What the heck is a Jag-WYRE?

If the Jags end up moving to LA (which seems to be the rumour), I hope they change the name of the team. I am so sick of hearing the team called the Jag-WYRES. Chris Mortenson does this. Jim Nantz does this. At least half of the sportscasters do this. Where is the "WYRE" in Jaguar?

    It beats the faux-Europen woman on the car ads who pronounces it 'Zhag-you-are'

    Uh, being from North Carolina, I would think you would recognize the Southern dialect in Jag-WYRE, so the talking heads are just respecting the locals.

    Uh, I am speaking of national broadcasters. This would include ESPN (which is up in your area I believe).

    I say it Jag-WYRE image (and I don't have a southern dialect)


    BTW my roommate, who was born and raised in Rochester, NY pronounces it the same way...
