Papa goes national

July
16

Giants radio broadcaster Bob Papa is replacing Bryant Gumbel as the NFL Network’s play-by-play man for the station’s eight Thursday night games.

Papa will be paired with Cris Collinsworth, who worked with Gumbel for the last two years.

Papa will continue to be the Giants’ radio announcer.

“Being the new play-by-play voice on prime-time national NFL games after announcing one of the most exciting games in NFL history, Super Bowl 42, it doesn’t get much better than that,” Papa said.

Information from the Associated Press was used in this report.
