Giants’ Radio Team Ranks Low in Fan Poll Amid Mixed Reviews

NEW YORK, NY – Just when it seemed things couldn’t get much worse for the New York Giants, their radio broadcast team of Bob Papa and Carl Banks has landed in the bottom third of a new fan-based poll. Awful Announcing recently surveyed fans on their favorite NFL broadcast teams, and the Giants duo ranked 27th out of 32 teams.

Bob Papa, the Giants’ play-by-play announcer since 1995, and Carl Banks, a former Giants linebacker and analyst since 2007, received a mixed reception from the 173 voters. The duo garnered nearly as many “F” grades (51) as “A” grades (54), with overall grades suggesting divided opinions on their performance.

While some voters praised Papa and Banks’ knowledge and chemistry, others expressed dissatisfaction. The comments included in the survey reflected a range of opinions, further highlighting the divisive nature of their broadcast style.

The Green Bay Packers’ radio team of Wayne Larrivee and Larry McCarren topped the poll, followed by the Arizona Cardinals’ Dave Pasch and A.Q. Shipley and the New York Jets’ Bob Wischusen and Anthony Becht. Former Giants offensive tackle Lomas Brown, now part of the Detroit Lions’ broadcast team, ranked fifth.

The poor ranking adds to a difficult season for the Giants, both on and off the field. It remains to be seen whether the feedback from the poll will lead to any changes in the broadcast team’s approach in the future.
