What's Spanish for "nickname"?

Some of the nicknames Jaime and Luis Moreno use for Panthers players during game broadcasts in Spanish:

El Sonorense: Center Ryan Kalil. His grandmother is from the Mexican state of Sonora.

El Dinosaurio (“The Dinosaur”): Quarterback Cam Newton. A nickname that began at Auburn. “He’s one of a kind. There are no more like him.”

El Bandolero (“The Bandit”): Cornerback Josh Norman. “He steals from everybody that throws his way.”

El Terrible: Running back Jonathan Stewart

El Confesor (“The Confessor”): Linebacker Luke Kuechly. “In medieval times, you had the punisher. The guy who would get anything out of you.”

El Aristócrata (“The Aristocrat”): Wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr., because “what he does on the field is difficult to find anywhere else. It’s an aristocracy.”

El Capitán: Linebacker Thomas Davis Sr.

El Bolichero (”The Bowler”): Tight end Ed Dickson. “He loves bowling a lot.”

Rico: Coach Ron Rivera, but “he doesn’t know it. We have to ask for his permission.” (During his playing days in Chicago, Rivera’s nickname was Chico.)

El Tanque: Mike Tolbert. “He’s a tank whenever he gets the ball.”

Strange. I would have labeled Greg Olsen ''El Aristocrata" but I prefer to call him "El Vikingo". Kuechly is "El Captain and Davis is "El Cucuy" (The Boogeyman).

Greg Olsen is already nicknamed "Mayonesa" which means mayonnaise and I find it hilarious

Ahhh so that's why he kept yelling mayonesa, I thought that was some sort of slang term for "its gravy" or "so slick" or something.

The best was Gano's winning FG in the MNF game when he yells "Gano" (the verb ganar= to win, so I win or win in the past tense=gano)

So, he yells.....Gano! Gano!, Gano.....lo gano?! Gano lo gano!! so hilarious.

 

To answer your question Mr Scot.....I think apodo or sobrenombre, but I'm sure it depends on the dialect.

    • Philly's defense is great and they run the ball a lot and control the TOP (and they certainly will vs us - this is a big mismatch), so even if Bryce is at his best, I doubt he would have a chance to crack 300 passing yards.  Be damn impressive if he does though, but it all just depends on volume, efficiency, and most importantly... not turning the ball over.
    • Even with Cam I don't think it would have been a hard sell. He always loomed larger than life, but most people that understand football understand the reality of the game. One wrong hit, one wrong step, and a career can be over. It's the thing I've been frustrated about most with every GM we've ever had, including Morgan to this point. We never really developed the QB room. We relied on our starters and when Jake and Cam fell apart, so did the franchise. That's the one position that you can't really afford not to develop a plan B, but we do it with regularity. Dalton wasn't supposed to be a serious threat to Bryce's job and Jack was never a threat to be anything at all. JMO, but we should always have a young guy we're trying to keep on the bench with at least 2 years in the system. If they're not getting it, move on, but always keep rotating guys through. It seems like 2-3 years really is the magic point for QBs to either get a handle or not. It's probably not going to happen, but I'd really like to see that 3rd QB emergency slot become a permanent place to work on developing young QBs. I think it could benefit every team in the league because it's so hard to carry 3 QBs on the roster with all the turn over during the season due to injuries. 
    • Agreed which is why I mentioned it and framed it as being certainly an eat crow moment for a lot of people myself included. I'd love to see him shock the league like that. I think the direction the conversation went immediately after is a prime example of how the topic of Bryce Young in general has become so bitter and contentious. The fanbase is split between people who want to see him look like a first overall pick over the course of multiple starts and not just against inferior defenses and people who apparently have low expectations and are just fine with him not looking horrific. But that's not how the NFL works and that's not why we drafted him.
