That's a tough call, and probably a more accurate barometer of where a broadcaster stands on the scale between objectivity and homerism.

Greg Papa, the radio voice of the Raiders, hasn't shied away from knocking coaching decisions during the course of a game. This season, he knocked then-coach Lane Kiffin for having Sebastian Janikowski try a 76-yard field goal against San Diego. Papa criticized Kiffin's decision not to call a timeout in the final minute against Buffalo, allowing the Bills to kill the final minute before kicking the winning field goal.

He criticized interim head coach Tom Cable's fake field-goal play that led to a loss to the Chiefs.

Al Davis seems to be the NFL's biggest micromanager, but Papa said, "He's never once criticized a thing I've said on the air."

When KNBR talk-show host Gary Radnich said this season that Papa would never criticize Raiders management, Papa immediately called the show to rebut the point.

"He was questioning my credibility," Papa said. "Believe me, I have tremendous respect for Al Davis, but if the organization does something that I'm not on board with, I will criticize them. I won't do it during the course of a game - it's just not the time - but during a talk show."

When Davis traded coach Jon Gruden to Tampa Bay in 2002 for four high draft picks and $8 million, Papa criticized the move on a talk show. "I felt that Jon was that valuable to the team at that time," he said. "I thought it was a mistake."
