Why is everyone spelling his name like this? It's pretty stupid and not funny.

Bernstein's army uses this name as a way to stereotype every person who doesn't like Cutler as a stupid meatball. I had to have heard it 20 times today on The Score. I'm really starting to think there's some sort of directive to defend Cutler at all costs. It was embarrassing today.

What's funny is they keep propping up Cutler in part based on Trestman's ability to work his magic on QBs, without realizing that his magic has indeed already worked - just on the wrong QB.

It is perfect for the Score. They prop him up and move the meters. Then if/when they acquire another QB and it works they can say Cutler was the best "at the time" and so on. Another Bernsie meme I am tired of hearing is the NFL does not draft a QB and let him sit anymore for the first year. Sure they do and if they wanted Trestman could alter practice to get a new guy reps behind McGowen.

Didn't BRick post a video where McCown pronounced his name that way himself? I guess li'l danny and his ALS know the man's name better than he does.

"Cowen" is both truer to its Gaelic roots and how "Cown" would sound in a Texas drawl, so one way or the other...

Chill out. It's a play on the B&B meatball strawman.

Keep up!

bernstein would probably say that McCown is an ignorant hillbilly who can't even pronounce his own name. Ironically, the way danny pronounces his own last name isn't "correct" in a traditional sense. But of course, it is impossible for one to pronounce his own name incorrectly.

My own last name is a very guttural German one. My paternal grandmother was 100% Irish, just off the boat. Being the mama's boy that he was, my father identified as Irish rather than German. He took to pronouncing (mispronouncing?) our family name in a way that made it seem more Irish, dropping the "t" and pronouncing the "z" as an "s". My grandfather and I often took delight in teasing him that he didn't even know how to say his own name. But, as I said, my dad was entitled to pronounce his own name any way he desired. In fact, if my father, dan bernstein, and Josh McCown all want to pronounce their own surnames improperly, it's nobody business but their own.

I always get a kick out of it when bernstein pronounces Spanish words with a heavy accent the way a first generation Latino reporting from Guatemala for NPR would. Maybe Mitch should make him wear a sombrero.

li'l danny strikes me as a guy who insists on using the "proper" pronunciations for Chicago streets like Goethe and Mozart. Not only does doing so make you seem like an affected douche, it will probably get your cabdriver lost.
