"Bob has more than 16 years of play-by-play experience," said Mike Thomas, Vice President of Programming for CBS Radio Boston, in a statement. "We were impressed with his extensive work and expertise calling various football and baseball games, and he's a local guy with great knowledge of the Patriots. No doubt, Bob has big shoes to fill, but we are excited about this new era of play-by-play with Bob and Scott."
