This might sound strange, and I can't quite put my finger on why, but it seems like you almost don't have the right voice for the slower pacing in your speech. Maybe it's just me .
I'd probably define GP as good willed sportsmanship and behavior in a competitive or otherwise demanding environment, in all interactions, whether on or off the field. Sportsmanship is the closest synonym that comes to mind.

I can't speak as to why it may sound funny, but I will acknowledge my speaking is a bit more slow than necessary. When in the process of enunciating, I thought I might be adding too much inflection, but either that was all in my head or the mic just didn't pick it up. Either way, I'll opt for a less meandering narration next time.
