    Justin7 when are you going to teach Peter Loshak how to pronounce names?
    Hey Justin7, I enjoy your in-depth responses in your videos, but I am perplexed as to why when I watch a video that involved you and Peter Loshak he repeatedly mispronounces the names of people. Is he doing this on purpose or does he honestly not know how to pronounce the names of sports stars?

    Peter if you post you are free to let me know also.

    Below is just one video where I can show examples:



    @ min 1:14 says Bobby Bowden as in "Bow and Arrow" when it should be Bobby Bowden as in "Bow down to me". Who doesn't know how to pronounce his name? He is one of the top 5 coaches all-time in college football. Do I watch too much football and take this for granted?

    The other in this video came at minute

    Hey Peter, I enjoy the videos myself but I'd have someone look over how you pronounce names. FYI

    @ 8:07 you call Tim Tebow - Tim Ta-Bow when it's Tim Tee-Bow.
    It honestly makes me wonder if you ever watch the games?
    BTW, he's won the Heisman Trophy and plays for the #1 team in the country who won the National Championship last year.

    I normally wouldn't call this out, but from the few videos I've seen Peter in there have been some pronunciation issues and it makes me wonder if you are just reading from a script. Justin7 you have your shit down and I enjoy your videos and would love more of your insight on spreads, games etc in the future.

      Wacked,

      I'm not the one you should ask. I can barely REMEMBER most players, let alone pronounce them. But seriously, who cares? If random number generator "A" could be pronounced "Aye" or "uhh", the distribution's the same no matter what you call it.

            Well Just since you are here, I wanted to say thanks for the informative videos you post. I wish you would post more but that's just my wish.

            As far as Peter not knowing how to pronounce names... I can understand on long unheard of names, but not on the #2 Winningest coach in College Football and a Heisman Trophy Winner and National Champion winner.

            As I said, I guess I either watch too much college football and don't realize it's second nature or as you said you are just looking at stats and playing what the computer spits out. You are obviously a smart individual but having someone in a video not pronouncing the names correctly makes it seem as if it's fly by night and that is what I was getting at.

              Wacked, I share your wish that Justin would post more videos and give out more picks, but on another level, his discipline is one of the things that makes me value his opinions so strongly. If he was throwing out 25 games a week, I wouldn't take his opinions as seriously.
