Months ago, we were pleased to hear of the departure of Bryant Gumbel from NFL Network broadcasts. Now we find out about his replacement. Bob Papa will be the new play by play man in the booth next to Chris Collingsworth.
Being a life-long Washingtonian, I don't know Papa. Maybe our friend Bob can give us more insight on him. I do have to say it would be tough for Papa to be worse than Bryant Gumbel. Gumbel was just not tolerable. while Papa is a Giants broadcaster, at least he's not a Cowboy or Eagles puppet. Sorry, that's all I can say about the man. We'll see on November 6, which is his first NFL Network game.

Pappa also does some play by play on HBO for Boxing After Dark. He's not bad and a huge upgrade!
