message: The distinguished moment section at the end needs to be checked out. They are interesting comments. But if we watch a game and hear an insight, should we put that on Wikipedia. That is essentially what is in the distinguished moment part. None of the material is disrespectful, so I do not see an need to remove it. But I question how useful this information is. Packer has had several notable achievements, which have been documented. I would suggest doing some research and using this instead. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nihcus (talk • contribs) 17:05, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

message: In a semi-final game at the 2008 Final Four between Kansas and North Carolina, the Jayhawks jumped out to a 38–12 lead, at which time Billy Packer declared, "This game is over." However, the Tar Heels clawed their way back in the second half, losing by only 4 points to the Jayhawks midway through the second half, though Kansas finished strong to win 84–66. Pundits have noted that this may have been an ominous allusion to Packer's future career as a broadcaster, which was "over" when CBS announced over the summer of 2008 that Clark Kellogg would be taking over the lead color commentary duties.[6]
This should say "…in the second half, trailing by only four points…"  
Also, "to the Jayhawks midway through the second half" is redundant and should be deleted.

message: This summary is unjust. Billy Packer was a brilliant analyst who brought insight and objectivity to his call. The overview should be adjusted toward fairness. 2600:1000:B143:7FFB:A996:4465:F96B:7A82 (talk) 17:14, 28 January 2023 (UTC)
