It's March Madness time. Everyone's primed and ready for some serious controversy. I'll scratch them where they itch. |
| Music |
Milli Vanilli |
| Movies |
"Space Jam", "Slam Dunk Ernest", and "Air Bud". Kids these days have no respect, or skills. Frankly, the current game of basketball makes me freaking sick. That's why these movies excite me. I'd love to see Bugs Bunny or Golden Retriever line one up from the baseline one day. One day, my friends. |
| Television |
I don't own a TV. |
| Books |
Nothing out there really impresses me. I read Krzyzewski's book about the "5 Point Play" or something and though it was absolute trash.

| Status: | Male |
| Orientation: | Straight as an arrow. My generation doesn't tolerate anything less. |
| Hometown: | Charlotte, North Carolina |
| Body type: | Let's not talk about it. Some of the Cameron Crazies chanted about my "loose skin" and "old balls" during last year's ACC Championship. That couldn't be further from the truth. |
| Ethnicity: | American as apple pie. My wife makes some good pie. |
| Religion: | Basketball and controversy |
| Zodiac Sign: | Pisces |
| Smoke / Drink: | 4 glasses of prune juice a day keeps me regular. |
| Children: | I have 2 beautiful young boys - Mark and Brandt, both in television. I couldn't be more proud. |
| Income: | I earn a decent living, but there's no monetary value you can place on stiring the pot and have EVERYONE in the office talking about you the next day. Jesus, I love it. |

About me:
Greeting my fellow basketball fans. My name is William Graham Packer - Billy Packer for short. I think "William Graham" is more professional, but my agent thought it would be a good idea to go with the friendlier "Billy" on air...you know, since I'm really a pompous prick.
Some of my greatest documented contrived controversies...
1.- Allen Iverson Comment
In 1996, during an on-air broadcast of a game between Georgetown and Villanova, I described the then Hoyas star guard, Allen Iverson, as a "tough monkey". I later apologized, insisting I was actually trying to praise Iverson's relentless play. Haha. People love racism. They can't get enough of it. You know what that means? More Packer face time on the tele.
2.- Duke, Duke, and more Duke
 In 2000, I had to publicly apologize to two female Duke University students for allegedly sexist comments I made before a men's basketball game in Cameron Indoor Stadium. When the two broads asked me to show my press pass (as if they didn't know who I was), I responded, "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?" That was pretty clever, if I do say so myself. Nantz thought it was hilarious too. We both slept on our respective couches for the remainder of the month though.
3.- Phil Martelli: Stupid Italian
In 2004, I did an interview with Saint Joseph's University head coach Phil Martelli. On air, I openly questioned the #1 seed that St. Joe's was given by the NCAA committee. That's just good journalism: plain and simple. Ask the questions. Martelli's Hawks ended up being defeated one game short of the Final Four. I think that proved my point. One point Packer...zero points Martelli
4.- The Mid-Major Phenomenon
In 2006, I again hit sports headlines after blasting the inclusion of mid-major teams in the NCAA tournament, when larger conference teams like University of Cincinnati and Florida State University were left out altogether. Pure crap. Hundreds of radio and television stations had me on air that week to explain myself...but I'll stick by my claims.

Just know that I'm only your friend because I'm contractually obligated. Sometimes I hate CBS. Would it kill you to help me come up with some puns once in a while?

Hey Pack Attack!!!
What's the word brother??? Thanks for adding me as a friend. I know times are tough right now. Sometime it feels like the world is against you. Parcells won't talk to you, T.O. pissed in your locker again...it's happened to me. What's important is that you turn the other cheek, and hang out with me - the starting QB of the Dallas Cowboys.

I heard what you said, William-
"I think the losses should go to Krzyzewski..."
Have you ever looked a kid in the eyes and felt completely at ease with your life, knowing that you've given him everything you've got...and know that he feels the same way about you?
Yea, I didn't think so. Think about THAT the next time you open your big, fat, disgusting, mouth.
