Barkley calls Billy Packer a jackass

Guyism - Charles Barkley has been focusing his rants lately on the Miami Heat and their struggles. But he took time last night to address some of the comments former CBS broadcaster Billy Packer made to USA Today about the new tournament TV format. If you recall, last year, Turner Broadcasting announced a partnership with CBS to air tournament games across three of their stations. Packer thinks that the lack of knowledge from some of the NBA crew, like Barkley, will hurt the tournament in the long run.
Needless to say, Barkley didn’t waste time responding to Packer calling him a jackass and telling him to shut the hell up. A sentiment that is shared by many. 

More Barkley is just more better.  NCAA basketball fans should be excited for Barkley and the TNT crew to get their hands on the NCAA Tournament.  They are the best in the business.  They might not know the NCAA as much as some other people, but they really know basketball and will tell it like is.  I mean we have known Billy Packer was a jackass for years and nobody has said it, and Barkley got that out of the way before the first NCAA telecast.

PS - It is inevitable that somebody gets pissed off because Barkley criticizes an "amateur" athlete too harshly and Barkley won't apologize for it.  I can't wait.
