Nono Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) It just seems so dissrespectful when I hear the media and others pronounce TD's last name as1) "Demi" troff2) "Demee" troff3) "Demitt" troffI was under impression that it is 3---so why does Buck Belue and others from ESPN etc screw this up? Its funny and dissrepectful at the same time.I don't say "Bayrock" Obama or Barock O "bama" and this is a much tougher name Edited January 27, 2013 by Nono Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Doktor Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 It's like they say "Dante" instead of "Dunta" Robinson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falconstwopercentsized Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Yeah, they don't respect dimmitroff probably. Falcons are thought of a good team with ok talent. So they don't believe he has that eye for talent, so they purposely **** up his name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faithful Falcon Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Come on guys. If he had a simple name like Smith, Jones, etc. Then complain. How many Dimitroff's do you know? Anyone trying to say it, whether right or wrong. You know who they are talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a lot of people, and some that voted for him that can't say his name. I have hear Back Rack, Obomo. To be fair, the president is a lot more popular than our GM.

Its funny and dissrepectful at the same time.I don't say "Bayrock" Obama or Barock O "bama" and this is a much tougher nameI always thought it was #2. If it were #3, there should be 2 "T"'s in the name because you are using the consonant twice, once in each syllable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOEinPHX Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 The first time I met TD, I asked him straight up how to properly pronounce his name, as I'd heard it three different ways and didn't want to get it wrong. He told me it was duh-mitt-roff phonetically, but also pointed out that it's pronounced two different ways within his own family.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Julio Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 And then there is "Witherspoon" instead of Weatherspoon. This one always infuriates me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCEagleATLFalcon Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 And then there is "Witherspoon" instead of Weatherspoon. This one always infuriates me!Was about to mention that one.Although my all-time favorite remains this:After he made a tackle at the pre-season game I attended in Miami this past August, I hear, "Tackle made by Thomas DEE-COW of the Atlanta Falcons."
