Meh. If we get some mop up time, I hope we see the TV crew mis-state Beathard to Pekar.

Where's Zabel when we need him? I actually clicked on this thread to how to pronounce Peter Pekar's name. Suppose the announcers will ever make any mention to pickled peppers?

luh-SEANA? Also been saying our WR name kuh-VON-tay. After 3 years, it's probably too late for me to try to change.

I dont think this is something Dolph gets for games.

The official roster actually has a 'pronunciation guide' that you can click on where a voice will pronounce the name.
