You'd think Patrick could get his buddy Obama to pronounce our state name right

Massatoosits just doesn't cut it, especially because he's eventually going to screw up and use a similar sounding name that will get him in a lot of trouble.

Without Front Teeth
At an age when I was becoming aware of national geography and sorely lacking in front toothage, I was watching Johnny Tremain. I went to my US map (being a bit of a geojunkie even at age 6) and looked up where it was, all tiny and on the opposite coast.
At that time I pronounced it "Mass - a - two - shits". My parents attempted to correct that, but it wasn't really possible until the front incisors arrived.
Then again, I've rarely met somebody raised out here who doesn't have to have their pronounciation of my native state extensively corrected. It's "Orygun", not "ahrehgone" or "ohregone".
Or A Gun?
But with the accent on the first syllable?

Take out a few locals too...
They would need to fire half the announcers at otherwise erudite WBUR, cause they can't say it right either (or Is-rull, for that matter).
Kinda like the gas
No need for three syllables there. That's just excessive.
