How about Adam Ramanauskas? You’d hear his name pronounced 2 different ways, sometimes by the same commentator in game! At least BT will be consistent. As long as he’s out on the field kicking goals for us who really cares how they say his name? He’s elite!

I think if someone says “my name is pronounced this way, it would be nice if you pronounced it like that” and you say “nah”, then you’re a bit of a d/ck

I agree with that but I also believe industry is pretty average in not confirming it far earlier.

Not a very good one. Appalling commentator too.

He’s not alone.
They are all average.
Out of curiosity, how is Prestigiacomo, Laverde, Montagna and Ricciardo supposed to be pronounced?

I’m glad someone asked. I was thinking the same thing.
Hearing Americans pronounce “Notre Dame” makes one cringe.

Thanks for that, very helpful!
Hit the Presti one again, I had the English link, … now Italia.
Don’t mind him as a commonpotator, where his love for the game is very evident, and his enthusiasm obvious. Roaming Brian is cringe worthy however, and has me reaching for the remote to change channels as soon as he comes on. Stick to calling the games.
Australian commentary is cringeworthy in general.
I watch a lot of soccer and they are far more professional. They just call the game without using all the theatrics.
Basketball they use theatrics a lot more but it suits the game and it comes off as entertaining.

There are good commentators, and there are poor commentators.
Then there’s 50 feet of crap.
And then there’s BT.

Also a regular cannon wouldn’t fit him. Need a 3XL cannon I would have thought
