As most of you know I live outside of Boston so there is little to no coverage of Bills football here. Which is fine I have no problems going to the bars to watch games etc. But what tends to happen is that because I never here players names or anything I develop the habit of pronouncing them wrong.
For example.... Takeo Spikes for some reason years ago I think its Jerome Bettis' fault but I started calling Ta-key-o... Ta-Kay-o. So thats what I call my dog too I just cant get it in my head to say it right when I have done it wrong for so long. Also JP Losman, its seems the proper way to pronounce Losman is Lo-sman where I pronounce it Lossman(which sounds more normal BTW).


This happen to anyone else?

You're pronouncing Losman (think Las Vegas or Los Angeles) correctly, as far as I know. Perhaps the Boston media is incorrectly giving it the long O.

NFL network called him Losman, with a hard O as well as Madden.

yeah, you're right on that one, it's Lassman, or at least how everyone here says it.

Just proves they don't know s**t, of which we are all very aware.

Yes, the Boston media (WEEI 850AM) pronounces the long "o." Smerlas is on there occasionally, and he pronounces the long "o" as well. E****** idiot.

Right after JP was drafted, mentioned in an article that people always say it wrong with the long O. It really is Lahs-man.
The only person I've heard say Losman on NFLN is the guy in the commercial who says "JP Losman is the reincahnation of Kenny Stablah."
... the guy is most famous for "Nice pick Cowah."

The funny part is that he, too, is a NEer.

Pete Shepard on WEEI is a proud graduate of the Connecticut School of Broadcasting...which means he's lucky to be able to pronounce his own name. Ever hear him try to say "John Halama?"

Speaking of Pete, I can't wait to hear that fat bag of fart gas cry like a baby with a load in his diaper when the Bills lay the samck down on Team Perfect. The same goes for that hairy traitor Fred Smerlas.

btw...I live in NH.

Manchester...I'm surprised you still like Smerlas considering how much he insults the Bills, and especially Marv Levy and Ralph Wilson, on WEEI. I can't believe he has so much hate for a team that honored him by putting his name on the wall at RWS. I don't see his name at Gillette Stadium. That doesn't stop him from being the 2nd biggest Patriot ballwasher, next to Pete "I wanna be Tom Brady's girlfriend" Shepard.
