The Grammar Bitches on this blog (we know who we are!) should enjoy this one: There’s really no nexus here, but I stumbled across this site tonight while trying to find out exactly how many syllables are in Ronnie Belliard’s last name (according to the AP Sports pronunciation guide, 3. according to Mary Stuart Mackey in 1922, only two).
Heh.

ESPN disagrees with you.
