The "Heat" play tonight, too?  Jesus.—Or—Do you know how the Brits pronounce Gabriel Jesus? Gabb-ray-al Zhay-zeus. Now, the undersigned is a personage of the Americano persuasion, he defers to his betters in the Mother Country when it comes to pronunciation of English words—you want to pronounce Leicester, Lester, I obey Mother. But goddamn it, Gabriel Jesus is not an English name, the Archangel is a native of Brazil, and I’ll be a sonofabitch if I don’t know more Brazilians—living in MIAMI—than some Limey does living in London and you do NOT pronounce Gabriel Jesus Gabb-ray-al Zhay-zeus. What is that “Zhay,” fucking Russian?  It’s Gabe-or Gabb-, I’ll give you that, Gabe-ree-el Hey-zeus. Fucking Brits make me sick.
