Ralph doesn't know how to pronounce Paul Posluszny's last name in the press conference LOL. The guy is going to be writing out a multi-million dollar check to the linebacker and doesn't even know his name.

Anyway, how do you properly pronounce his name?

Pos-Lusz-Ny, is it "lusz" sounds like "bus", or "lusz" sounds like "goose"?

Does anyone other than he and his mother know?

Yeah, Ralph does always look like he's lost his pants or something.

"Marv, did you see where I left my pants?"

That doesn't really answer the question. So does it sound like "buzz" or "mousse"? There are two ways to pronounce LUZ.

I am just glad the man is alive, I don't care if he can't pronounce Bills.

Luz only sounds like moose if you're speaking Spanish.

Sounds like "buzz"

Didn't you watch the draft? They showed him a number of times (once while running on a treadmill). He pronounced it Puz-LUZ-nee. (Luz rhymes with buzz).

Maybe in Wisconsin, but for the rest of the free world, it's the hard "Z" as in buzz. It wouldn't make sense phonetically to spell it out PUZ if it's pronounced like "MOOSE" (not Mousse :limp:). If that were the case, it would have been Puz-LOOZ-Nee
