Today was the first time Greg Papa had his show on Bay Area Radio station 95.7 The Game since the day it was revealed he would not be returning as the radio play-by-play voice for the first time in 21 years. He and Tom Flores will be replaced by Brent Musburger and Lincoln Kennedy.
There had been a lot of speculation as to why the team made the change now. Papa told of how the story began and just how much of a long time coming his firing was.
As Papa explains, it stemmed from nearly four years ago, when it was revealed Mark Davis interviewed Mike Shanahan of all people for the team’s vacant head coaching position.
