espn was just showing the former Nfl commish tags messing up draft picks names. I never knew when we selected Irvin tags referred to him as "Marshall Irvin".

Brett Favor...

You know somebody's a hillbilly when they can't even pronounce their family name that way its spelled.

I have a friend in NY who's last name is Favre (Spelled just like Brett's) and he pronounces it Favor. Says that side of the family is crazy. :D

Actually he claims he's not related.

I don't think a hillbilly is going to mispronounce another hillbilly's name

I remember that moment like it was yesterday. My buddy and I looked at each other and said "Who?! Did we just draft Michael Irvin?"

I wanted Irvin so bad that year! I was estatic!

Brett's version is a country-ized version of the french pronunciation... Probably has some cajun in his family...
