Eli Manning Explains Why His Brother Peyton Is Always Screaming 'Omaha'

Peyton Manning's pre-snap audibles have become a hot topic of interest, starting with his rampant use of "Omaha!" in the seconds before snapping the ball.



After the Broncos quarterback was counted using the phrase 44 times during a single game, plenty of theories have been spun to try and make sense of the command's meaning.

People have even checked with his brother Eli Manning who has been coy about its meaning in the past -- last year, he wrote it off as a vague term that could mean different things depending on the play call and the circumstances of the game.

But now we know that may not be the case.

According to Giants.com, little brother Eli finally shed some light on the "Omaha" audible to an event for Giants season-ticket holders.

His story is a simple one: Omaha was just a part of the playbook, and the Giants use it as well.

I don't really buy into that. I think the origins of "Omaha" actually go back to the movie "Joe Dirt". Remember when Joe's parents left Joe on that family vacation? I actually think that when Payton yells "Omaha", his mind is actually going back to the move "Joe Dirt" and he's yelling out where he thinks the Manning family should drop off Eli. My .02 any how.
