That’s right, the fear of having to hear the legendary touchdown call from Greg Papa of “TOUCHDOWN RRRRRRRRAIDERS!” bastardized to fit the cross town rival 49ers is coming to fruition. Papa had already joined the 49ers as part of the pregame broadcast team for the 2018 season, but now he has been elevated to being the Voice of the 49ers as their game day play by play announcer going forward.
Last year there was an unceremonious uncoupling of the Oakland Raiders and Greg Papa that left many fans unhappy. Sorry, but Brent Musburger just wasn’t going to cut it when you’ve already had a guy who was ingrained as part of the organization like Papa had been.
