to her defense, it's a courtesy to make sure the name is spelled right etc so when she sends that feed to the local stations, the transponder doesn't blow the guys name up. She has been doing this since 94.

EXACTLY! This is standard journalistic practice.

You know the goalie from the Olympic soccer team and world cup, Brianna Scurry? Her name is pronounced Bry(like "dry")anna. And people still get it wrong.

If I were interviewing him, I'd intentionally mispronounce his name later to get back at him.

In his defense there's this crazy thing called the internet nowadays.

Lazy journalist with no buisness covering a sport she knows nothing about and obviously wants to do no research on.

its SOP del to get the name EXACTLY right. The way you do that is you umm, get them to say it so there is less room for error.

Kinda like when you are at a bar hammered and to make sure you get the chicks ph# correct, you get HER to write down her info.

I'm sure the sideline person has copious amounts of time between events to go online and do search and then crank it out to affiliates all over the US. Then you get an intern who is playing Halo while at the station in Needles CA and could care less about this kid and some producer who is doing blow to maintain his energy and he is so tweaked he can't take time out to double proofread the name.

First time it has to be right.

      Canales is holding us back

      I don't think Dave touches the defense. That might be a mark against him but definitely a huge red flag for evero. He refuses to run anything other than soft zone and when you don't get pressure that's an awful scheme

      You don't have to convince me. I think not picking up the option should absolutely be firmly on the table but I just do not see Tepper and Morgan doing that for previously stated reasons. Therefore I'm not going to bother entertaining the notion. Just hoping we actually get real viable competition. If that doesn't happen at the minimum then my perception of that is complete and utter professional malpractice.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By Bama Panther · Posted

      It was absolutely a catch, and I can’t believe how many folks were stating, before the NFL’s apology, that the overturn was the right call.  The ultimate question in this case is this: can a player complete a catch with only one hand? Of course, we all know the answer to that question, and it is an emphatic “Yes.” T-Mac maintained complete control with one hand (believe it was the right) while the other came off when the ball hit the ground. The ball was in the same position in the one hand (watch T-Mac’s fingers in relation to the NFL shield on the ball) after touching the ground as it was when it first went to the ground. Going back to the question above, if one hand can establish control, then there was no need for the other to stay on the ball, so long as the ball doesn’t move in that one hand that stays on it   It blew my mind that they overturned this in the first place. This should not be a “We got it wrong on the replay because there wasn’t clear and convincing evidence.” This should have been, “That was absolutely a catch.”
