Giants Fans, What Am I Missing? (1 Viewer)

OK, with the knowledge I realize this guy is well respected and you don't get to be the lead man on a major US city team without being a good broadcaster - let alone a Sirius NFL Radio guy, an NFLN guy, etc. - Papa just does not do it for me. He lacks a sense of pop for me (name pun NOT intended). Granted I listen to a pretty good lead man in Jeff Joniak (Bears), I'm an NFL fan and like lots of broadcasters I listen to on Sirius provided local broadcasts as well as a handful of network guys and I just don't think Bob is all that exciting.

What the hell am I missing? Is it his boothmates on NFLN Thursday night broadcasts? (I really don't think so)...G-men fanatics, I am not flaming your guy. I am asking you what I'm missing. Do not take this the wrong way and kill me.

In 2002 he found his play by play calling.

He can't make Theisman and Millen seem brilliant, he can't make a Harvard professors seem dumb but he could probably seamlessly blend in with both.

He's hancuffed by hos boothmates. Overall, when I listen to him (especially on Sirius), I find him to be one of the few people that will just get straight to a point and discuss it without spewing 5 minutes of superlatives followed by back peddling.

I like him a lot. He's a calm rudder in the sports analyst sea.

Papa us the only, and I mean only, thing keeping me from going insane.
