T0mShane Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Wischusen is an awful, awful homer with the grating voice of an assistant manager at a Walmart. Papa’s game broadcasts are brilliant essays on what is actually happening in the game at any given time in all aspects. There is no comparison. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers9 Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Wischusen is a homer but he's not awful. I haven't listened to Papa enough to have a strong opinion. My impression is he calls a good game but not brilliant. Brilliant essays are like Vin Scully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcat Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 They are both pretty good at their craft. Bob W, however resonates so well when he is excited. My vote is for W. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Wischusen's call. I also like Papa's. Bob W gets me more hyped, but that is probably because I am indifferent to whether the Giants win, lose, play well or play poorly. Not a Giants fan; and that influences the vote here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s subjective, obviously. I prefer the play by play guy to be a no-bullsh*t storyteller as opposed to a hype-man. Papa does an infinitely better job explaining what’s taking place on the field than Wischusen does, imo. If you tune in to a Giants game and they’re down 14 late in the third, you know it and know why because of Papa. Same scenario with the Jets—down 14 in the third—and you’ll get Wischusen screaming and yelling because Enunwa just converted a meaningless third-and-six Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not even close to what you get in most parts of the country. I specifically remember listening to parts of the Cincinnati radio broadcast during the Jets/Bengals Wild Card game in Rex's first year and being shocked at the way they were rooting for the team like a couple of fans. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big difference being Papa has a terrible, dull voice that puts me to sleep. Wischusen's voice may not be optimal, but it certainly isn't dull.

Apache 51 Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 OH, looks and he picked it off, oh wait no he didn't. LOOKS like he made the catch, oh wait his foot out of bounds.

Bruce Harper Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 It is hard to imagine there being a bigger homer than Scott Zolak, the guy who does the color for the Patriots on the radio up here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is the WORST I've ever heard. Worse than Jim Nance's Cheats worship. I hate homer announcers - even when they are for my own team. Zolak blames everyone else , whines when any call is made against the Cheats, never gives any other players credit for any play, etc. He's always wiping his team's bodily fluids off his chin. The only time - too rare - that I can listen to him (when I am starved for sports and there's nothing else on the air when I'm driving home) is when the Cheats are losing: then, hearing him sulk, pout and whine is just pure gravy. Can't wait until they are mediocre again, when Evil Bill and Giselle retire/implode: then, I'll be gleefully hitting the dial. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
