How hard is it to learn to pronounce the guy's name properly?

 

[DarrylS]

Great honor for a great man and a great coach...
Amazing how his coaching journey led him back to the Patriots to where we are today....

 

[ErniesPinkStripes]

Way to go 50, excellent work and well deserved

 

[Grogan14]

Great person to lead this team. He commands both admiration and respect. Well deserved Mike!
Good decision by Kraft.

Call him what you will.

Reminiscent of Ronnie Raygun trying to pronounce Havlicek and Heinsohn.

No politics. Just sayin'.

Edit: Well deserved award to Coach Verbal.

Congrats to Mike "Mike Verbal" Vrabel

He does talk a good game!

I'm really happy about the award. For whatever reason I didn't care at all about the MVP, but this seems like more of an honor for the team, its accomplishments and its culture.

Call him what you will.

And whatever you call him odds are he's heard worse

"Verbal" is just his nickname, it's not his real name.

Congrats to Mike "Mike Verbal" Vrabel

I don't watch that crappy show so I did not see it but I can't believe they butchered his name. It's not like a name where the pronnounciation is different from the spelling or a super long name.

Very happy for him. I have never been one to get super attached to coaches (nothing to do with Bill, in case I get jumped on for that, as I am like that for my fav soccer team too. More that my attachment is always built to what is happening on the field) but Vrabel is the first one I feel a bit more affinity for because he was our player and I have that affinity comes pre-built.

Get the chicks off the stage for NFL awards, unless it's Mia Kimes or Suzy Kolber.

 

[neckroll#14]

Jete Namath would like that!

 

[TheRainMaker]

His next award will come this Sunday.
