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.

    • Don't have to be miss cleo. His weakness are length, athleticism, creating his own shot, defense, finishing at the rim,  Strengths - shooting and IQ.   Likely won't work as non athletic shooters don't typically work.

    • I live in Indiana and took a trip that weekend to watch my two friend's teams play (Chiefs and Vikings) IN Minnesota when they were playing at a college field, I think TCF? Anyways, our plan was to watch the game (noon game) then do some shopping at the Mall of America, I wasn't planning on watching the Panthers play Seattle since I was out sight seeing and walking around after the noon game had ended. By the time we were walking back into the Mall the Panthers were down by 2 scores in the 4th or going into the 4th and we were all thirsty from walking around for 2.5 hours after the Vikings game so we decided to postpone shopping until after we ate. We found this nice little sports bar inside the mall that had the game on. Man, I'm so glad we skipped shopping because that was probably the most excited I've been in some time for a win. Beating Seattle in 2015 felt like the "monkey off the back" sort of feeling and I knew we had finally arrived as a team. The entire bar erupted when Cam hit Olsen for that walk off TD. Literally one of the greatest moments of my life. My friend wasn't so happy though lol, by the time the Panthers game ended ALL of the stores inside the mall had closed and he wasn't able to get any souvenirs. It was his first time watching a Vikings game live and making a trip like that so he was legit upset lol. I on the other hand couldn't have been happier.
