I've been getting kick out of hearing TV commentators butcher the pronunciation of Meb's last name over the past 24 hours.

Especially the ones who don't even attempt it and just refer to him as "Meb" like he's their next-door neighbor or something.

That would be the first time I have heard that pronunciation of his name such as that. All olympics, every event on TV i have seen him on, Al Trautwig all day yesterday, ESPN, etc have never pronounced his name that way.
