FireDaboll

It’s obvious Papa and Banks work for the Giants. Get into the serious stuff and stop talking about things that don’t matter to fans. Talk about the talent gap, who needs to be let go and why. The fans want news not rehashed old talk about effort and excuses. The Giants stink and its coaching and talent. Talk about it please

Bob and Carl are consummate professionals calling the Giants radio broadcasts. They call it straight, aren’t “homers”, and make you feel like you’re hanging with them watching the game. The podcast gives them the ability to drill down into the key topics of conversation surrounding the Giants. Carl gives the deep knowledge, player perspective while Bob adds more of the fan view (though Carl shares that too, especially when the Twitter feed is blowing up, aka every other week). This is a must listen for every true Blue Giants fan, and is easy to listen to for opposing team fanbases as well.
