Menino flubs more Patriots' names

After defeating the Houston Texans in the second round of playoffs, the New England Patriots are preparing for the AFC Championship game against the Baltimore Ravens.


The Patriots received some praise from Boston Mayor Tom Menino, notorious for getting the names of the city's star athletes wrong.

In an interview with New England Cable News about a bet with Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, Menino looked at some players who will lead the team to victory, like 'Vince Wilcock,' and also flubbed the name for the injured 'Gonk.'

@ Varitek, Hondo

"Donald Sterns"

He also reminds me of our beloved "Bean Sea Gull" guy

How is Mumbles Menino still the mayor?

Gonna give this one more chance. Thought y'all would see the similarity that I did. I can see our Emmitt making a post hyping up a Vince Wilcock.

The Vince Wilcock thing had me in tears.

 

[SoulController]

shyts great, he needs to learn Big Vince's name tho

 

[Rev]

Don't forget he called Rondo "Hondo" & Kevin Garnett "KJ" last summer.

I wish he were just trolling with all this.

The gronk attempt was the funniest one of them all he called him gonkis... gonkster

 

[I_Got_Da_Burna]

Vince Wilcock...sounds like a porno name...

 

[Majestic Pape]

He has GOT to be trolling.

Thats my mayor and he is dead serious. He's half retarded and keeps getting re-elected. Serious corrupt ties with major players is the only explaination.

 

[Kuuuuush]

And he was wearing a Wilfork jersey when he said 'Wilcock'
