According to Neil Best of Newsday, Giants play-by-play man Bob Papa will be the man to replace Bryant Gumbel in the NFL Network booth for Thursday and Saturday night football games. Gumbel took himself off play-by-play earlier this year.
This is a good move if it proves to be true. Papa has been calling the Giants on radio since 1995.
Gumbel did play-by-play for the first two seasons of NFL Network games and came under heavy criticism for his inexperience in calling games.
