Yeah, the 4th string QB in Cleveland called him that in Hard Knocks too.

You'd think that by now we'd have heard that differently. The announcers have pronunciation guides and I'm actually fairly certain I heard his Dad call him Tie-Rod in one of the videos on draft day. Weird.

Listening to 92.3 the Fan Cleveland, they're arguing Tyrod's name -- Hurley09 08/13/2018 4:41PM

There's no way Bill Roth spent 4 years mispronouncing the guy's name ** -- HokieNoVA 08/14/2018 05:43AM

That was exactly my first thought as well. ** -- riosvt 08/14/2018 10:08AM

I'm pretty sure it's Tie-rod Tyler, and he has GEICO motorcycle insurance. -- MP4VT2004 08/13/2018 8:49PM

According to inside source it's Tuh-rod -- VaAkita 08/13/2018 7:11PM

In fact, here's the man himself announcing his name as Tie-rod. -- HokieinTampa 08/13/2018 5:50PM

His mom pronounces if different right after in that video. -- VTHal 08/14/2018 12:24PM

Coach calls him Tie Rod ** -- HokieDelNorte 08/14/2018 1:36PM

That's good enough for me. ** -- EDGEMAN 08/14/2018 10:59AM

...make sure you replace the bushings ** -- chumley 08/13/2018 8:42PM

Pretty cut and dry there... ** -- Michael20 08/13/2018 8:24PM

Yeah - but listen to his mom. Sounds like she says "ter-ROD." ** -- Hokie360 08/13/2018 7:14PM

Man, I love that family. -- MP4VT2004 08/13/2018 6:22PM

My dad's name "changed" when he got to VT -- Tafkam Hokie 08/13/2018 5:34PM

I heard his mom pronounce it "Ter-Rod" and always wondered about that too ** -- knuckle junction 08/13/2018 5:33PM

TIEROID ** -- FfxStationHokie 08/13/2018 5:25PM

I think that's right. I bet you never heard his daddy say TIE-rod. ** -- BG Hokie 08/13/2018 5:21PM
