Kaenon Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 ... messing up names even more terribly than usual. It's like the first time he's ever seen these names when he reads the cards! He'll be okay with Caleb Williams, Brock Bowers, Marvin Harrison Jr., and Joe Alt - but can you imagine the comedy of errors with: - Taliese Fuaga - Olumuyiwa Fashanu - Troy Fautanu - Laiatu Latu - Kingsley Suamataia 🍿 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAl2526 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 The only one that would give me trouble is Olumuyiwa Fashanu's first name. My undergrad degree was in vocal music. I learned to sing in multiple languages phonetically. Then I went to seminary and became a church pastor for forty years. I've read a whole bunch of weird names in the Bible on Sunday mornings. You get used to it. When in doubt, go with phonetics. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends which side of Detroit chooses to attend… The rambunctious crowd are definitely capable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My notes say this was an Aramaic phrase. I don't know if there are many people that know how to speak Aramaic from 2000 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Goodell is such a clown. I hope when he bear hugs one of the draftees his back goes out in him and he falls to the stage and they have to cart him off on a gurney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
