Proof of God

Ben Franklin said it was beer. I say it is this clip in which Billy Packer declines Charlie Rose's invitation to be a "runner" for Packer at the Final Four. Packer says to Rose, "You always fag out on me", and he says it with the enunciation and clarity you'd expect from a veteran broadcaster.



My first thought is that I've never heard "fag out" used to mean "flake out". That's not even part of the gay stereotype. I think we're all the big winners here, because if Jimmy Kimmel can spread the word to sports radio this should blow up into a pretty big controversy. They'll have a hard time sweeping it under the rug after Hardaway's comments.

Also, I think this means Packer has to stop referring to Jim Nantz as Nantzyboy.
