Kofi Cockburn

[RMoney22]

Can someone PLEASE tell me how Kofi Cockburn's last name is pronounced Co-Burn??? How in the hell is Cockburn pronounced Co-Burn?!!! This may sound like a stupid question, but I actually had to look at their roster one night to confirm they didn't have another player on their team with the actual last name of Coburn. I'm just really curious how you pronounce Cockburn as Coburn. Are there any English majors in here? I guess the 'ck' is silent?

Lol

For real, Varkey. aren't you from Chitown? Can you ask someone there that knows? I'm seriously baffled. Cockburn=Coburn WTF???

 

[doogieboy]

I was thinking the same when I saw them play in conf. Tourney. Maybe not wanting to be teased with “cock” jokes lol
i live amongst the French Cajuns who have many unnecessary letters in their name…Bourgeois (booj_wa) Theriot (tear-rio) but I assure you that cockburn is Not a French name ����

I agree with you. The only thing I can think of is that he’s from Jamaica, so maybe they pronounce words/names differently.

Haha, I knew it was pronounced "Coburn" from last season.
Wife was watching and betting an Illinois game last week and right off the bat, she was like "This Cockburn guy needs the ball. Look at him"

I was like "it's Coburn woman".

It is also to avoid saying the "cock" part.

Famous Cardinal pitcher, Danny Cox, years ago.

Lou Brock was a few games into being a new broadcaster despite and unfortunate speech impediment.

Lou says "Danny's Cock is warming up in the bullpen". He said it 5-6 times.

It was Lou's last broadcast, ever... great player, great person, but they had to pull him.

This conversation takes me back to the NFL draft when Jets took Sam Darnold. ESPN was talking about how Darnold’s grandfather was a good basketball player back in the day at USC. His name was Dick Hammer! I’m not shitting you... look it up. I nearly pissed my pants when they put up a picture of Dick Hammer with his name spelled out across the screen.

Haha, I know this story!! Plus Dick Hammer was the old Marlboro Man to boot!

I’m glad I’m not alone. I was a litte nervous posting this and looking like a complete dumb ass. I had to look at their roster several times to see if they actually had a player named Coburn!

Hmmm...HT knows his shit and highly accurate. I did not watch the game.

He was Cock-burned out about half way through the second half as he couldn't make it up and down the court. I think the Illinois team partied a little too much as they certainly were not ready to play and they got outcoached by a margin that was like an NBA team versus the JV.

Who knows? I don't care that much TBH, lol. He is overrated IMO.
