Neil Best of Newsday is reporting that Giants radio play-by-play announcer Bob Papa will be taking over
for Bryant Gumbel in calling Thursday night NFL Network games.
Best reports that the new gig will not interfere with Papa’s Giants work or his boxing duties at HBO’s Boxing After Dark.

True Story: circa 2004
I meet Eli Manning at a signing at the Palisades Mall.
Me: "Good luck this weekend E" (as if I've been friends with "E" since we were in Middle School.)
Eli: "Thanks" (or something that sounded like that).
Manning went out that weekend and went 17-37 162 yards 1 TD and 2 INT with a QB Rtg. of 45.1 in his first career NFL start (a loss to the Falcons).
We haven't spoken since.
