Every time Peyton Manning calls out "Omaha!" (1 Viewer)

The forecast for Vail today was gusts up to 50 mph, wind chill of -15, and 11 inches of snow. Not digging the candy ### weather in Denver.

 
Lots of QBs have pre-snap things to shout, but when Peyton does it, his yells are just so much better than any QB that's ever played the position. His outstanding phonation is just one example of how he goes the extra mile in prepping his glottis when most QBs in the NFL simply do rudimentary voice work. Peyton Manning is so awesome.

See: "it's the heart that matters most."

 
He needs to work in some product placement

"Pespi, not Coke, Pespi"

"Papa Johns, Papa Johns, call now"

"Football Guys, Football Guys, hike, HIKE, hike"

Okay, I think we've finally gotten to the bottom of this.

Although Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning has been saying “Omaha” during games for years, it has become a widespread focal point only very recently.

And so Manning was asked about what "Omaha" means during his weekly media availability.

“I’m not sure I know how to answer that, but I’ve had a lot people ask what ‘Omaha’ means,” Manning told reporters. “‘Omaha’ is a run play, but it could be a pass play or a play-action pass depending on a couple things – the wind, which way we’re going, the quarter and the jerseys that we’re wearing. It varies really play to play. There’s your answer to that one.” :mellow:

To no surprise, he said nothing. And he did it with a straight face, using the same kind of delivery that helped make him hilarious while hosting Saturday Night Live.

Whatever it means now, it had a different meaning when Manning used the term in Indianapolis. Former Colts tight end and Manning teammate Dallas Clark explained on SiriusXM NFL Radio that the word would flip the “hot” receiver on a blitz from one side to the other, which also signaled the running back to change his protection to the other side as well.

Former Colts coach Tony Dungy recently told PFT that Peyton now uses the term for a very different purpose.

“He is using it a lot now for snap count — on one,” Dungy said. “Then he can give them a ‘disregard’ and say ‘Omaha’ but not go on one, to keep the defense honest.”

There were probably 8 articles in the Omaha World Herald last week about Manning calling "Omaha" A group of Omaha businesses have agreed to donate $500 to Manning's foundation for every time he yells "Omaha".

Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo has named a penguin chick after Manning. :lmao:
