I actually learned from this clip how to pronounce Clowney’s first name. I had been wondering…
geez, Brad, you clearly don’t drive around with your radio tuned to 107.5 The Game…”the blowtorch of the Midlands” as they say…you would have the pronunciation drilled into your head since JD’s high school days in Rock Hill.
sorry I meant JC of course. (I have a colleague named JD so I got confused).
Obviously, I don’t. It’s a name I read (a LOT, I don’t need to tell you, and without trying), rather than a name I hear.
I had just been wondering again this morning how to say it, and then I saw the clip.
Sometime back, I asked an ardent Gamecock fan to tell me how to pronounce it, and he changed the subject. So I don’t think he was confident in his pronunciation, either…
And it’s not that I haven’t heard him mentioned on TV or radio. It just seems that they always just call him “Clowney.”
In another clip from earlier in the show, Fallon adopted Bob Hope’s tradition of bringing the football players out one at a time and saying a joke about them. Bob Hope was funnier, though. (And I think the players on his show were all-stars??)
Bob Hope would bring out the college football players that were voted AP All Americans.
and yes- Bob Hope is funnier than Jimmy Fallon- and everyone else.
If you want to see a hilarious clip about football players’ names, you can’t beat this one.
