So "Yo-see-vosh". Cool. I always wondered about the "see" and whether it was more like the "tzee" in pizza. Guess not.
Once people learn it, they'll never forget it. I remember at first a lot of people struggled with Giannis "Antetokounmpo". Around draft-time even Jalen Rose said, "Just call him Po!" But now it rolls off the tongue and we don't think twice about it.

That's 'cause it's ROmanian and they don't have that sound with their letters.

Iosivas, period.
Damn, talk about a hot take!
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.

Nintendo is only where they are today due to timing and having an asshole, cutthroat lawyer as running their business in NA for 20 years.
The quality of their games was NEVER the best in the respective genres, save for maybe Ocarina of Time and they have become a conglomerate based on Nostalgia and Draconian business policies.
There are very, VERY few things in life that I truly hate, but Ninty is one of them and they absolutely do not deserve to be around in their current capacity.

Fair, but they do have some enjoyable games.
I continually find their Mario games are fun, even if they may not be the best platformer out there.
Mario Kart games also have been typically fun to play.

One of my favorite memories was getting a Nintendo when I was a kid with Mario Bros and Duck Hunt...
