The right honorable mayor of Boston Tom Menino has a long history of mispronouncing and flubbing the names of New England-area athletes. Our favorites are probably “KG and Hondo” and “Wes Weckler.” On Wednesday, he was at it again.
Boston mayor Tom Menino flubs Patriots’ names again
Everyone’s favorite mumblin’ mayor is back. Which names did he mangle this time?
Bill Hanstock is a writer, author and Emmy Award-winning producer. He began writing for SB Nation in 2011.
Menino, addressing reporters live from his official mayoral La-Z-Boy, referred to New England Patriots players like "Vince Wilcock" and of course "Gonk."
Some other Menino-approved players to look out for in Sunday’s AFC Championship Game:
- Joe “Edie” Falco
- Davey Woodface
- Linebacker great Parker Lewis
- Talib Kweli
- Ed Wood
- A-Rod Hernandez
- Antoine Boy-ar-dee
- Jesus Jones
- Admiral Terrence Sugglesworth
