Schiavo Billy Packer

That just really works as a verb, no?

Anyway, if you are asking yourself why in the hell humorless imbecile Billy Packer called like his 50th straight Final Four this weekend, please refer to the link at right entitled Fire Billy Packer Petition. It's already gotten quite a few signatures (in the neighborhood of 1200). Please join along.

To cite just one recent example of Packer idiocy, Patrick Sparks was yelling "Take that, motherfucker!" at Packer when he hit the three that sent the UK-MSU regional final into OT (Packer had made a big deal about the refs no-calling a Sparks travel at a critical point in an SEC tourney game). But when asked about it, Packer said that Sparks had probably said, "I made that shot for you."

Kind of like the time Packer denied calling Duke coeds stupid bitches and then "remembered" when confronted with evidence. (Yeah, I'm playing the gender subordination card. Deal with it. Catherine McKinnon is a great hero of mine anyway, and you know it.)

The Pope must diet!!
