Moe: Mouth-watering treat leaves many tongue-tied

I'm prompted in part by having heard national sports radio host Colin Cowherd mangle the pronunciation on Monday.

I am a fan of Cowherd's show, which airs weekday mornings on WTS0-AM/1070. This week, he was doubting whether retired New York Giants pass rusher Michael Strahan would come back to the team, which needs defensive-line help after some injuries.

I'm paraphrasing, but Cowherd said of Strahan: "He's in Greece. He's happy eating gyros. He's not coming back."

Cowherd pronounced gyros like this: "guy-rohs." And he didn't say it just once. Part of Cowherd's shtick is to hammer his points home again and again, so he kept saying, "guy-rohs."

When I first saw the name "Doug Moe" in the title, I thought it has something to do with between Cowherd and the old Denver Nuggets coach.
