Fox commentators caused a stir in Broncos Country last week when they pronounced running back Tyler Badie’s name as “buh-day” instead of “bay-dee.”
It turns out, Tim Brando and Matt Millen were correct in their pronunciation. After going by “bay-dee” at Missouri and through two seasons in the NFL, Badie informed the Broncos last week that he wanted it to be pronounced “buh-day.” Duly noted!
So, with Badie’s name corrected, here’s a look at an updated name pronunciation guide for Denver’s players this season:
- RB Tyler Badie: “buh-DAY“
- OT Garett Bolles: BOWLS
- OLB Nik Bonitto: bo-KNEE-toe
- TE Greg Dulcich: dul-SICH
- RB Audric Estime: AWE-drick ess-TE-may
- OL Alex Forsyth: FORE-seith
- LS Mitchell Fraboni: fruh-BONE-ee
- OL Nick Gargiulo: gar-JEWL-lo
- CB Damarri Mathis: DUH-mar-EE
- RB Jaleel McLaughlin: muh-GLOFF-lin
- CB Ja’Quan McMillian: JAY-quan mac-MILL-in
- OL Quinn Meinerz: minors
- OL Alex Palczewski: pal-CHESS-key
- OL Matt Peart: payrt
- DB Keidron Smith: key-DRON
- QB Jarrett Stidham: STID-um
- LB Justin Strnad: stir-NAHD
- CB Pat Surtain: sur-TAN
- OLB Dondrea Tillman: DON-dre
- DL Eyioma Uwazurike: en-YO-muh oo-WAZ-zur-EE-kay
- WR Devaughn Vele: deh-VAWN VEH-lay
- RB Javonte Williams: JUH-von-TAY
