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.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      Everyone knew the catch was secured and didn't move. That was clear to the entire audience. The only ones who thought it wasn't a catch were in the NYC home office. They knew they'd just offer an apology the next day.

      Canales is holding us back

      By RumHam · Posted

      NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
