So people have been wondering this for a long time: what's with Peyton Manning's audibles? Well, according to a semi-recent interview, a lot of what Manning hollers out is simply improvised gibberish designed to fake out the defense. The rest is, interestingly enough, Gaelic. See here for yourself (there's a bit of comic mischief, so it may not be safe to listen to in public.)
"[Number between one and ten], [number in the hundreds], [food object], [style of dance], [Number between one and twenty], [Foreign-sounding word], let's go! go!"
Mine is "Six, four-forty, cream-puff, tango, seventeen, bouquet, let's go, go!"
Time to poll the audience!
