If Erickson doesn't make the team, its bullshit. Period.

Not a good 2nd half at all.
Hard to watch.

BTW, Canadiens are just as guilty.

Take Pavel Bure for example.

His last name was pronounced B-oo-ray in Russia, but in B.C they pronounced it B-your-ay.

Maybe they are all just depressed about Ced's arm.

Yeah i'm sure that's it.

No blocking at all.

Beyond the shadow of a doubt, you are correct.

But I'm an Italian Canadian lol

I'm not perfect, because I do make mistakes from time to time, but I do my best to pronounce names properly, in their proper, ethnic ways.

Agree.

Nothing like a preseason injury to put the fear in some players.  Don't want to also get hurt in a preseason game.

It's pretty sad. Where do they get these scrubs?  These guys look like they've never even played football before.

I didn't know there was such a thing.

I always thought it was just Canadien, French-Canadien, or Newfie (sp?)

I learned something new today!

Nice catch by Been.

Can wait to get peerman back in week 10

His name is "Fah-vre," not "Fawhrve." Its "Cheh-chill-yah-nee," not "Seh-sill-ee-ah-nee." (for MLB putifelder Darrell Cecilliani).

In a slight variation of what Homer Simpson says:

Homer: "There's the right way, the wrong way and the Homer Simpson way."
Lisa: "Isn't that the wrong way?"
Homer: "yeah, but faster!"

Just sub "American," for Homer and you've got the right dialogue.

So no, we're right, a random, incorrect website is, well, wrong.

Anywys, I'm done on my mini-rant, disregard

I would argue that the way someone pronounces their own name is the way is pronounced.  Brett Favre is pronounced however Brett says it is.

that is why most of the guys playing right now wont make the team.  There are some positions we are down to last man on the depth chart

Really these guys are fighting for a roster spot, so if they're ever going to go all out 110% it should be now. 

Erickson > Tate

Can wait to get peerman back in week 10 hes so important to flip field position
