Jason Garrett may need help with the correct pronunciation of a city in the United States.
For the Dolphins-Packers game at Lambeau Field, Mike Tirico and Garrett are on the call for NBC as Cris Collinsworth has Thanksgiving off.
During the game, the former head coach was speaking about the Dolphins not being in a position to have another injury on the team when fans couldn’t help but notice the way he pronounced “Miami.”

That is most certainly the incorrect way to say it, and fans let him hear about it.

“What’s more difficult: the Dolphins stopping the Packers or Garrett saying the word Miami?” one fan stated.
“The way Garrett said ‘Miami” 💀,” another fan said.
One X user added, “Garrett just said, “My-am-ee” when referring to Miami.”
One female user asked, “Why did I have to listen to Jason Garrett pronounce Miami like that?”
As for the game between the Packers and Dolphins, it is most certainly a cold contest that Miami was not ready for, as they are currently down double digits and look like a team that would rather be anywhere else than Lambeau Field.
Why Is Jason Garrett Calling The Late Thanksgiving Game?
Fans have become accustomed to hearing Mike Tirico and Cris Collinsworth on NBC for NFL games.
For the Thanksgiving broadcast of the Miami Dolphins and Green Bay Packers game in Week 13, he has Jason Garrett by his side.
Collinsworth typically takes a game off during Thanksgiving week, so he doesn’t have to work three games in the span of eight days.
Tonight is his day off since he will be working Sunday night.
Former Cowboys Head Coach Jason Garrett Calls Out All The “Clowns” Out There While Giving His Honest Opinion On Dak Prescott

On Sunday morning, just hours before the Dallas Cowboys were set to take on the Browns in Week 1, Dak Prescott signed a new four-year $240 million deal, making him the highest-paid NFL player of all time. Later, Jason Garrett shared his true feelings about Prescott on NBS’s Football Night in America.
“But back to Dak, he just plays the game at a high level,” said Garrett. “I hear these clowns on TV say he’s overrated, he’s not in the top 10. Watch the game! He’s an incredible football player. Great leader for that team.”
It was some truly high praise from the once very highly respected head coach.
It’s also worth noting that Prescott and Jason Garrett had some overlap in the Dallas Cowboys organizations.
Garret was the head coach of the Cowboys from 2010-2019. It’s not often that a coach can stick with one team for so long.
He was entering his sixth year with the organization when they picked Prescott with the 135th pick in the 2016 NFL Draft. Dak had the opportunity to start all 16 games that year and thrived under Garrett’s offensive scheme.

The pair were a part of 64 total games together, accumulating an impressive 40-24 record, with Dak making two Pro Bowls and Offensive Rookie of the Year.

Garrett ended his coaching career after a two-year stint with the New York Giants, which wasn’t anything to write home about.
