Czech please! 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2009 Xavier is the most wondrous male name that I have ever heard. Of course, much of the credit clearly goes to the 'X,' because I do not find the name 'Javier' to be anything special. But an X at the beginning of the name? What a bold renegade! X's 'ZAY' pronunciation is much more elegant than J's 'HAH.' Don't you hate it when people pronounce it "egg-zavier"? That's the mark of a broadcaster who hasn't done his homework.

naiwf 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2009 Lay off. Duke has been overrated tourney fodder for most of this decade. The majority of the guys that have gone there in recent years have been guys who would have ridden the pine for 4 years in the '90s and with rare exception none of those players do anything at the pro level either.

Fökai 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2009 Arizona State surely followed the blueprint for the "Pac-10 at the Dance" performance. Jeff Pendergraph turtled up like a little bitch today. He laid an egg against a team in Syracuse who has little to no interior to speak of, fouling out in essentially 15 minutes of play. From the tip-off, he simply hid behind his defender and waited for a lob or dump pass to come his way. I've heard for the last two years he's been projected as a first round pick in the draft - what a pro career he has ahead of him. That being said, Syracuse is in my Elite 8 for a reason -- that team is absolutely deadly when they have the drive and dish going. Blake Griffin looked incredible yesterday, but I don't think the OK backcourt stands a chance against 'Cuse. I wouldn't be surprised if their 2-3 zone holds everyone on Oklahoma not named Griffin to under 10 points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smues 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2009 Re: Xavier. I think ESPN pretty much always gets it right these days, but in the past I heard ex-avier and egg-vier ALL the time. So when the first season of Dream Job aired and Al Jaffey yelled at some guy for miss pronouncing a player's name or a school's name or something and told him how you have to be respectful and get them right, I just rolled my eyes.
