Apparently, it's too difficult for all those network analysts. :rolleyes:

I'd be willing to bet that I. The game day notes and the media guide, the Steelers probably have it broken down phonetically for the media.

They probably do, but I don't know why. It's pretty obvious how his name is pronounced. I like his attitude about it though. Just keep scoring touchdowns.

My own last name has an odd spelling but is pronounced just the way it reads. 80% of people screw it up anyway. Including nearly every PA announcer at sporting events when I was younger. You get used to it.

See I think a great nickname for him would be "Phantom U" (from the article).

As long as the name is spelled right on PAYCHECK who cares how it's pronounced !

Just call him Marty.

I like that suggestion. I think we should call him that around here. :lol:

Tyson knocks out Martavis in 1986.
