Billy Packer, who died Thursday at 82, helped remind us that the sports world had gone — and remains — nuts.
Not sure he’d have chosen it as part of his legacy, but Billy Packer,, helped remind us that the sports world had gone — and remains — nuts. No bottom in sight on which to bottom out.
Packer — his opinion solicited due to his job-description, fame and by his cooperative, talkative, utterly convinced nature — said that Saint Joe’s, due to its conference and schedule, was placed a bit too high. Born Anthony William Paczkowski and the son of Lehigh’s basketball coach, Packer called 34 NCAA Tournament finals. But he was a weekday businessman, a deal-maker first.
Thursday morning, for example, they chatted about vaginas, spoken with crude expressions that would have 13-year-olds sent to the principal’s office.When the conversation made a sudden turn to the latest from makes-bad-worse Jimmy Dolan, they welcomed former WFAN colleague Maggie Gray.in supporting the complaints of sexually abused women despite the Garden’s loss of $11.
In that case, she must’ve missed all the low vagina talk that just preceded her, or ignored it in exchange for the attention.
