Wait, in the same year that saw the downfall of Isiah Thomas, the Jayhawks winning the NCAA tourney, and the Cubs in first place, I now get the joy of my arch-nemesis [Billy Packer,](http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=3485871) getting the boot from the Final Four coverage. Good lord, I am about as close to sporting nirvana as I can imagine without involving Erin Andrew, Stacey Dales, and Jennie Finch on a desert island.
