I've been waiting for this news for some time! Thank god we won't ever have to hear about how some dude from the 1948 Army team could have handled Shaq or whatever.

If only Fox and Tim McCarver could come to the same kind of agreement.

No offense to Billy, but I think he made it this long based on some sort of old-timer mystique or aura.

I really don't think he ever displayed much helpfulness or insight during b'ball games. He travelled a heck of a long way on the momentum generated by partnering so many years with maybe the greatest of all time, Al McGuire. Rest his soul. McGuire was truly a joy to listen to.

This site shows there are a lot of people who agree:
