, groaning and complete nonsensical analogies I have to say he may well be the worst in all of sports. You know how you do an impersonation of Raftery? You take Vitale's amped up pre-climax, climax masturbatory love of one player for 40 minutes, you throw out some complete reaches for analogies that are so obscure Dennis Miller couldn't even connect the dots, and, for good measure, you bury your schtick in indecypherable grunts and groans that Dan Conner wouldn't even make on a crank phone call bender to Penn State alum.

Raftery somehow has taken all the worst traits of several other bad announcers, and parlayed a 24-some-odd year broadcasting career out of it.

Seriously, who at CBS does he have naked pictures of?

After an evening of Raftery, every call Gus Johnson makes feels like Al Michaels saying, "Do you believe in miracles? Yes!" by comparison.

Bring back Gus. :(

What did I do to you, shit in your birthday cake yesterday?

Thanks for hoping that I get together with a hooker, at least. :biggrin:

Thats what I was wondering about. I can't remember any comeback like that being down by 17 at halftime.

This team reminds me of the national title football team.:osu:

Whoever was the announcer for the Tennessee game needs to tied to a 4 wheeler and drug down a rock covered road... I swear at times the guy was a cross between Shooter Mcgavin "BOOM BABY THERE IT IS" and Marv Alberts "AND THE FOUL" guy was a duesch is what I'm really tryin to say..

Billy Packer is in trouble for using the word "fag" on the Charlie Rose show.

As a punishment for this, I think his new nickname should be "Fudge". :wink2:

newsday

CBS's Packer in hot water over comments

The blogosphere was abuzz Wednesday over comments from CBS analyst Billy Packer, who long has had a reputation for blunt opinionating and occasional political incorrectness.

In an interview Friday night with PBS's Charlie Rose, the host jokingly offered to jump on a plane and come to Atlanta for the Final Four and work as a runner.

"You always fag out on that one for me, you know,'' Packer said, laughing. "You always say, 'Oh, yeah, I'm going to be the runner,' then you never show up.''

Cont'd ...
