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.

    • So... what metrics for production do you believe display these issues/limitations best? Are we only using total passing yards, height, and weight thresholds? If so, then what are those thresholds?
    • I mean as far as his size goes it's all over his tape bouncing up and down on his toes in and around the pocket trying to see the field and defenses know this as well as we do but if folks here want to live in never never land and pretend it's not a thing that's their prerogative. Even our head coach has made it a key focal point to get his footwork under control. But it's still something Bryce is going to be tested on early and often no matter how many keystrokes anyone here commits to the narrative it isn't an issue.
    • It speaks volumes that when asked to define a clear performance threshold the responses instead fixate on Bryce's size. It reinforces what’s been clear for a while now... that for some, it has never been nor will it ever be about production. Any struggles will always be chalked up to his frame, and any strong play will be downplayed or disqualified via highly mobile goalposts.
