Love that you spelled his name wrong in the post also. That makes this story so much better. 

So … should the emphasis be on the first or last syllable? I’ve never seen the accent rendered, so the custom on an unaccented Spanish name would be on the penultimate syllable, but this article doesn’t quite clear it up.

“A-vee -less”
How have other people pronounced it? This is what I thought it was.

Wait – isn’t that how BN “mispronounced” it previously, and the world (myself, internally) made fun of him?

Um, no, that’s not the way BV mispronounced it. As a matter of fact, he found an entirely new way to do so, which I find hilarious.

Name as typically pronounced: a – VI – les.
Name as BV pronounced it : A – vi – les.

Name as it should be pronounced, apparently: a – vi – LES

So it’s really ah-vee-LACE. Wouldnt that be a better way to write it?

“But what about Brett Fav… ruh?”

60 plus games into the season, and this is the biggest news we can muster?

Yikes!  Can we have an audio version of this???  Is the emphasis on the 1st syllable???   AHHH-vee-less???  ah-VEE-less is what I thought it was… is it ahvee-LESS???  AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
