The video gives some nice clips of Ravens training camp to start but then the host ruins it by calling John, Jim. I mean seriously, the guy has been around for a whole year now.

Wow. That's messed up. When it's all said and done though, I think JOHN will accomplish more than his brother JIM ever did. Although I like them both.

Besides, they should be referring to him as "Coach" anyway. [img]http://boards.baltimoreravens.com/public/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif[/img]

I can understand since John and Jim are really close names, but if they were totally different sounding, then I would be upset.

John and Jim are not that close, they only start with the same letter. And how close they seem to be is irrelevant. These guys are supposed to be professional sports casters and they have a teleprompter. Calling someone by the wrong name is unacceptable. Miss prounciation, I can see but calling a guy Jim when his name is John should never happen, especially when said guy has been on the job for more then a year.

If he wants his name to be said right he should win a superbowl so they will never forget it.

Billick messed it up on NFLN this past week, not sure which day this week has been a blur

[flynismo]

Hell, I was calling him Jeff until like week 3 last year

[darklight1216]

Lol I missed that one, but I've heard people call him "Jim" several times.

Does anyone remember when they called Ray Lewis "Ed Reed"? XD

Hey its better then listening to announcers <[i]mispronounce[/i]> Nnamdi Asomugha's name. It is AWSOMEWA not A so mu ga. But I am sure Harbaugh will get more respect after he wins a SB.
