If there’s one thing we learned from the inagural Billy Packer Chronicles, it’s this… maybe we need to be doing this every week for the NBA. That’s because Turner’s Charles Barkley opened up an enormous lead this week thanks to his all-around stellar performance in the studio. His winning quote from the Sweet 16 may in fact be my favorite in the past year. Reggie Miller is tied for second with Clark Kellogg, who is the only one with a realistic chance to catch Sir Charles. We’ll have one poll for Final Four weekend, so there’s still a chance for Clark if he does his homework and takes notes while watching Food Network the rest of this week. The envelope please…
