Billy Packer didn't sound like a man who found out his 34-year run as part of the Final Four broadcast had ended. On Monday, CBS announced that Clark Kellogg would replace Packer after 27 years as the network's lead college basketball analyst. Including his earlier years at NBC, Packer had done every Final Four since 1975, an unparalleled run for a national sports championship. (link)
