You'll never guess how Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo pronounced Jarrett Stidham's name before Broncos start

1 hour ago 2

Jarrett Stidham isn't particularly well known.

But this week, everyone is talking about the Denver Broncos' backup QB, because he's not the backup anymore. Stidham will start the AFC Championship Game in place of second-year quarterback Bo Nix.

Nix fractured his ankle on the game-winning drive of the Divisional Round against the Buffalo Bills, so he won't play the rest of the way.

If the Broncos win the Super Bowl, it'll be with Stidham.

That has created some amusing moments, including when radio host Chris "Mad Dog" Russo began to talk about Stidham.

He did not pronounce his name correctly.

He was not close.

Here's the audio:

Probably don't need to be too hard on the Mad Dog here.

But "Stick-ham?" Not quite right.

Stidham will hope everyone knows his name, in a good way, after Sunday's AFC title game.
