Billy Packer out at CBS Sports

Billy Packer was let go from CBS Sports as lead analyst of college basketball sitting alongside Jim Nantz. (Read the AP story here.)
This is bittersweet news.
Sweet because I thought Packer came across as arrogant and overconfident and I disagreed with many of his views. I thought there were many CBS teams who called the game better than Nantz and Packer (more on that later)
Bitter because he is replaced by Clark Kellogg. Kellogg comes across a bit clueless and gutless in the studio. Not willing to tell it like it is and seems a bit lacking in knowledge despite being a former player, often stating the obvious.
