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.

    • It’s wild to me that so many of you guys are threatened by the idea of an opposing team fan who is polite in 2025. He’s been posting here on and off for years, usually when our teams play each other which hasn’t been for a while. I’d maybe understand this treatment if it was a falcons or saints fan, but packers fans in general are one of the nicer fan bases as long as you aren’t another NFC north team (especially the bears).   
    • Some players excel on the big stage, while others freeze and succumb to the pressure. I’m not convinced Cam took a dive. I think he didn’t handle the stage very well. The pressure got to him and he folded. He wouldn’t be the first quarterback or player to struggle in a Super Bowl. Two HOF examples - John Elway and Jim Kelly. The 2002 MVP, Rich Gannon, threw 5 interceptions against the Bucs. Poor performances happen.  Unless of course you believe all these players threw the games they played in, but if that occurred, surely someone by now would have admitted taking a dive? 🤷‍♂️
    • It was always a matter of time with Cam’s playing style and a shorter shelf life than passers that protect themselves. I suppose Cam could have still been playing in 2028 ten years after the hit took place, but he would need to have evolved as a quarterback and become more of a passer than the dual threat maestro he was. It’s sad because it makes us think of what could have been, but I do feel it was always a matter of time until all the hits took their toll.
