When Joe Theismann was in college, he changed the pronunciation of his name from Thees-man to Thighs-man so that it would rhyme with Heisman, as in college football’s most prestigious award. He didn’t win the award, but to this day it is clear that Theismann continues to treat actual last names as mere suggestions when referring to people.
And yesterday, during a taping for the NFL Network, Theismann changed up someone else’s last name, and in the process he uttered the funniest words ever uttered in the history of mankind and all the world.
At least, you’d think so based on Deion Sanders’ reaction.
