Packer sucked, but it was the only thing worth a crap at times and commercial breaks were offset some of my other channels.

Face it...he was HORRIBLE. He'd get on a schtick and run it into the ground. Varmint? Inside joke crap? Call-in personalities substituting content? The best parts of the show where when Mushin and Beason would actually talk shop. The college stupidity was over the top.

QCB is a waste. Whiner-line became more the "call-in personalities" line.

Move Rozinski there so we can hear some good Charlotte talk on that channel here in Raleigh in that time slot.

Packer will never have it as good as he did at WFNZ.

His shtick was tired but it got him listeners.

Packer's sports knowledge was nothing to brag about. His formula for success was to surround himself with imbecilic sycophants who'd laugh at everything he said and say stuff themselves that was so ignorant it made you shake your head. It made him look smart by comparison.

Likewise he'd take - and encourage - calls from listeners who'd fawn over him and then say something just as dumb or dumber than the stuff his inner circle of clowns was saying. All the while, he sat in the middle of it saying mostly nothing of any substance but acting like he was the smartest kid in the class.

Basically, he made himself the ringmaster in a circus of stupidity, all of which was designed to make him look smarter than he really was. On his own (alleged) talent, without his dad's name, I wonder if he's ever even have gotten a job in radio. The only thing he really has going for him is a good radio voice and better English skills than Frank and Buck.

I think Buck is very good, especially at baseball.

Packer was useless in every sense of the word.

Buck is very good, I agree. He does admit that he wouldn't be here if it weren't for his old man. I remember him saying that in an interview years back, that he is guilty of nepotism at its finest.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
