Greg Papa

Gregory Charles Papa (born 1962) He is an American sportscaster working in the San Francisco Bay Area. He has been broadcasting for the Oakland Raiders, Oakland Athletics, Golden State Warriors and San Francisco Giants.

He is best known as the radio play-by-play caller for the Raiders and the host of Chronicle Live on CSN Bay Area. He and Garry St. Jean do the in-studio analysis for all the Golden State Warriors regular season games on CSN Bay Area. He also hosts The Afternoon Delight mid-days on 95.7 The Game, a FM Bay Area radio station. He is not related to New York Giants radio broadcaster, Bob Papa. Papa is a three-time California Sportscaster of the Year Award winner.

After graduating from Syracuse University, Papa was a member of the Indiana Pacers' television and radio broadcasting team from 1984 to 1986. Then, he moved west and from 1986 to 1997, he was the radio announcer for the Golden State Warriors (including the famous "Sleepy Floyd Game," where Warrior Sleepy Floyd scored 51 points against the Lakers in a playoff game). From 1997 to 2000, Papa became the lead announcer on the San Antonio Spurs telecasts. During this span, he was also the television play-by-play announcer for the Oakland A's with Ray Fosse from 1991 to 2003.

Papa is the current play-by-play announcer for the Raiders on KGMZ 95.7 FM radio, alongside his color commentator, former Raider coach Tom Flores. His work is very much in the tradition of his predecessor, Bill King. Like King, his touchdown calls are punctuated by "TOUCHDOWN, RRRRAID-ERS!!!" Papa's best calls to date arguably are: Tyrone Wheatley's 26-yard run in the Raiders 1999 finale against the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium ("Wheatley won't go down!!!") along with describing the events during the Tuck Rule game, when the Raiders seemingly had won a 2001 playoff game during a snow storm at New England after forcing a late fumble, only to see referee Walt Coleman reverse the call after consulting instant replay. The Patriots went on to win the historic, controversial contest in overtime.
