I despise it too. Absolute cringe every time.

I'm a fan of Papa. I like him on the radio more than as an announcer for the 49ers but I also think Ryan kind of drags him down there honestly.

Why does he feel the need to say it that way? It's so annoying. Otherwise he's pretty good as an announcer

Trying to differentiate from "Touchdown 49ers!" Which was infinitely better.

He explained hs reason for going with that call because he wanted to have something different. He didn't want to imitate previous announcers. The 49ers have had several ove rhte years so his options were limited. He also didn't want it to be like his signature call in Oakland. I think his heart is still with the Raiders which is understandable.

No I mean the whole "keeeew" pronunciation. Nobody says San Francisco that way

Ryan is pretty bad. If they could find the football version of Jim Barnett to partner with Papa it would be a better match.

I prefer Starkey and Robinson as announcers.
But I like that Papa knows the game more than Robinson.
