Todd McShay

haha, i noticed that too, and i thought for a second maybe i was saying it wrong... i mean it is espn, and they are the standard aren't they?

 
I still pronounce it HEY-loo soemtimes, even though it's supposedly more like Huh-LOO?

I remember the TV announcers for the VT game mentioned something about the pronunciation of his name, but don't recall what it was.

It's not a straightforward name to pronounce by any means.

 
Remember how many times announcers flubbed Suh's first name? I wonder how many classes these guy had to attend to learn how to properly say his name.

 
I pronounce is HE-loo

I don't care how he pronounces it though because I still like McShay. Smart guy.

 
Who cares? I have mispronounced tons of players' names before, including our own. It took me two years to figure out how Amukamura (sp?) was pronounced, and I used to say "HEY-loo" as well.

Took me awhile to get Ndamukong's name down, so I just always called him Suh until I could do it right.

I love his name though, simply for the pleasure it brings me to see sports analysts screw it up.
