How did Doucet look last night?

I have heard several people, talking about Jacques Doucet and Early in the same sentence say Doo-say and Doo-sett. It isn't a case of ignorance. People should pronounce a name however the player wants them to pronounce it.

 

I heard them on the radio about a week ago. Jacques says he pronounces his name doo-say and Early pronounces it doo-set.

 

When did names in Louisiana make sense :thumb:

 

I have met people named Hebert in Texas who actually pronounce it Hee-bert instead of A-bear.

 

That's because people in Texas aren't "Heberts", they are something totally different. My brother in law coached Earlly in high school, he always said "Do-Say". Maybe Early prefers "Do-Set", I don't know. I prefer the word "touchdown" after his name !

 

I just figured the people who make media guide asked the players or parents how to pronounce their name, and that's what they print.
