So I decide that I need a footie fix on Saturday night. I proceed to invoke the power of MLSlive.tv to drop in on the Red Bulls-Revs match, when what to my wondering ears should appear, but some halftime bimbette on MSG (read as: Red Bulls TV) narrating the highlights of the United-Crew match.
Almost immediately, she pulls off a Christian Miles-esque "Nahm-off", and follows it up with a disastrous "Jay-mee Muh-reh-no". This, not 30 seconds after she successfully pulled off Alejandro Moreno, getting both first and last name pronounced correctly. YEARGGGHHH!!
It's almost enough to make you question motivation. Would Red Bulls TV have so little ammunition that they resort to mispronunciation to get one over on their "rivals"? Would they be so pathetic? Well, they do employ Shep Messing, whose grinning visage adorns a little box next to the word pathetic in Webster's Lexicon of American Soccer (cross-referenced with Crotchety Old "Hey you kids, get off my lawn" No-Talent Hack), so who knows . . .
