    They were a regular tagteam of errors.

    One would start off and the other one followed the exact error every time. First, it was Papanakalao. Then Papanikaloo. Then they got it right Papanikalaou. Then wrong again.

    Never mind, they were quite appreciative of Papa's game. Kept praising him the whole game. Papa really shows up in the big games.

    Yep, I caught that one too.

    This is going to be a ******* fun league pass season for sheer name pronunciation comedy purposes.
