Around SBN: L'Equipe Claims He's Coming To Chelsea On Five Year Deal

"1. It's pronounced Chy-lie, not Chill-ee. So no Skyline for you. Same with Jay-va (not Jah-va). I think Rochester-area folks inhaled a bit too much developing fluid fumes."

It's such a pleasant turnaround regarding the Bills coverage by the national media this year as opposed to last. Sure, there's still a share of uninspired stories decrying them as a laughingstock, but they are generally quick to demonstrate their unfamiliarity with the team. King *godforbid* highlights Buffalo [Merriman] here, in a pretty objective fashion.

Who the hell says Jay-Va?

I’m all for more pub for western NY, especially Rochester, especially the east side of Rochester, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone pronounce it Jay-Va…

that’s how it’s pronounced. Same with Cowlesville being pronounced CO-wlesville not Cows-ville

that’s my neck of the woods homie – King is right

They call Delhi - Dell High

and Cairo is “K-row”. I’m surprised Utica is not call “you-tic-aye”.

Who was the first person to pronounce it wrong and why did it stick?
