Did the football big guys think FawVre sounded to....French?

Does he pronounce his own name like that?

2. I always wondered the same thing about Dick Butkis (spelling?)
Did the football big guys think that was funny?

3. Probably for the same reasons
we pronounce the word "colonel", "kernel".

Because our society is a bunch of morans? :shrug: ;)
